OIL IN NOVEMBER
1 The advent of lubrlcatln oil
emulsion for the San Jose scale in
orchards was hailed as m great
boon by thousands of fruit grow
ers. No longer wOuld it be necei-
sarj to use the unpleasant and
caustic lime-sulphur solution. The
oil would do the work' to the great
satisfaction of the laborers as well
as the owner. As a result grow
ers discontinued ‘ the late-spring
application of lime-sulphur and
replaced it with oil. The scale
'* was eatisfacto
as ImT curl,
.was found in going back
to the IJmc-aulphur in the late
spring and in using the oil in No
