INSECTS AND FUNGUS DISEASES. 
Codling Moth — Attacks fruit of apple 
and pear frees. Spray with Arsenate of 
Lead when petals are falling, making sure 
to direct the spray into the blossoms with 
a powerful pressure. 
San Jose Scale — Spray in spring 
before buds open with Home-made Lime 
Sulphur or Commercial Lime Sulphur 1-9. 
Aphis — A Macks apples and cherries 
principally. Spray just as buds are swel- 
ing and before the small leaves have 
separated, with Kerosene Emulsion or 
Tobacco Preparation. Second spray one 
month after leaves open. The first spray¬ 
ing is by far the most important, as the 
aphids will crawl into the axils of leaves 
and hide as soon ns they begin lo open 
and then it is impossible to reach them 
with spray. 
Red Bug — Attacks fruit of apples just 
after it has set, causing the small, gnarly 
apples so often seen in the centers and 
lower branches of trees. When spraying 
for Codling Moth, add to the Arsenate of 
Lead “Black Leaf 40,“ or some similar 
preparation, 1 pt. to 100 gals., which will 
control both. 
Peach Borers—Recognized by gummy 
exudations filled with sawdust near base 
of tree. Dig them out. with knife in May 
and October. After digging in May, spray 
with a very thick solution of Lime Sulphur, 
adding Arsenate 3 lbs. to 50 gals. Then 
mound earth about the trunks. 
Peach Yellows and Little Peach — 
Cut out and burn these trees os soon as 
discovered. 
Asparagus Beetles — Spray with Ar¬ 
senate of Lead, 3 lbs. to 50 gals., as each 
brood appears, In this latitude there are 
3 broods each season. 
Peach Leaf Curl — If the San Jose 
Scales spraying is made early in the spring 
before the buds swell, it will control the 
Leaf Curl at the same time. 
Brown Rot and Peach Scab—Attacks 
peaches and cherries. For peaches, spray 
when the fruit is the size of Hickory Nuts 
and again one month later with Self-boiled 
Lime Sulphur. 
Apple Scab — Spray just before blos¬ 
soms open when the stems have separated, 
with Bordeaux 4-4-50. Second spraying, 
at time of Codling Moth, use Commercial 
Lime Sulphur, 1 gal. to 150 gals, water, or 
Self-boiled Lime Sulphur. The Arsenate 
of Lead can be mixed with the Lime 
Sulphur without any bad effects. Apple 
Scab must have still another spraying two 
weeks later with Lime Sulphur. It is 
absolutely necessary to treat this three 
times. Not one can be omitted without 
trouble following. 
Pear Blight — Cut out and burn all 
infected parts at once. Be sure to cut 
several inches below the dead wood, so 
as to reach healthy tissues. Be sure 
to dip and wipe the knife or saw in Corro¬ 
sive Sublimate after each cut. 
Black Knot—Attacks cherry and plum. 
Cut out and burn all affected parts, as in 
Pear Blight, using the same method of 
sterilization.
