SOME SUGGESTIONS
FOR SPRAYING TREES
ROOCB KIVKR CUPRIBK. GIANTS PASS, OREGON, DECEMBER 21, 1906.
I rult Inspector of Marlon County
Ihui Bulletin to Fruit
Growers.
E. O. Armstrong, fruit Inspector for
Marion county, hat issued a circular
which gives in condensed form moch
practical information desired by frnit
growers. Tbis circular will do muoh
toward induoing the growers to spray,
for it tells them how to prepare for
tha work. The text of the ciroular
follows:
. Formula for the Winter spray: 15
pounds of nnslacked lime, 15 pounds
of pulverized sulphsr, 60 gallons of
water.
Get some kind of a vessel in which
yon can cock 20 gallons. A pood
cheap rat Is made by using wooden
sides and ends and sheet-iron bottom.
Or wooden sides with sheet-iron bot
Jom and ends. Have the wooden part
one and one-half or two inches thick,
,('and have the sheet iron bottom ex
tended two inches past the sides.
Put in the Tat 15 or 20 gallons of
water. Heat it to near the boiling
Point Put in the 15 pounds of lime
aud stir it a little with a paddle or
boe to keep it from burning. Add
the 15 pounds of sulphur, and boil
hard for at least an hour. A longer
time would be better. When it is
done the dry sulphur will all be dis
solved, and the material will have al
most a blood-red appearanoe. Strain
this thoroughly when it is put into
the barrel so no sediment -will clog
me nozzle wtile spraying. Add
enough water to make 60 gallons.
Use wbile warm.
Yon cannot cook the material too
much. One hour bard boiling is
worth more than two hours simmer
ing. It won Id be well to keep the
Tat covered while boiling.
The liquid will not spoil if it can
not be used for a few days after being
cooked. But it is better to use it
while fresh.
Use a nozzle that can easily be
cleaned. Do not spray while it is
raining or while the trees are wet
with fog.
Use only the spray formulas recom
mended by the State Board of Horti
cult ore. Tney have been tested by
the different state experimen t stations
and by the GoTernment authorities,
and only the best are lecommeoded.
So do not try experiments, it costs
too much and you will accomplish
nothing.
The lime and tulphnr spray is
equally as good as a fungicide as an
insecticide.
Some of the worst things we have
to contend with are fungus disease.
The Winter spray will do more to
eradicate them than anything else
von can da
The old orchard should be thorough
ly pruned and all worthless trees
taken out and burned before the spray
ing is done. ,
In pruning the old neglected trees
it is not a question of scientific purn
ing so much as getting the trees in
shape so they can b sprayed.
The spray would be more effective
on the old trees if the rough bark and
the thickest of the moss wak scraped
off.
The Winter spray will affect the
codling moth but little, if auy.
Toung orchards that seem to be per-
feclty clesn mould oe sprayeu
ill act as a tooio to the tree.
preventive is pretter than a cnre.
All the old orchards are infected
with insects and fnngus disease.
Do not wait for the inspector to
come and condemn them. Go at them
now.
In all your work it pays to be
thorough.
Be careful about using prepared
sprays. Some of them are worthless,
and all of them are expensive.
A, high pressure is neossary for
good spraying. Yon want spray not a
a sprinkler.
The oost cannot well be given as
that varies so much with different
conditions. Do not expect much from
one spraying. It took some of the
trees a Jons time to get in the condi
tion they are now in.
Do not take the advice of everyone
who may happen to can. Follow the
instructions of the State Horticultural
Board.
' These instructions and ausffeetions
are only for cleaning the trees while
they are dormant instructions for
the Summer spray will be given later.

well to eschew the glandular organs.
such as sweet breads and liver; to pin
their faith to mutton and one or two
kinds of fish ; to give np coffee and
drink weak China tea. Thoce who
wish to go further should reflect first,
that man is neither carnivorous nor
herbivorous. For long scientists have
obscored tbe view by useless argu
ments as to whether or not a man was
meant to I've like a cow.
There are other species than the
flesb and grass-eating animals; all
students of comparative anatomy
know now that the teetb of human
beings are identical with those of the
frugivorous apes who live on fruits
and nuts. Not only so, bit the pro
portion of bowel length to body
length in man corresponds exactly
with that in tbe same species, in
marked contrast to what obtains in all
carnivorous animals, where the
bowel is proportionally short
A study of anatomy, therefore sug
gests a frnit diet as tbe most suitable,
further confirmation in afforded by !
the obvions predilection of nearly all
children for so oh food. T' e beBt
frnit for food are apples, bananas,
grapes, nuts, dates, raisins and figs.
Nuts are especially valuable, owing
to tbe large amount of fat they con
tain ; the old-fasbiooed idea that they
are indigestible is due partly to the
error in taking tbem at tbe end of an
already more than ample meat meaL
and partly to insufficient mastication.
Chestnus are the easiest to digest and
make an excellent food. Many other
fruits may be taken, always remem
bering that stone fruits sometimes
disagree, and that acid fruits shonld
be taken in moderation. Strawberries
contain a considerable amount of
purlns, and shonld be avoided by all
with a gouty or rheumatic tendency.
Among fruit, we include those of the
cereals, such as Wieat and rice.
White bread is free from purin, but
brown contains a varying amount de
rived from the busk. Tbe most
wholesome form of bread is unleavened.
