Spraying Demonstrations Attend ed by Many fruitgrowers WALTER BROWN IN ATTENDANCE In a Brief folk Mr. Brown Advises the fruit growers Regarding Best Kind of Spray for fighting Brown Rot Many complalnls having conic in to thu culIi'KH in previous yeaia con ri'i nlng Uh! (h-Hi ruction of atone Iruils, cspecinlly t ho prune, by tin; liiseuso called brown rot. it was ihuiiKlit best by thn Horticultural Ht-ji;ulnient of the Kxtension .Service In obtain two orrhanlH of prune trees in the vicinity of HoncburK for dein (.nstralion purjioWH. The blocks of ireeH chosen for thin work wero lo cated in the orchunln of I,. II. Skin ner ami Hons and Dr. (iuoriiu A. Itnidburn, botli of Wlnstons. Kach lot contained something over two acres of prune trees In full bearing. The object of the demonstration was ilie control of brown rot In ways suited to orchard practice. Although I his has not been a year of heavy brown rot infection, tilili the coiu paialivo results between sprayed and unsprayed trees have been gratify ing At a meeting of fruitgrowers which wan held In the orchard or L. It. .Skinner and Sons at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning, September Hi, I'rolessor V. S. Itrown. Field Horti culturist from the I'ollegn of Agri culture, was In charge. Mr. Hrown has bad tin? supervision of these litMiionst nil ions duriim t ho km miner and has been ably assisted by the cuiinty fruit ins)ector, Kroil L. Strang, togtdhur with thn owmsrs of the orchard tracts spray'1'. At the meeting Mr. Mrowu gave a sliort I, ilk In which ho outlined the pur pose of the demonstration, theli look tip Ihe nalure of the disease, together with the means of Its-control. lie explained 1o the growers (hat brown rot is a fungus disease, spread by means of two kinds of spores or fruiting bodies. Tbo first kind of spores are summer spores, and these spread tile trouble during (tie sum mer, from branch to branch in the I rees, either by being washed from one prune to the other by the ruin or by being, .blown about in drf weather, and subsequently germinat ing when the raliiB come on. The M'cnml class of spores are called the holdover spores. These holdover spores are borne on little toadstools which come up through the ground, Mi'owlng 1'ro'm old mummied prune thai, have been buried in Ihe ground. Tin1 inn m in led prunes which fell to the ground in Ihe (nil of I !' I ." will .etol up a crop of these toadstools in th. spring of I'M 7. so that simp ly because there is a light infection if brown rot I his year there Is no reason to expect that it will not he heavy next year. In fact, an the Infection of 1 !i i ."i was quite severe, Ihere is every reason 1o suppose that then, will he many toadstools com ing up through (lie ground next spring. This spring when tho first dcnionsdatiniis were made In the or chard of l,. U. Skinner and Sons, thousands of toadstools were 1hru tlip ground ready to send out their spores at blossoming time. .M r. Hrown nienl iom-d t wo get euil was of controlling the disease: Inst, through such ouhard practices as early plowing, so as to destroy the little toadstools held re they have a chance to send out Iheir spores. An other nood orchard practice Is to 'hake mi all mummied fruits In the fall, and turn in hogs. The hogs like the ndtetl fiuil and the seeds as well, au will make a vim y thor ough job nf leaning up the mum niiis. in (he second place spraMtm 4, hi he used to control brown rol A sprav must be used which is a tec i utilized lui.Kicldo, The ordinary sprajs tor this purpose are Itonleaux mixtuie. an.

However, the proper pray mav he applied at the proper time and till not have successful control unless the work has been done in a very thorough way. This is whet,, niom fruit growers fall down than in any other phase of the spraing ame They think they are thorough, hut they really do not cover the f i nil as they should. In spiavlng prunes successfully it Is absolutely neces sary that there be an elbow near the nozzle ho that the nozzle may be turned at different angles while in the tree mid that the spray Jimy be directed from the Inside of the tree so as to get underneath the flat prune leaves. In this way the fruit that often hangs in heavy clusters can he protected. Now, as to results obtained in the Skinner and Bradford orchards. It was found by an u'tual count of the brown rotted prunes on trees that had been sprayed compared with others In the check plots that had not been sprayed, that in the Skin ner orchard there were over six times as many brown rotted prunes on the check 'plot trees as there were ui t he sprayed trees; und in the Mradourn orchard the ratio was .lomcthinK li ke one to thirty or thirty five. This means that in the Mrailhurn orchard the prunes were almost absolutely free from brown rot in the section which had been thoroughly sprayed, 'I lie? cost of spraying the Skinner orch-rd, including material and la bor, amounted to about $:!() an acre, for fi. it api aylng:i. 1 1 must he borne in mind, however, that the :-opper sulfate or hi ties tone is used in the making of Bordeaux mixture, iml is very much higher than ordi nary Ibis year on account of the war. With the usual prices of blue stone tills spraying could have been done at about half t ho cost. Next year these spraying demon strations may he repeated in some of i he prune orchards in the vicinity of Koscburg. While In case of a tight Infection of brown rot, the cost of spraying may not seem to be war ranted, if the infection is heavy, this spraying may mean tho difference between a good crop with good prof its and no crop at all.
