ILLINOIS METALS COMPANY

SPRAYING FOR FANCY PEACHES. 
The successful production of fancy 
peaches is dependent on many factors, 
not tbe least of which is the practice 
of systematic- spraying, to control the 
many insect pests and fungus diseases 
which attack this most profitable crop. 
Also, systematic spraying is determined 
by three factors; knowing when to spray, 
knowing with what to spray, and spray¬ 
ing thoroughly, all of which are of equal 
importance. 
The first spraying should be made with 
a mixture of eight or nine parts water to 
one part of concentrated lime-sulphur. 
This spraying is for the control of the 
insect pest San Jose scale and the fungus 
disease, peach leaf-curl. It must be ap¬ 
plied while the trees are in the dormant 
state and it is well to delay this spray 
until well into the Spring, but care should 
be token not to delay it too long. If the 
fruit buds have begun to show color 
when this spray is applied there is great 
danger of burning them, and if the leaves 
have started to show the least bit beyond 
two to three weeks. This is the last 
spraying necessary, except for the very 
late varieties, which might be helped by 
a third application of self-boiled lime 
and sulphur in two or three weeks. 
However, the last spraying should never 
be made less than four weeks before 
picking time. If it is made later than 
this the fruit is quite likely to have a 
whitewashed appearance, which is very 
undesirable. So much for the first two 
factors which determines systematic 
spraying. The third factor speaks for 
itself. Spray thoroughly. 
HOWARD L EAJtL. 
Fruit Planting at Three-score. 
The question put by L. I’. II., page 
180, interested me greatly, as it no doubt 
did many others situated as he is. I, too, 
am past the 00-mile post, and have but 
recently put the same question, and an¬ 
swered it, to my full satisfaction. Of 
course, iu solving this problem much de¬ 
pends on the foundation, or starting 
jxriut. The first and important question 
the buds, it is too late to control the loaf- 
eurl, as the spores of this disease have 
then had an opportunity to lodge there¬ 
on. As the functions of the leaves can¬ 
not be carried on when infested with 
leaf-curl, it is evident that the spray 
should be applied before the leaves have 
made their first appearance and the dis¬ 
ease obtained a foothold. However, if 
the peach tree is infested with leaf-curl, 
it will shed these leaves and then send 
out a second crop. This is a great drain 
on the vitality of the tree and every ef¬ 
fort should be made to control peach 
leaf-curl. 
The second spray should be made with 
an arsenical poison, perferably arsenate 
of lead, using three pounds to 50 gallons 
of water, and should be applied just after 
the petals have fallen from the tree. 
This is for the control of eurculio which 
bores a small hole in the peach into 
which she deposits tut egg. With proper 
conditions this egg hatches into a small 
white larva which eats its way through 
to the pit; most peaches infested with 
this larva fall to the ground as “June 
drops.” The eurculio not only deposits 
eggs in the pencil hut also feeds upon 
it. The injuries caused by this feeding 
afford a fine opportunity for brown rot 
to enter. By thorough spraying with an 
arsenical spray, just after the petals 
have fallen, a great many peaches can be 
saved from the attack of this insect. 
Just after the husks nave fallen from 
the little peaches, the first application of 
self-boiled lime and sulphur should he 
made. This spray is for the control of 
the two fungus diseases, brown rot and 
peach scale, which are only too well 
known to most peach growers. This 
spray should be follow t-rt by another ap¬ 
plication of the same, mixture in from 
undoubtedly is, what is the condition of 
the ground which he proposes to plant? 
L uder the most favorable conditions the 
laying out and caring for a young or¬ 
chard involves considerable labor; and, 
where the ground planted is unsuitable 
to begin with, we can hardly expect sat¬ 
isfactory results within the period allot¬ 
ted to us. But, on ground which has pre¬ 
viously been in cultivation, and can be 
maintained in good condition without too 
great an outlay of labor, results could be 
made highly satisfactory. You reply to 
him that peaches and plums and some 
few varieties of apples will give early 
returns, I have found by experience that 
not only peaches and plums, but apples 
and pears have given me prompt returns, 
and have been highly satisfactory. But, 
and here is the solution, I have planted 
all dirarf Ircrs. These gave me almost 
immediate returns. Apple and pear trees 
planted in the Spring of 101.” are now 
full of fruit spurs, and give promise of 
a crop of from five to 20 fruits each this 
Summer. Peach trees planted at the 
same time show an abundance of double 
and triple fruit buds. 
However, it is not alone the prospect 
of the fruit which has proven so satisfac¬ 
tory ; it has been that great pleasure, 
which you so aptly point to, of seeing the 
trees prosper and beautify your sur¬ 
roundings, that continual care and atten¬ 
tion bestowed, labor which is not drudg¬ 
ery, but a recreation. I never before in 
all my recollection slept as soundly as I 
have since I laid out my home orchard! 
Yes, say to L. F. IL, and to all others 
who have advanced to where they can 
say “I am (>5 years young,” go ahead, 
plant fruit tress but plant dwarf trees, 
and your reward is not far off. I.. K.
