.1. The uao of lime-sulphur as nn
insuctlcldo dates from tho year 1854,
and was first proposed by John Ituth
orford, New South Wales, Australia.
Its first us was that "of shcop dip,
and for a number of years was used
throughout the shocp growing dis
tricts of tho world for eradicating the
sheep scab.
L. Lime-sulphur was first used as
an insecticide on fruit trocs In 1SSG
ly Mr. P. Dusoy, of Prcano, California
who experimented with a shoop dip
prepnrcd by n Mr. A. T. Covell. Tho
San Jose scalo was tho Insect which
It was attempted to eradicate. This
spray was not used In tho eastern
Btatcs until about 1894; its uso, how.
ovor, ns a Bcallclde, generally used
ovor the country, dates nbout 1000,
nlthough It had been successfully
used on tho Pacific Coast almost from
tho date of Its discovery as an Insec
ticide. 3. Sulphur In combination, with
lima was Known to hnvo fungicidal
properties as early as 1833. It was
recommended by Dr. William Ken
rlak nt this oarly dato as a remedy
for mildew of tho grape. In 188C,Jwno0 Hhould bo strained Into tho
William Saunders also recommended
lime-sulphur as a fungicide, but his
recommendations, as well no earlier
ones, wore forgotten until about 1901
whan Mr. W. M. Scott, of tho depart
ment of ngrlculturo, took It up as a
remedy for tho brown rot of the
peach. In 1001, Mr. M. U. Walto,
also of tho doparfmont of agricul
ture, recommended It as a provontlve
treat mont for tho peach blight or
shot bolo disease of tho peach, aprl-
cot, almond and plum. Tho uso of jno in Konernl uso, but to bo ablo to
