OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallls. 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.
