SPRAYING OF FRUIT PAYS MORE THAN COSTS SAYS.0.A.C. Most Practical Fruit Growers of Oregon Are Now Busy With Calyx Spray u COSTS 30 CENTS A TREE Directions for Making and Applying the Solution Are Issued by College 3 Falling apple blooms remind pract ical and successful fruit men of Ore gon that It is time to put on tho third spray ot the year's spraying program tho calyx spray. It Is so-called be cause it Is applied while the blossoms are falling and Just beforo the calyx closes, as a measure of protecting apples and pears against scab, and apples against codling moth. The spray is a llmo-sulfur solution, mixed at the rate of 1-40, to which Is added lead arsenate paste at the rate of 4-100 for the apple spray. If mil dew is present iron sulfide at the rate of 10-100 Is added. The solution Is thoroughly agitated as It is applied to cover both sides of every leaf and blossom on the tree. For large or chards a power sprayer is used but Sfor a few trees a good barrel sprayer will do good work if great care la used. The cosa ot putting on every spray essential to a good crop does not ex ceed 15 cents a box thirty cents per tree. Both tho quality and quantity of the fruit crop are improved by spraying, and much fruit Is added to tho commercial' output. Full direc tions for mfxing and applying the spray may be had by writing to tho Agricul tural College for a copy of Extension Bulletin 193, Spraying Apples and Pears.
