Training  Purple  Raspberries;  Curing 
Sunflower  Seed 
1.  I  have  pinched  the  tips  off  Colum¬ 
bian  raspberries  at  2  to  3  ft.  high,  which 
has  sent  strong  growth  into  the  laterals. 
Now,  how  shall  these  laterals  be  treated; 
there  are  some  4  ft.  long.  One  man  tells 
me  to  wait  until  Spring  to  train  them 
back,  but  I  am  afraid  that  such  heavy 
growth  will  be  broken  by  snow.  2. 
'Which  would  be  the  most  practical  way 
to  cure  18  or  20  bushels  of  sunflower 
seed  this  Fall  ?  c.  E.  W. 
KirkviUe,  N.  Y. 
1.  You  have  handled  your  canes  just 
about  right.  Now,  if  you  will  follow  the 
advice  of  the  man  who  told  you  to  forego 
cutting  back  the  laterals  until  Spring, 
you  will  be  following  the  orthodox  rules 
in  regard  to  handling  purple  raspberries. 
However,  if  you-  feel  anxious  about  in¬ 
jury  from  snow  this  Winter,  you  might 
Fry  running  a  one-wire  trellis  or  a  hori¬ 
zontal  trellis  with  a  wire  on  either  side  of 
the  row  to  hold  the  canes  erect. 
2.  We  have  never  cured  as  much  sun¬ 
flower  seed  as  you  are  contemplating  han¬ 
dling.  It  would  seem  to  me  that  trays 
with  bottoms  of  wire  screening  would  be 
ideal  for  the  purpose.  h.  b.  t. 
Control  of  Apple  Scab 
'Will  you  please  tell  me  if  there  is  any 
better  spray  mixture  to  use  for  scab  on 
apples  than  the  two  mixtures  I  used. 
Fast  year  I  used  1%  gallons  of  commer¬ 
cial  lime-sulphur  and  1  lb.  powdered  lead 
arsenate  to  50  gallons  of  water.  1 
sprayed  five  time  and  three  parts  of  my 
apples  were  covered  with  scab.  This 
season  I  have  sprayed  five  times  with 
Bordeaux  and  my  apples  arc  just  as  bad. 
My  trees  are  old  but  they  are  very  fine 
and  large  and  the  foliage  looks  healthy. 
Yet  il  looks  like  working  for  nothing. 
Last  year  my  trees  averaged  seven  bar¬ 
rels  to  the  tree  and  not  over  two  barrels 
of  salable  ones.  j.  l. 
The  point  in  control  of  insect  and  di¬ 
sease  troubles  by  spraying  is  not  how 
many  sprays  were  applied,  but  at  what 
time  they  were  applied.  In  the  control 
of  most  of  these  pests  there  is  a  particu¬ 
lar  time  when  each  is  very  susceptible  to 
attack,  or  when  a  “stitch  in  time  will 
save  nine.  ’  The  critical  time  with  apple 
scab  is  early  in  the  season,  before  the 
fruit  has  fully  set. 
It  would  be  a  revelation  to  a  great 
many  growers  if  they  could  take  some 
old  scab-infested  leaves  from  under  the 
trees  very  early  in  the  Spring  and  ex¬ 
amine  them  under  the  microscope.  In 
many  years  they  would  see  the  scab 
spores  shooting  out  of  the  old  scab  les¬ 
ions  even  before  the  apple  trees  showed 
signs  of  growth.  It  is  not  surprising, 
then,  that  a  delayed  dormant  spray  has 
been  found  to  help  materially. 
The  first  standard  spray  for  scab, 
however,  is  when  ]thp  blossoms  show 
pink.  The  second  should  be  applied  when 
the  last  of  the  petals  are  falling ;  the 
third,  10  days  or  two  weeks  later  in 
case  the  season  is  wet;  and  the  fourth, 
about  the  first  of  August  as  insurance 
against  late  secondary  infection. 
The  materials  that  you  are  using  are 
the  best  that  are  now  known.  It  is  a 
good  practice  to  use  the  lime-sulphur 
in  the  fore  part  of  the  season  instead  of 
the  Bordeaux,  for  the  latter  is  apt  to 
give  considerable  injury  to  the  fruit : 
while  in  the  Summer,  upon  excessively 
hot  days,  it  is  best  to  use  Bordeaux  be¬ 
cause  lime-sulphur  may  produce  some 
burning.  H.  B.  T. 
Black  Rot  on  Grapes 
hat  kind  of  rot  is  affecting  grape 
vines  of  which  sample  is  sent?  They 
have  been  sprayed  with  4-4-40  Bordeaux 
three  times  and  rot  has  appeared  since 
fhe  last  time.  They  had  a  pretty  heavy 
coating,  and  I  am  suspicious  that  sprav 
has  something  to  do  with  it.  The  sam- 
ple  is  Pocklington.  Another  white  grape. 
(Diamond),  is  affected.  None  of  the 
dark-colored  grapes  show  this  trouble. 
Biltmore,  N.  C.  F.  e.  b. 
The  grape  rot  here  in  question  is  no 
doubt  black  rot.  It  is  very  possible  un¬ 
der  favorable  weather  conditions  to  have 
this  appear  even  after  three  treatments. 
In  some  parts  of  the  States  it  is  neces¬ 
sary  to  make  at  least  six  sprayings.  It 
is  very  necessary  to  control  this  disease 
that  the  first  application  be  made  when 
the  second  and  third  leaves  are  showing 
on  the  new  shoot.  The  second  treatment 
should  be  just  before  blooming.  A  third 
just  after  the  berries  are  set  and  the 
others  are  to  follow  at  intervals  of  two 
weeks.  p.  E.  GLADWIN. 
All-Steel  Body  with 
Baked  Enamel  Finish 
Tough  steel  of  ample  thick¬ 
ness  to  withstand  hard  usage 
around  the  farm.  Enamel, 
baked  on — literally  fused  into 
the  steel  body  at  a  temperature 
of  450°  F. — a  process  that  is

body — guaranteeing  perma¬ 
nence  to  the  lustrous  finish

These  are  added  values  which 
combine  to  make  owners  call 
the  Overland  “the  most  auto¬
