REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST 1017 10 
Plot 1 was located in the first and second rows on the south side 
and next to a peach orchard and on the fourth to sixth rows, inclusive, 
from the west side. Plot 2 was on the third row from the peach 
orchard and the second and th'rd rows from the west sde, the 
latter being occupied by a young apple orchard. Plot 3 began with 
the fourth row from the south s:de and was on the ffth and sixth 
rows from the west side. ‘There was also a fourth plot which was 
on the fifth row from the south s'de and the th'rd and fourth rows 
from the east side. This last consisted of three Faldwin trees and 
three greenings. The two check trees were the second and fourth 
trees from the west side and in the second row from the north. 
The first application was made June oth. Tiger nozzles were 
used, three on the tower with a 1o foot extension and two on the 
ground. The distribution was excellent and the trees were well 
covered. Thomsen’s arsenate of lead was used at the rate of 
25 pounds to 50 gallons of water and lime sulphur 32° Baume 1 to 
40. A pressure was maintained of from 175 to 200 pounds and 
about 20 gallons of material were applied to each tree. 
The following notes were made at spraying time. Plot 1, trees 
A and E, and plot 2, tree C, had a light bloom. Tree E in plot 2 
had only about one-fourth of a bloom. The trees in plot 3 were well 
and heavily loaded with blossoms and those of plot 4, both greenings 
and Baldwins, showed a good bloom and at the time of spraying about 
one-third of the blossoms had fallen from the greening trees. 
The second spraying in this orchard was given July oth, the 
work beginning at 9.40 a. m. but, owing to engine troubles, the 
spraying was not completed until afternoon. Trees A, C and E 
of plot 4 and one-half of the other three were nearly completed in 
the morning. The work was exceptionally thorough. There were 
two leads of hose, one man standing on the tower and the other 
working from the ground. There was very little breeze, the foliage 
was well loaded with the spray and yet there was comparatively 
little dripping. Ten pounds of Thomsen’s orchard brand arsenate 
of lead was used to 200 gallons and lime sulphur at the rate of 1 
to 40. 
Plots 2 and 3 were sprayed later under the supervision of 
Mr Spooner. It was stated that trees C and E of plot 4 were not 
sprayed from the under side in the pink of the bloom and con- 
sequently there was perceptibly more scab than on other trees in 
this plot, although there is a fairly good crop of fruit, and the same 
is true of the other trees.
