(p. 36), that the results were evidently due largely to the unusu- 
ally favorable weather conditions, as there were no rains suffi- 
ciently heavy to wash off the lime for nearly three weeks after 
the applications were made. The statement is also made that 
if a week or two of dry weather following the applications could 
be counted on, the lime, sulphur and salt wash would be as 
effectual here in the East as on the Pacific coast. 
The wash was made after the following formula, the ingredi- 
ents being steam boiled together in a barrel and applied hot.

Kerosene-lime emulsionSeveral experiments with this com- 
pound were also made by Dr. Marlatt, who gives a brief account 
of them in the bulletin just referred to, pages 37-88. The mix- 
ture was first suggested to him by Professor Galloway, who pre- 
pared it after the following formula:

“ Slack the lime slowly with small quantities of water in order 
to get a creamy solution. When thoroughly slacked dilute to 
5 gallons, add 1 gallon of kerosene and churn until emulsified 
(one or two minutes).” 
The experiments were considered as indicating this compound 
to be a promising one. The suggestion is made, however, that 
it is possible that more lime would have been an advantage, 
making a better emulsion and a slightly heavier wash.
