Kills Shot Hole Borers with Homemade Mixture 
“Here is my method of controlling shot hole and other borers in my 
orchard,’’ says John Whiteside of Illinois. ‘'I take a half-gallon of liquid 
lime-sulphur, a quart of hydrated lime, four ounces of crude carbolic 
acid, and a pint of flour, first mixing the lime-sulphur and carbolic 
acid together and then the flour and hydrated lime, after which they 
are all mixed, stirring well all the time. I paint this material on trees 
of any age, from the bottom of the trunk up about 18 inches. The first 
application is made in late April and intermittently thereafter, until 
the middle of June. I put the mixture on the trees as needed, which 
, can be determined by inspection of the trees.’’ 
HOW TO KILL PEACH BORERS: Use pure Paradichlorobenzene on trees 
when temperature averages 60 degrees F. Remove with hoe all 
weeds, sticks, etc., from trunk of tree for a space of 6 to 12 inches. 
Remove any thick masses of gum on the trunk of tree. Place from 
3% to 1¥2 ounces of Paradichlorobenzene in a narrow band 2 inches 
from trunk of tree. Do not place the crystals against the trunk for 
serious injury might result. Then place 4 to 6 shovels full of dirt 
over crystals, mounding up toward the trunk. Leave 3 to 4 weeks, 
then tear down mounds. Should be applied in the fall. 
PEACH CURL: A fungus that attacks the twigs, leaves and blossoms 
of the current season’s growth and causes the leaves to puff and 
fold and makes the edges curl inward. Sprays should be applied 
some time during the dormant season before growth starts. For 
each 100 gallons of spray, use 1214 gallons of commercial liquid 
lime-sulphur. If an oil Bordeaux is desired, for each 100 gallons oil 
spray use from 3 to 4 gallons of boiled or cold mix lubricating oil 
emulsion plus Bordeaux 6-6-100. These sprays will control both peach 
leaf curl and San Jose scale. Where scale is not present, Bordeaux 
6-6-100 or lime-sulphur solution at the rate of 7 gallons in 100 gallons 
of spray will control peach leaf curl. 
EVERGREENS (Planted for Windbreak) 
For results in 6 years or more— 
10 feet apart 
For results in 4 years— 
5 feet apart 
(Take out every other tree later.) 
For results in 2 years— 
2¥2 feet apart 
(Gradually thin out to 10 ft. apart 
as trees develop.) 
to fill around ball. 

NOTE: Evergreens with bare roots are planted 
the same as trees. Take care never 
to leave the roots exposed a single 
moment.

How to Plant Evergreens: 
(1) Dig hole a foot larger and deeper than 
ball of earth. Provide good, loamy top soil

HOW TO KEEP RABBITS FROM GNAWING FRUIT TREES: Paint trees 
with the following mixture use Y4 gallon of lime-sulphur, 3 pints 
of water, 4 pint of common flour, 1 lb. lime. Should be painted about 
2 feet high for cotton tails and about 3 feet for jack rabbits. Apply 
in late fall or early winter and then again about February Ist. 
ROSE MILDEW: A light sprinkling of sulphur flour will generally 
check this. If this isn’t beneficial, dissolve 1 ounce of potassium 
sulphur in 2 gallons of cold water and apply as a fine spray. 
BLACK SPOTS ON ROSES: A disease of fungous nature that appears 
as a black spot on the leaf and later turns yellow and falls. It 
usually occurs in the latter part of the season. If it has appeared 
in the past on your plants a spraying in April, before the foliage 
appears, with Bordeaux Mixture will be necessary as a correction. 
BAG WORMS ON EVERGREENS: May be controlled effectively by 
spraying with arsenate of lead, using 3 lbs. of powder in 100 gal- 
lons of water as soon as the larvae have all hatched, that is, some 
time early in June. In case only a few trees aree affected, hand- 
picking the bags in the fall or early spring is an effective measure. 
RED SPIDERS ON EVERGREENS: Wetting trees during the hot part 
of the day and then immediately dusting them with finely powdered 
sulphur, thoroughly coating the foliage when temperature is above 
70 degrees, is most effective. Usually requires more than one appli- 
cation. 
SCHEDULE ON APPLYING SPRAYS: Write to your State Experiment 
Station for information on when and how to spray your fruit trees. 
Or ask your local spray dealer and he will be glad to give you this 
information. 
SEEDLINGS: Do not allow your trees to sprout out below the top bud 
or graft as the trees will be seedlings when allowed to sprout. Break 
off all sprouts that come out below the top graft or buds so that the 
trees will be true to name.
