Earle Jossy, County Club Agent ft? Berry Spraying Is Advised Now Youngberries and boysenber ries should be sprayed now for control of leaf and cane spot and scale. A mixture of one quart of liquid lime sulphur or one pound dry lime surphur to three gallons of water should be used The leaf and cane spot dis ease results in the dead areas that are commonly seen on berry canes. These dead areas reduce the vigor of the plants to such an extent that fewer and smaller berries are produced. In severe cases the canes may die before the crop has ripened., The scale appears as small white spots on the lower parts of canes. This is generally not very serious, but occasionally a heavy infestation builds up. This same spray applied to blackberry plants after the new shoots are about four Inches long will control the red berry dis ease. Roses and grape vines that are troubled with mildew would be benefited by the spray, but it should be followed by sulphur dusts during the growing sea son. Do not get lime sulphur on painted buildings as it turns paint black. C. B. Cordy, Assistant County Agent. 4-Hers Produce Food for Many During 1944 20 Jackson county 4-H club members pro duced enough food of one kind or another to equal the entire food needs of at least one fight ing man for one year.
