MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREOOX, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1911. PAGE THREE WW m 4 $ Lime-Sulphur Its Use as a Fungicide and an Insecticide -By-,Prof. P. J. O'Oara, Pathologist. Written especially for the Medford Mail Tribune. (Copyright, 1911, by Mcdfonl Printing Company.) (Twelfth installment.) General Hocoiiiiiiemlntlons. Throughout the pages of this bulle tin, the reader will have gathered ihe following important facts. First, lime-sulphur is a fungicide nnd tin insecticide; second, it is a very cauu tic spray and the commercial con centrations even considerably dilut ed are not recommended for summer spraying in the Uogue river valley; third, for our purpose, that is to say, for the Kogue river valley, the lime sulphur diluted according to the ta ble given should be used as a dor mant spray; fourth, this dormant spraying is best done in the spring as late as possible and before the buds begin to burst open;, fifth, lime-sulphur, although showing con siderable efficiency in the control oi pench blight, or shot hole, and an thracnose of the apple, is not rec ommended since its sticking qualities are not so good as Bordeaux mixture which is always applied in the fall before thu rains begin. While the spring application con trons San Jo.se scale, peach moth, pear leaf blister mite, and peach leaf curl perfectly, and the same cannot he said of the wooly aphis, green aphis, red spider and npple mildew. The fact that the wooly aphis inhabits the roots of the apple trees, makes it rather difficult to get at. However, if the spray is applied when the win-tered-ovcr lice are migrating, and are not yet covered with their waxy coat, they may be destroyed in very largo numbers if the lime-sulphur is applied heavily to the body and crown of the tree. It is also a good plan to bare the roots at some dis tance from tho base of the tree be fore applying tho spray. On the other hand, the green apple aphis lives over winter in the egg. These shiny, blnck eggs may be found on the young shoots or twigs clustered around tho terminals. The eggs may bo killed by a strong applica tion of lime-sulphur if applied late enough. Too early applications are not effective. The completo control of these plant lice has not been se cured by lime sulphur, but it has been practiced for a number of year.-, thorough lime-sulphur spraying has been practiced for a number of years, trees once bndly infested were com pletely free from infestation. Tho complete control of wooly aphis nnd , green aphis will require summer snraying with soluble oils, kerosene emulsions, or tobacco black-leaf. This will bo taken up in a future bul letin. Hed spider is most enily con trolled during die summer by tho u-.e of dry sulphur, and is not consid ered hero as a serious pest. Tho pench twig borer, or peach moth, has not been very .serious in this dis trict, and while it may be controlled with lime-sulphur, iuenato of lead is now used effectively as 'a spray during tho growing season. Apple mildew ' inhy also be controlled by thorough spraying with the limo sulphur iron sulphate mixture as pre viously noted in this bulletin; the time for application being the same as that for San Jose scale. However, completo control often requires nn- CENTRAL POINT ITEMS Miss Marguerlto Holmes return- ed to Woodvllle Monday morning. , Miss Eva Denthe who is teaching school on Griffin Crook camo to, spend n day or so with hor frload Mrs. Woolverton.

Mr. and Mrs. George Fox and S. SENATE TO PROBE ' BETRAYAL OF SEGRETS Wl WASHINGTON, D. C Feb. 2S. -By the passing iu tho son- nto of resolution offered by Senator! Lafollotlo the state nnd naw department must rejiort to that body whether naval net-rets wore re voalod to tho Argentine Kopubliv a an inducement to place with Awefi ettii concerns contractu for the build iiiL of two battle-hips. The riM.iu- tiuu aflViiin tbt- !uU dfii.irtuiiv.t Our Correspondents other application after the trees have bloomed or when the first codling moth spray (arsenate of lend) is used. The two arc mixed together without injury or without either one breaking down. The lime-sulphur spray in the spring'of the year docs not control the peach blight or apple anthracnose and, therefore, should never be applied with that end i'i view. As has been previously stated, it sometimes happens that the spraying cannot be done in the fall, and a considerable amount of nifeo tion-mnv take place during the win ter. In the case of anthracnose of tho apple no further damage, or in jury, will be done by the fungus af ter the growing season commences. However, in the case of the peach blight, or peach spot disease, the infection on the twigs may pass over onto tho fruit and produce a dis eased condition, making the fruit un salable. While weak solutions have been used .successfully during certain seasons in the control of this disease, it has also happened that both the fo liage and the fruit were badly dam aged by the lime-sulphur. It is therefore, recommended that the self boiled 8-S-."iO formula, given else where in this bulletin, be used. The time of application will vnry some what with the season. Generally ir the amount of infection on the true is not grent, a single application about tho first week in May, will ef fectively control the disense; on the other hand, if weather conditions have been favorable to the growth of the fungus (rainy, foggy spells) two more applications may be necessary, tho second coming toward the latter part of May, and the third about the first week in June. These are only tentative dates, and should not be iollowed absolutely. Always remem ber Hint summer spraying demands 'very closo attention to weather condi tions. To those who hnve rend the pre ceding pages carefully it will be seen that particular stress has been la'd upon the prevention of infection and infestation by fungi and insect pests. In the case of the fungi, it is always prevention that must be understood. Once the parasitic organism gains a foothold, no external application will prove effective for tho particular in fection. A peach fruit once spotted by tho peach spot fungus cannot be cured. The fruit is lost so far as its market value is concerned. A leaf of an apple tree once mildewed can ont be cured. Theiufection might hnve been prevented. In the case of insect pests, the idea of spraying should be to prevent infestation rather than the killing of insects al ready on the tree. Of course, we kill insects already there, but tho most important result is the preven tion of further infestation. Very often a fruit grower will say, "What is the need of spraying, my trees are perfectly clean?" The answer is, "That in the Very reason why you should spray." If we could get everyone to spray regularly and sci entifically, there would be Cower cull fruits, wormy fruits, "scaly fruits, etc., which are always a dead loss to the grower and a poor advertise ment for anv district.
