thoroughly  coated  with  lime-sulphur. 
Mixtures  to  Use. — All  things  consid¬ 
ered.  lime-sulphur  still  remains  the  safest 
and  most  effective  material  available  for 
the  control  of  the  San  Jose  scale,  and 
many  will  prefer  the  liquid,  either  com¬ 
mercial  or  homemade,  in  preference  to  the 
dry  powder.  Unless  one  knows  pretty 
accurately  what  the  solution  of  lime-sul¬ 
phur  tests,  then  one  should  buy  a  hydro¬ 
meter  and  test  it.  Lime-sulphur  testing 
33°  Bailing  (1.29  specific  gravity)  should 
be  diluted  at  the  rate  of  one  gallon  to 
eight  gallons  of  water  for  dormant  spray¬ 
ing  for  the  San  Jos6  scale.  If  the  mix¬ 
ture.  for  example,  tests  25°  Baum6 
(1.208  specific  gravity),  it  should  be  di¬ 
luted  at  the  rate  of  one  gallon  to  five 
gallons  of  water.  The  following  table 
gives  the  proper  dilutions  for  dormant 
spraying  for  the  San  Jos6  scale  with  dif¬ 
ferent  strengths  of  lime-sulphur,  and 
these  dilutions  should  be  carefully  fol¬ 
lowed.  The  capacity  of  the  spray  tank 
should  be  accurately  determined,  and  if 
it  holds  more  or  less  than  100  or  200 
gallons,  allowance  should  be  made  for  the 
discrepancy :

If  dry  lime-sulphur  is  preferred,  some¬ 
what  more  than  the  manufacturers  usu¬ 
ally  recommend  should  generally  be  used. 
For  example,  if  the  manufacturers  rec¬ 
ommend  1214  lbs.  of  the  dry  lime-snlphur 
to  50  gallons  of  water,  about  one-third 
more  should  be  used  in  order  to  obtain 
the  best  results.  Every  gallon  of  the  di¬ 
luted  spray  solution  should  contain  4.75 
ounces  of  sulphur  in  order  to  do  effective 
work  in  destroying  the  San  Jos6  scale. 
If  the  dry  lime-sulphur  is  used  in  .suffi¬ 
cient  quantity  it  will  probably  give  satis¬ 
factory  results.  GLENN  W.  HERRICK. 
Inoculated  Sulphur  for  Scab 
I  experimented  on  a  field  that  had  been 
planted  to  potatoes  in  1920,  and  which 
was  practically  a  total  loss  due  to  scab, 
some  of  the  potatoes  absolutely  unrecog¬ 
nizable  as  such.  Soil  sandy  loam.  Plowed 
and  fitted  this  field  with  tractor,  then 
applied  sulphur  with  a  grain  drill  in  order 
to  avoid  its  blowing  back  into  driver’s 
eyes.  Sulphuric  acid  is  bad  stuff.  Disked 
and  cross-disked  until  I  was  sure  it  was 
well  mixed  with  soil.  First  half  of  field 
applied  at  the  rate  of  600  lbs.  per  acre. 
Second  half  (where  scab  was  prevalent  in 
practically  every  hill  in  1920,  but  only 
slight)  I  used  300  lbs.  per  acre.  I  found 
at  digging  time  that  where  600  lbs.  had 
been  used  we  had  an  average  of  only 
about  three  potatoes  to  hill,  but  all  large. 
Back  half  of  field  average  number  of 
potatoes,  5j8,  and  all  large.  During  sea¬ 
son  first  half  of  field  was  always  spind¬ 
ling,  did  not  leaf  and  branch  out  as  it 
should,  in  direct  contrast  to  second  half, 
which  filled  rows  completely.  The  first 
part  of  this  field  was  best  soil.  Same 
fertilizer  application  made  to  entire  field. 
First  half  of  field  yielded  at  rate  of  150 
bu.  to  acre ;  second  half  at  rate  of  250, 
and  it  was  90  per  cent  clean. 
My  opinion  of  inoculated  sulphur  is: 
First — It  controls  scab. 
Second — Six  hundred  pounds  per  acre 
is  too  great,  in  that  it  seriously  retards 
plant  growth. 
Third — Two  to  three  hundred  pounds 
on  our  soil  is  the  right  application. 
Now  to  my  mind  the  great  question 
confronting  the  farmer  is :  What  can  he 
afford  to  spend  on  a  crop?  .  Sulphur  is 
an  additional  cost  and  quite  a  consider¬ 
able  one.  When  table  stock  brings  30  to 
40c  he  can’t  afford  to  grow  potatoes,  lie 
might  better  go  fishing  and  let  the  other 
man  do  the  worrying.  It  is  also  a  ques¬ 
tion  _  with  a  seed  grower,  for  treating, 
continual  spraying,  roguing,  etc.,  tjike 
both  time  and  money.  We  can’t  grow 
good  seed  for  $1  and  make  a  living.  We 
don’t  quite  average  up  perhaps  in  intelli¬ 
gence  with  the  carpenter,  bricklayer, 
plasterer,  plumber,  etc.,  who  with  an  in¬ 
vestment  of  $100  or  less  in  tools  will 
make  $50  to  $90  per  week.  With  our  in¬ 
vestment  of  $20,000.  surely  we  ought  to 
net  as  much  as  said  plumber,  etc.  Yet 
how  many  farmers  do?  Possibly  the  an¬ 
swer  is  50_per  cent  crop  and  1 00  per  cent 
price.  I  intend  making  another  test  on 
SLiine  field,  using  again  200  lbs.  per  acre 
°£.  Lve  :s°d-  together  with  application  fer¬ 
tilizer  4-10-5  rate,  2,000  lbs.  to  acre.

day,  found  herself  clutched  by  the  hand
