' Apple scab, a fungous disease that
attacks the foilage and fruit of the
appletree, made its appearance in Un
ion county several years ago but has
never caused serious damage until
recent years. It has gradually spread
over the county, until at the present
time its serious effects can be noticed
1 in almost every apple growing dis
trict of the Grand Ronde valley .
Apple scab is recognized as the
most serious and most generally dis
tributed fungous disease of the apple
known, and is particularly severe in
many of the apple districts of the
northwest. And on this account we
deem it advisable at this time to issue
a word of warning to the apple grow
ers of the Grand Ronde valley. Upon
investigation it is learned that many
of the growers have had little if an-
experience in regard to scab con-
1 trol by means of spraying.
Last season, by mutual consent of
the various selling agencies or organ
izations of Oregon, apples slightly in
fected with scab were permitted to be
shipped outside the state, but such
practice, if attempted this season, will
cause havoc with the apple industry
of Oregon for this reason: Growers
of other apple districts in other states
feel that such practice is an injustice
and a gross discrimination against
their respective districts, and have
threatened to quarantine the Oregon
apple. If the quarantine is establish
ed I will not undertake to furnish
figures indicative of the loss that will
be sustained by the Oregon growers.
And futhermore, the warning has
been issued by the State Board of
prevention of scab when trees aie
dormant unless scale and other in
sects are serious, save dormant spray
and follow above directions.
Horticulture that scab infected fruit
shall not be nermitted on the market
or prepared for -shipment out of the
state or to various points within the
state. Therefore it behooves the fruit
grower, who expects to dispose of his
crop, outside of the cannery or evap
orator, to take steps now, to prevent
this troublesome disease.
Treatment.
The method of treatment must be
preventive rather than curative. For
merly, bordeaux mixture, (bluestone
and lime) a fungicide was used al
most exclusively as a preventive of
scab, but its use has been supplanted
to a greater or less extent by lime
sulphur solution, on account of the
russeting. of the fruit by bordeaux,
which was considered almost as det
rimental as scab. There should be two
and preferably three, applications.
First, should be made when the blos
som buds separate in the cluster, and
show a good pink color. Use either
bordeaux or lime a sulphur for the
first spray. If bordeaux is desired,
use four lbs bluestone, four lbs lime,
to fifty gallons of water. If lime sul
phur is used, taken the standard
stock solution (30 degrees baume) di
lute one nart to 30 parts water, with
either mixture or solution, be sure 10
cover trees thoroughly.
Second application: Use lim sul
phur, diluted 1 to 35 and add two lb?,
arsenate of lead to fifty gallon of
diluted solution. Appl yas for calyx
spray for codling moth. This is known
as combination spray for scab and
moth.
Third application: Use same ma
terial as second spray, and apply as
second codling moth spray.
Note: It is useless to spray for

dozen other specie of wild animals all
trying to get to the water hole at

unquestionably new in filmdom. Close
