Peaches and apricots should
be sprayed in the late pink bud
stage with an 8-8-100 bordeaux
mixture for control' of blossom
blight and fruit spot, it was an
nounced today by the county
agent's office. "If blossom blight
has been severe repeat this bor

annoucement said, adding:
'Tor control of worms in the
fruit add four pounds of basic
arsenate of lead per 100 gallons.
"For aphis control use any ma
terial available such as nicotine
sulfate, rotenone or Loro. Roten
one and Loro have not been used
extensively enough locally on
peaches to be sure of control or
freedom from Injury. Their use
would seem desirable in prefer
ence to aphis attack."
