Bearing Orchard Propagation 
A LL peach, apple and pear trees offered by us have been grown in 
our own nursery and propagated from bearing orchards. These 
trees can only be purchased direct from us—we have no salesmen. 
The dry summer of 1923 has given us some trees of a smaller 
size than usual, and we offer subject to prior sale the following, 
which are not listed in our general price list. While small, all of 
them have good well developed roots, and if not wanted for the 
orchard this year, they can easily be lined out in a furrow and grown 
in a nursery row for a year.

Horticultural Notes from Missouri 
Spraying Grapes. —For several years 
I have not used Bordeaux on my grapes. 
I had constant trouble with it as re¬ 
spects the staining of the berries with the 
lime. I was never sure that I was 
spraying long enough before ripening 
time to avoid spotting the fruit and I 
found these spots could hardly be washed 
off. An added difficulty was the pres¬ 
ence in the grape rows of raspberries. 
Vines and their berries were also sub¬ 
ject to the dripping from the grape foli¬ 
age and consequent injury to their mar¬ 
keting value. Finally I found a pro¬ 
prietary liquid sulphur spray that was 
a good fungicide and did not stain the 
fruit at any stage of its development, 
and forthwith adopted it in place of the 
Bordeaux. 
Oil Sprays. —In dormant sprays for 
rhe scale an advance has also been made 
in cheapness. Government experiments 
with citrus fruits have demonstrated the 
feasibility of utilizing the low-grade 
heavy lubricating oils in emulsified form. 
There are two processes, one by cooking 
and one by mixing cold. Our local 
State Teachers’ College, under the direc¬ 
tion of its horticultural department, is 
using the process by cooking and is turn¬ 
ing out the ready-for-use emulsified form 
in quantity to supply not only the needs 
of its own orchard but even dealers in ( 
neighboring towns. The formula is red 
engine oil, one gallon ; water, y 2 gallon ; 
potash fish-oil soap, one pound. In this 
proportion the three ingredients are com¬ 
bined and brought to a boiling point, then 
emulsified by pumping the mixture back 
into itself twice. This use of the low- 
grade oils has made it possible to produce 
a dormant scale spray cheaper than any¬ 
thing heretofore used. The college here 
sells it near cost at 35c per gallon, and 
this is diluted in the proportion of three 
gallons to 97 gallons of water, making 
100 gallons cost only $1.05. I used this 
spray in my orchard last Spring with 
good results. Its ratio of effectiveness 
against the scale is rated at from 90 to 
100 per cent. These heavy oils have 
not the volatile qualities of the more re¬ 
fined ones, and therefore less penetrative 
power, but they form an oily coating per¬ 
ceptible to sight and touch which is re¬ 
sistant to rain and changes of tempera¬ 
ture. Experiments show that this dor¬ 
mant spray is innocuous even to green 
growth up to the cluster bud stage of the 
apple. The Missouri Agricultural Col¬ 
lege at Columbia has been conducting 
experiments with engine oils and has is¬ 
sued ‘bulletins giving full explanation 
of their use as sprays, and several for¬ 
mulas that have proven good. One cold 
process formula recommended is engine 
oil, two gallons; water, one gallon; 
Kayso, 4 ozs. If Kayso is not used, then 
Bordeaux H-H -50 must be substituted 
to insure the emulsion from breaking 
down. This mechanical value of the Bor¬ 
deaux is supplemented and doubled by 
its fungicidal properties against the peach 
leaf-curl and the various fungus enemies 
of the apple. One thing is sure and at 
the same time mysterious: that varieties 
of the apple, for example, have their in¬ 
dividual peculiarities, especially as re¬ 
gards the susceptibility of their fruit 
to fungus attacks. In a row of several 
varieties a tree of the Senator blotches 
by far the worst. 
Decreasing Orchards. —According to 
statistics issued by the station, Missouri’s 
acreage of bearing orchards has declined 
50 per cent is the last 20 years. The 
reasons given for such a startling de¬ 
crease are poor crops, inadequate markets 
and the increasing expense of protecting 
trees and fruit against their insect and 
fungus enemies. I was recently informed 
by a man well acquainted with the big 
commercial peach orchard district in the 
Ozarks that plantings of new orchards 
stopped 10 years or so ago. If this be 
true it is a question of only a few years 
when the peach-growing industry there 
will have disappeared. But perchance 
before that time other influences will 
come into play to check this horticultural 
slump, and bring about a more hopeful 
prospect. L. R. JOHNSON.
