SCHEDULE 4. 
Orper To Hrapicate Disks. 
it, , being a duly authorised person, hereby give you ; 
of , 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-intested fruit shall 
be submitted to the process of boiling or be buried beneath not less than 
one foot six inches of solid earth: 
(b) 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 lb. of resin, 6 Ib. 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 salé wash. 
Take 40 1b. of unslacked lime, 20 1b. of sulphur, 15 1b. 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 lb. 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 
allons should be added. Strain through a wire sieve, and keep well stirred whilst 
in use. 
3.—Bordeaux mixture. 
Winter strength—6 Ib. bluestone, 4 1b. of unslacked lime, 22 gallons of water. 
Summer strength—6 lb. bluestone, 4 Tb. of unslacked lime, 40 gallons of water. 
Prepare as follows (for the 40 gallons solution, the 22 gallons solution in 
proportion) :— 
(1.) Dissolve 6 1b. 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 4.1b. 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.) Stirthe milk of lime up well, strain it, and pour the whole of the 20 gallons 
of milk of lime and tho 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.
