MAKE PLEA FOR
CLEANER FRUIT
Denney & company, which has
contracted for an enormous quan
tity of black cherries In this mo
tion nnd all of the cherry (flowing
districts of tho valley, is launch
ing ft campaign to K'.'t a clean eher
ry for hltment. In a circular is
sued to all growers of chcrrUn, a
forerunner of other clrculaia tin
company promises in connection
with the cherry deal, it urge care
ful work In control of tho hrovn
rot and the cherry maggot, in .r
der to place the Willamette valley
cherry where it bel.tngs in the
cherry markets of the country.
The circular follows:
'Denney & company has con
tracted to pack and ship a lttrit
tonnage of Hings and L.imlieit
from the Willamette valley. It
will be to the Interests of both
tho growers and shipper that the
cherries be of the highest possible
quality and free from such pest
and fungul as are within tho con
trol of the Binwr. To nwdnt the
grower in following a unlfor n
orchurt practice for the elimina
tion of tho mala troubles, cherry
maggot, synetu beello and brown
rot, Denney company will Issue
timely circulars covering tho best
known control practice ns sug
gested by the authorities at the
Oregon Agricultural college. Karl
Pearcy of Solcm, formerly county
fruit inspector of Douglas county,
and a well-known authority on
pest control will be at the service
of the growers shipping through
this company and growers may
write or call on him fur assistance
at any time.
"The cherry maggot, cherry slug
shot hole fungus and the syueta
beetle are completely within the
control of the grower through
well-timed spray prneMees. The
last named h:w proved trouble
some In some orchards however
and must be handled vigoroiutty
whero It h is become entrenched
In a particular orchar.l. Instruc
tions on the control of the cherry
maggot will be Issued later as no
spraying Is dono until the fruit Is
nearly ripe. The chirry slug i.t
easily handled by an apoleailin
of 2 pounds of lead arsenate to
100 gallons of watr with the ad
dition of some spreading material
such, as kayso, spreado, etc. This
should be applied whenever the
slug appears on the leaves. It is
only occjMomi'lv that this pest
damages eher riot. I
"Itrown rc t - i his fungus liven
over tho winter in mummied cher
ries burled near the surface of tin
grcund under the trees. An Infec
tion takes plate at bloKSom time,
enuring so-called blossom Might,
and later, if the weather condi
tions nr- favonhle, he rot taken
hold of the fruit, enpeclally ot har
vest time, although in bad seasons
the green fruit is attacked. Cher
ry orchards should he plowed early
In advance of blossoming, and
frequent harrowing should take
place during the bloom season to
disturb the soil mummies and pre
vent the spreading of tho brown
rot spores. Light crops are often
the result of blossom blight due
lartly to nVlavcd cultivation.
"Spraying A dormant applica
tion of lime sulphur, now, 12 gal
lons of lime sulphur to 100 gallons
of water or 1 to 8, will clean up
the trees of moss, II :hens and
scale. Thla spray has no great ef
fect on brown rot unless delayed
almost to bloMSom time. If thts is
dome, the application should be
thinned down to 1 to 26 and ap
plied Just before the blossoms op
. en, or use Bordeaux 4-4-50 with a
spreader. In most orchards it
would pay tu make either the dor
mant application or this blossom
blight appllaction, although many
orchards require neither. However,
it la now almost too late for the
dormant spray In the bulem dis
trict. "The mo it Important single ap
plication for the control of brown
rot la made about J to 4 weeks
before harvest This will be cov
ered In a later circular Do not
lelay cultivation In any event.
Send for extension bulletin 3&0 on
orchard spr.iy program for Ore
gon. rile the Oregon Experi
ment Station, CorvallU, Oregon. It
Is free.
"We believe the spray programs
should be carried out very care
fully, as the growers shipping wilh
us, or any other firm, are vitally
interested in their chevrls carry
ing to markets in firtt-clasa con
dition, as thin is the inltl-il step of
putting the Willamette cherry on
the map."
