Endorses Spray Formula for "Brown Rot" Given by Federal Experts Last Saturday the Capital Journal printed the C. S. government's hulletiii on spraying for ' ' brown rot " of prunes and cherries, with the formula therefor. This is reprinted as follows: In spraviiif, self-boiled lime-sulphur 8-8-50 and Bordeaux mixture 4 4-50 have both given good results,.! but the former has seemed somewhat more sat isfactory. Two pounds of resin-'f ishoil soap should be used to each 50 gallons of the mixture. Where this soap can not be readily obtained, it may be made up as follows: "Kesiit pounds Potash lye, such as is sold for washing purposes ...... 1 pound Fishoil 1 pint Water 5 gallons "The resiii is dissolved in tho oil by heating in a large, kettle.

The second just After the petals have fallen. The third when the husks have fall en rr.i a it. ..I 1. f ..-nlf hn... therefore no results were omaincn on the effect of spraving upon the bios- som infections. The nrnwn-rot at the canneries and in storage, however, wai greatly reduced by late applications of Bordeaux mixture and self-boiled lime sulphur. With the Royal Anne cherries better results were secured with Bor deaux mixture than with the self-boiled lime-sulphur. "It seems phnbablo that a treatment for cherries similar to that outlined !r prunes would give satisfactory control of both the blossom infection nnd the later brown-rut attacks on the fruit. ' ' Several local fruitgrower" called at. the f'npital Journal office this week and stilted that they were ut a loss to know what to do, since the formula recommended by the government nnd that of the Oregon Agricultural col lege differed in some material respects To clear this point the Capital Journal put the question up to the school of agriculture and experiment station at the O. A. C. receiving the following reply: Oregon Agricultural College, Corvallis, Ore.. March IB, lltlrt. Mr. Hiss. If. Fisher, , Tim Capital Journal, Malcm, Oregon. I would say that although the recom mendations Issued in tho clipping which you inclosed in your letter of March 13 are not like those which were issued in previous publications from the col lege, they are in accord with the recom mendations which are being issued in a sprnying circular which is now on the press, I would say that this college has never tested out tho use of self -boiled lime sulphur with sticker and did not recommend self boiled limo sulphur alone, nccause of its poor adhering finalities. If tho government tests re port success with this material with sticker added, I would be inclined to consider it 3 safe spray material to use.

If the ordinary lime-sulphur is used as a substitute for Bordeaux, or self boiled lime sulfur, it should bo used, after blossoming time, very weak, about 1 to 50, and should not be combined with a sticker because of the chemical changes which will occur. There is a slight tendency to spray burn where lime sulfur is used in strengths ordinar ily recommended for tipple scab, but is recommended in the strength which ) have mentioned for use on prunes in the eastern Cnitcil States. The growers will be, 1 think, entirely sa'fe in adopting the recommendation's of the government. This is certainly true if they can use Bordeaux mixture.

The article evidently intended to enn vev the information that office holders may act as notaries, but for some un known reason many people have mis construed the article and have taken it to mean th.it office holders cannot properly net as notaries public.
