C. P. Gillette, and V. P. Tnylr of

4. Applo Anthracnoso (Oloeospor-

The Peach Blight and tho Apple
Anthracnoso tire not so avdII con
trolled by limo-snlphur as by Bor
deaux mixture, and for this valley,
where infection is considered serious
through lack of previous year's
spraying, lime-sulphur i never rcco
mended. In the ciihe of Peach Blinh
where the fruit is liable to hcron.r
infected, it is to be understood tint
the self-boiled lime-sulphur mixture
is the one recommended.
Since we consider, for this valley,
lime-sulphur as a dormant spray to
be applied to the trees as late as
possible in the spring before the
buds begin to open, and at that time

extent, the place of Bordeaux l.tixturei
as a fungicide. Of course, it nasi
its limitations, and it niiis; be used I
with considerable caution as to not
to cause injury to deticat.3 foliage.
In the Rogue Hiver Valley, the mat
ter of foliage injury need scarcely
concern us as our climatic conditions
are so favorable that apples and
pears have no summer fniuroiis di

of the bulletins which give direction
for the use of limo-snlphur as an in

the fungous diseases outside of thw
district which may be controlled with
lime-sulphur, since this bulletin i

ers of the Rogue Hiver Valey.
Incest Pests Controlled by Linte-Sulphur.
The insect pests of the Rogue River
Valley controlled by lime-sulphur are

The Red Spider and tho Blistoi
Mite are not true insects. They are
near relatives of the insects and be

should not only control Iho San .Tos
scale, but the Retl Spider nnd tin
Blister Mite; in the peaches, 'hesid"
tho San-Jose scale, we should con
trol the Poach Loaf Curl and the
Peach Twig Borer or Peach Moth
We havo seen that by the additiot
of the iron sulphate to the lime sul
phur, we may also control tho apph
mildew. As a rule, tho San Jose scab
can bo controlled by a much weak"'
solution of lime sulphur than can thr
wooly aphis or green apple aphis
The same may be said as regards tin
control of tho peach twig borer, b
comparison with the San Jose scale
Tho proper procedure will be, there
fore, to use a spray of sufficient den
sity o control, in so fur as possible
the insect pests which nro tho hard

Tabic for Diluting Lime-Sulphur So

In the following table the dilutions

ity. This is in accordance with the
best practice throughout Iho country,
nnd while it may bo considered that
the solution as applied to the trees is
very strong, it is by no means so for
the aphides or even for very bad
scale infestation. If trees are dor
