Farm Week at Ithaca 
Varieties differ in various sections of 
the country so they are hardly recogniz¬ 
able as the same. Stark's Delicious is a 
good example, five specimens being shown, 
all different. The variety should be suited 
to the soil and climate. Don’t buy varie¬ 
ties extensively that have succeeded in 
another section without giving a small 
try-out locally. Red June was praised 
highly as an early apple, coming at the 
same season as Yellow Transparent, and 
being red in color. 
In the spray line, the value of the de¬ 
layed dormant spray applied as the leaves 
begin t<* push out of the buds, was dis¬ 
cussed. This is composed of lime-sul¬ 
phur 1 to 8. o lbs.; arsenate of lead paste 
and % pint of nicotine (Black-leaf 40). if 
aphids are present. Enough water is 
added to make 100 gals. This seems to be 
coming into favor over the dormant spray, 
and is followed by the pink spray, to get 
the scab, adding nicotine if redbugs are 
present. The calyx spray is given for the 
codling moth, and also controls the our- 
culio, scab and redbugs. In the two last- 
named sprays the lime-sulphur is diluted 
1 to 40. 
In selecting and scoring fruit the vari¬ 
ous irregularities in score cards were 
shown and need of uniformity brought 
out. In this section alone three differ¬ 
ent score cards are used for judging 
fruit. Uniformity of fruit is much bet¬ 
ter than abnormal size in choosing fruit 
for exhibition. 
With small fruits, buyers -are already 
in the field offering prices fully as high 
as last year's prices. The acreage is less 
than in four or five years, due to the 
labor situation. The fruit is much in de¬ 
mand for jams and jellies. Preserving 
companies want strawberries, raspberries 
and gooseberries. There are good oppor¬ 
tunities in small fruits at the present 
time, provided the labor is available. In 
discussing the outlook for fruit growing, 
tlie fact was brought out that there has 
been little change in production since 
1890. The cold Winter of 1917 will not 
show in the total production figures, ac¬ 
cording to the fruit department. 
The East need not worry about the 
competition from the Western fruit as 
long as quality is kept up. The freight 
charges from the West average $3 a bar¬ 
rel. or 8300 a car of 100 barrels. Vir¬ 
ginia may give New York serious compe¬ 
tition, as,the freight rates are about the 
same to the New York market as from 
Western New York. The trees do not 
live as long in the Virginia section, only 
1 per cent of the trees being over .10 
years of age. The Ozark region and Illi¬ 
nois are declining, due to diseases and the 
difficulty of financing, especially in the 
former case. It seems an opportune time 
for planting peaches in right sections, as 
the total number of trees seems to be on' 
the decline. Nursery stock will be higher | 
next year, as foreign stocks are costing 
880 per 1,000 at present, or about what 
we used to pay for a full-grown tree. A 
few American-grown stocks are on the 
market this year at the same price. These 
were grown in Kansas. 
General farm prices will remain high, 
according to Dr. Warren, and have a 
gradual decline unless we have over-pro¬ 
duction in some lines. In such a case 
there will be a sudden drop in that line, 
as there was with hogs this past year. 
Dusting is being used more aud more as 
an auxiliary spray, and is being used en¬ 
tirely by some growers. Dry lime-sulphur 
is still in the experimental stage. We 
need 4 : , ! .j oz. of sulphur to a gallon of mix¬ 
ture to be efficient. By following direc¬ 
tions on the packages we do not get this 
much sulphur, aud to put in the desired' 
amount the cost is too great. Suggested j 
that we would better stick to the lime- 
sulphur solution until the dry mixture is 
past the experimental stage.

Sugar from Molasses 
We found several pounds of sugar iu a 
molasses barrel. IIow can we use it? 
J. B. M. 
Wash it out by several treatments with 
boiling water, strain and concentrate to a 
syrup. You will get less sugar than you 
expect. Part of the sediment is various 
mineral salts which are naturally iu the| 
juice; they are quite harmless, but they 
are not sugar. f. d. c. I
