fruit is infected. The fruit is bumpy and 
troubled with scab, but where we have 
been able to spray with lime sulphur—my 
practice has been to give them iron in¬ 
secticide or some of the oils using that in 
connection with the lime sulphur, we have 
been able to keep the fruit in fairly good 
condition. We feel that we have it fairly 
in hand with the lime sulphur. 
We all have it, more or less, around the 
Winter Haven district. Mr. Cochran has 
used noth in ^ in the world but lime sul¬ 
phur, and he has the best and brightest 
fruit I know of. I have felt that faithful 
spraying with lime sulphur will do the 
work. I think he has sprayed seven times 
during the season. He may have used 
Schnarrs insecticide once or twice, or 
something like that. His trees are as 
clean and bright as anybody could wish 
for. I think the results of the sales of the 
fruit from Winter Haven and Florence 
Villa will indicate that the fruit is pretty 
free from scab.
