It is declared that nearly all dealers report a shortage, al though some anticipated a scarcity and ordered large quantities early in the season. Horticultural papers in Cali iorma say that it is almost lm possible to procure copper sulpate there, and growers are planning to use something else that will serve the purpose nearly as well. Not only will growers have difficulty in securing this essent lal of Bordeaux mixture, but those who do get it will find it more costly than in previous years. Last year growers in vicinities paid seven cents a pound for copper sulphate. This year the price is already t.2 cents a pound and may gj higher when the buying begins. Graham-Witham.
