that scab has been prevalent for the
last two years; '
I'cnr Scab
Only a few poor orchards In tho

scab and usually Winter Nells have
suffered tho most, and tho Nells are
In Just about the propoV stage for
what is known as tbO "pink applica

this tlmo use lime sulphur, one to

are In full bloom, but It will do no

AphU Hprny .
It you havo been troubled wltb
Aphis In tho past , season and have
not applied tbo dormant spray, now
Is a good time to add Nicotine Sul
phate to tho "pink sprny" at the rate
of a pint of nicotine to a hundred
gallons of sprny, .It will bo very
difficult to -control aphis after they

snvo money by spraying for them at
