SCHEDULE 4. 
ORDER TO ERADICATE DISEASE. 
ak , being a duly authorised person, hereby give you , of a 
notice that your orchard is diseased with , and I order you to take the following 
measure or measures within , for the eradication of such disease or diseases :— 
(a) All fallen fruit of whatever kind (and whether harbouring insects or not) shall be 
gathered before noon of each day and all pest-infested fruit shall be submitted to the 
process of boiling or be buried beneath not less than one foot six inches of solid earth; 
(4) The trees shall be sprayed with one of the following mixtures (the number of sprayings 
and intervals between sprayings to be stated) :— 
\ 
1.—Resin wash for scale insects. 
Take 20 Ib. of resin, 6 lb. of caustic soda (70 per cent.), 3 pints of fish oil, water to make 80 
gallons. Place the resin, caustic soda, and fish oil in a large boiler with 20 gallons of water, and 
boil for three hours, then add hot water slowly and stir well till there are at least 40 gallons of hot 
solution; then add cold water to make up the total to 80 gallons. Never add cold water when 
cooking or the resin will be precipitated, and it will be difficult to get it in solution. The above 
is the strength to use for citrus trees; a winter wash for deciduous trees may be used one-half 
stronger, the:total amount being made up to 54 gallons instead of 80 gallons. 
2.—Sulphur, lime, and salt wash. 
Take 40 lb. of unslacked lime, 20 lb. of sulphur, 15 Ib. of salt, and 50 gallons of water. 
To mix take 10 Ib. of lime, 20 Ib. of sulphur, and 20 gallons of water ; boil for not less than 
one hour and a-half, or until the sulphur is thoroughly dissolved, when the mixture will be of a 
light-amber colour. Slack 30 1b. of lime in a barrel with hot water, and when thoroughly 
slacked, but still boiling, add the 15 Ib. of salt; when this is dissolved the whole should be 
added to the lime and sulphur in the boiler, and the whole boiled for half-an-hour longer, when 
water to make the whole up to 50 gallons should be added. Strain through a wire sieve, and 
keep well stirred whilst in use, 
3.—Bordeaux mixture. 
Winter strength—6 lb, bluestone, 4 Ib. of unslacked lime, 22 gallons of water. 
Summer strength—6 Ib. bluestone, 4 1b, of unslacked lime, 40 gallons of water. 
Prepare as follows (for the 40 gallons solution, the 22 gallons solution in proportion) :-- 
(1.) Dissolve 6 Ib, of bluestone in 20 gallons of cold water in one cask, by placing it in a bag 
and suspending it in the water, 
(2.) Slack 4 Ib. of unslacked lime in another cask slowly by first pouring about 3 pints of 
water over it. This will reduce the lime to a thick cream, free from lumps. Water should now 
be added, stirring well till there is 20 gallons of milk of lime in the cask. 
__ (3.) Stir the milk of lime up well, strain it, and pour the whole of the 20 gallons of milk of 
lime and the 20 gallons of bluestone water together slowly into a third cask, stir well for three 
minutes, and if properly made the mixture is fit for use. 
4.—Any other mixture, particulars to be filled in by a duly authorised person. 
5.—Fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas, particulars to be filled in by a duly authorised 
person,
