has always the same high efficiency—is more 
simple, cleaner and easier to handle than a 
paste material—is easily mixed and needs no 
straining—can be measured easily and cor¬ 
rectly. “Corona Dry” positively kills and 
exterminates Coddling Moth, Curculio and 
all leaf-eating insects ol both fmit and shade 
trees. One pound of “Corona Dry” will 
do the work of three pounds of paste and

Keep Up Spraying. 
There is no scale in this section, and 
never has been. Is there any need of 
using dormant spray on apple orchard? 
My neighbors all use dormant spray, but 
do not know what they use it for. 
Dale, N. Y. G. c. M. 
Are you perfectly sure there is no 
scale in your section? We have known 
cases when people were very positive 
about this, yet the scale suddenly ap¬ 
peared. This insect breeds with great 
rapidity, and a very few of them would 
soon plaster an orchard. We know a 
number of fruit growers who feel that 
they have certainly cleaned the scale out 
of their orchard, yet they continue dor¬ 
mant spraying. They call it an insur¬ 
ance against scale which is worth while, 
and they are also convinced that the 
lime-sulphur helps clean out several 
other insects, and is also very useful in 
combating leaf-curl, brown rot, and sev¬ 
eral other diseases of fruit trees. We 
think your neighbors are wise in keeping 
up their spraying. 
Coloring Lime-sulphur Mixture. 
What can I use to color the lime-sul¬ 
phur so we can tell where we left off 
spraying? d. p. 
In my opinion there is very little need 
of a marker to indicate where the spray¬ 
ing has stopped when lime-sulphur is 
used. If the material is put on with 
sufficient thoroughness, it will leave a 
very evident mark when applied in Win¬ 
ter at the usual Winter strengths for 
scale. It may require that one get closer 
to the trees in order to see the mark, 
but it is always there with abundant 
definiteness wherever the applications are 
made sufficiently heavy. In the Summer 
the marks of spray are even more evi¬ 
dent because of the foliage, upon which 
the dried spray clings and stands out 
very prominently. For these reasons 
therefore I would not advise the use of 
any marker in connection with lime-sul¬ 
phur. If the inquirer is insistent on se¬ 
curing more distinct evidence, however, 
he can readily do so by adding slaked 
lime at the rate of three to six pounds 
per 50 gallons. This addition will make 
a very satisfactory marker, but it in¬ 
creases the mechanical difficulties of 
spraying somewhat, and it also tends to 
break down the polysulfids in the lime- 
sulphur solution, which may reduce the 
effectiveness of the spray to some extent.

A few pounds of lime slaked and added 
to a barrel of the dilute lime-sulphur 
mixture used for dormant spraying, will 
make the trees much whiter so that one 
is able to distinguish the sprayed from 
the unsprayed trees. It will not be de¬ 
trimental to the mixture. This question 
has oft n arisen among orchardists, and 
they speak of adding the lime as a mark¬ 
er. It does not render the lime-sulphur 
mixture any more effective in killing the 
scale, nor does it make it less so, but 
simply shows where it has been applied. 
W. E. BRITTON, 
Connecticut. State Entomologist. 
If D. P. desires to have a marker in 
his lime-sulphur such can be secured by 
adding four to five pounds of caustic 
lime, which has been slaked and made 
into “milk of lime” to each 50 gallons j 
of the spray mixture. This lime could be 
slaked up in any quantity as a stock J 
solution, so as to have one pound of i 
lime to each gallon of water: then in j 
order to have four or five pounds of lime 
to each 50 gallons of the lime-sulphur it 
can be measured out in gallons. The 
stock solution of “milk of lime” should 
of course, be strained as it is put in the 
spray tank. We have used two pounds 
of dime to 50 gallons of lime-sulphur, but 
this does not mark the trees very dis- j 
tinctly, and I think four or five pounds 
would be better. m. a. blake.

The addition of some material to the 
dilute lime-sulphur solution to mark trees 
during the progress of spraying opera¬ 
tions is a subject which has been brought 
to our attention a number of times dur¬ 
ing the past few years. This was par¬ 
ticularly true during the period which 
marked the change from the use of the 
old homemade, boiled lime-sulphur solu¬ 
tion to the use of the concentrated pre¬ 
parations. With continued use of the 
concentrated solution growers in New 
York have come to recognize when the 
trees are thoroughly coated with the 
wash, and for this reason few orchard¬ 
ists take the trouble to add any marking 
material to the liquid. If. however, such 
material is desired it is possible to add 
a solution of air-slaked lime, or per¬ 
haps a milk of lime made from stone 
lime. If a marker is desired at least five 
pounds of either of those materials is 
necessary in order to whiten the trees. 
As a rule, however, I believe that if a I 
tree is thoroughly drenched with the 
mixture it is unnecessary to add any 
marker to the solution.
