Lubricating Oil for the Spray 
I have had on hand for some years 40 
gallons of heavy lubricating oil. As I 
have had no use for it, I have been think¬ 
ing it would be of value to spray trees. I 
have secured an old orchard this year 
that has never been sprayed or taken care 
of much. Would you advise me to mix 
a quart of this heavy lubricating oil with 
my regular miscible oil spray, or would 
you advise using this heavy lubricating 
oil in some other way, omitting the other 
spray on this old orchard? I have young 
orchards from two to eight years old also, 
and 1,000 peach trees three years old. 
Granite Springs, N. Y. G. G. S. 
Certain lubricating oils are being used 
iu the Middle West for spraying apple 
trees to control the San Jose scale. The 
oils that have proved most successful are 
the so-called “red engine” oils used in 
stationary engines. Such brands as “Dia* 
mond paraffin” oil and “red engine” oil 
have been employed to make emulsions 
for application to trees infested with the 
scale. An emulsion has to be made of 
the oil before it can be diluted with water 
and sprayed on the trees. The formula 
for the emulsion is as follows: 
Red engine oil. 2 gallons 
Water (soft) . 1 gallon 
Potash fishoil soap. 2 pounds 
The oil, water and soap are placed in a 
kettle or tank and heated until they come 
to a boil. Just before boiling a brown 
scum arises to the surface, but as soon as 
the mixture actually boils this scum will 
begin to disappear. As soon as the scum 
begins to go away the boiling should stop. 
In fact, the mixture should not boil more 
than a few minutes. 
The entire mixture, while hot, should 
be passed through the spray pump at 
least twice under considerable pressure, 
so that an emulsion will surely be formed. 
This amount of stock emulsion is suffi¬ 
cient for a 100-gallon spray tank, enough 
water, 97 gallons, being added to fill the 
tank. This will give a 2 per cent emul¬ 
sion, which is safe to apply to trees dur¬ 
ing the dormant period—any time in 
March or April before the buds burst, 
and on a warm day when it is not freez¬ 
ing. Oils will give good satisfaction jn 
old apple trees. 
We do not know what kind of lubri¬ 
cating oil G. G. S. has on hand, and do 
not know whether it will answer the pur¬ 
pose or not. If it is either of the two 
brands mentioned it will be satisfactory. 
I should urge the use of a potash fishoil 
soap, which can be purchased of certain 
wholesale chemical companies. 
Perhaps it would be just as well for 
G. G. S. to use the miscible oil that he 
has on hand. This ought to control the 
scale on old apple trees if applied before 
the buds burst and on a warm day when 
the temperature is above freezing.

Damping-off of Peppers 
I own a greenhouse and raise vege¬ 
tables, such as tomatoes, peppers, celery, 
eggplant and cabbage. I use sandy soil 
and sift the soil so as to remove stones 
and rough particles. This soil has been 
turned over in the Summer and mixed 
with fertilizer, and has been outside all 
Winter. I am just starting to sow the 
seeds in the greenhouse, and when _ the 
peppers and eggplants are about an inch 
high they begin to die. The roots are 
living, but when the plants get above 
the ground they wither. All the juice 
runs out of the stem. J. B. 
The loss of the plants may be due to 
the damping-off fungus, Rhizoctonia, 
which is found in practically all soils, 
and which thrives under the moist con¬ 
ditions and upon the decaying material 
usually found in seed beds or greenhouses. 
It grows on or near the surface of the 
soil, and attacks the plants near the 
ground, spreading very rapidly through 
the bed and sometimes cutting the plants 
down as though cut by insects. 
There have been many suggestions how 
to control the trouble, one being the treat¬ 
ment of the soil with sulphur or with al¬ 
kali, but so far control by such means 
has not been satisfactory. The best 
method is to keep the surface of the soil 
fairly dry ; that is, by covering the sur¬ 
face with a sprinkling of sand or by 
stirring the surface as soon as possible 
after watering. The fungus grows mostly 
on or near the surface of the ground, and 
must have abundance of moisture to make 
a vigorous growth, so that anything that 
tends to keep the surface relatively dry j 
will help to hold the fungus in check.
