Apple growers are advised to take special precautions Immediately against anthracnose cankers, by Prof. H. P. Barss, plant pathologist at the college. "Whereever apple tree anthrac nose has got a start the trees should be sprayed Just as soon as It Is pos sible to get Into the orchard. If there is no trult to consider, as In case of young orchards, spray with Bordeauxx 4-4-50. If there Is fruit, especially dark colored fruit, where the Bordeux would cause mottling or uneven coloring due to the density ot tbe deposit, the grower can apply Burgundy mixture 2-3-100." Where this early application Is made another spraying ought also to be given in early November, points out Prof. Barss. The fruit will be off by that time in most sections and the full winter strength of Bordeux can be used as a long-time protec tion 6-6-60. A pound or two ot fish oil or whale oil soap dissolved and added to every 50 gallons ot spray will aid materlully in making the Bordeaux or Burgundy spread and cover even ly which will also result In a savin; In material while increasing the ef ficiency of the spray.
