TREATMENT OF PEACH LEAF
CURL.
(By W. M. Scott, State Entomologist).
Peach leaf curl is a disease which
Appears in our orchards In early
spring, causing the young and tender
foliage to thicken, curl and finally
drop. Although it may occasionally
be seen on the twigs, its attacks are
confined principally to the leaves.
In the early part of the summer all
the affected leaves are shed and noth
ing more is seen of the disease until
the following spring. When an or
chard is but slightly affected, anew
crop of leaves is quickly produced and
the damage is slight; but when, as fre
quently happens, the greater part of
the foliage is involved, the tree is im
poverished, the present crop of fruit
destroyed, and future crops affected.
. Prevention by Spraying.
Few fungus diseases affecting cul
tivated plants have proven more eas
ily or surely prevented than the Leaf
Curl of the peach. It has been demon,
strated beyond question that even
the worst affected orchards may, by
proper spraying at the right season,
be practically freed of the pest, and
with a single application of the treat
ment. Numerous fungicides have
been used and recommended, but of
them all the safest and most effective
has proven to be the Bordeaux mix
ture. This should be applied in late
winter or early spring. After the buds
have become swollen the germs of the
fungus begin to penetrate the tissues
and the treatment is therefore less
effective, so that it is necessary to
begin spraying in time to finish at
least two weeks before the trees are
likely to bloom. A little later when
the young leaves have begun to push
out and the evidences of the disease
become apparent, it is altogether too
late, and a spraying, so far as the
leaf curl is concerned, would be a
waste of labor and material.
It is very important in spraying for
this disease that every part of the
tree be reached by the Bordeaux or
other mixture used, for if a limb or a
portion of a limb be missed the fungus
will develop upon It, and thus tend
to re-infect to some degree the rest
of the tree.
Formula and Directions.
Bordeaux is composed of a mix
ture of the diluted solutions of lime
and bluestone and may be prepared
from the following formula:
6 pounds fresh, unslaked lime.
5 pounds bluestone (sulphate of cop
per).
50 gallons of water.
As much as six pounds of bluestone
and an equal quantity of lime may be
employed with safety and perhaps
advantageously in some cases. How
ever, when it is desired to use Bor
deaux for brown rot or other diseases
after the foliage is out, the quantity
of bluestone should be reduced to 3
pounds and that of lime increased to
nine pounds, because of the injurious
effect that strong Bordeaux has upon
peach foliage.
Slake the lime carefully with just
enough water to reduce it to the con
sistency of thick cream and dilute to
25 gallons: dissolve the bluestone in
25 gallons of water also. Then in a
separate barrel mix the two solutions,
first pouring in a bucket of one and
then a bucket of the other, or better
still, pouring then in simultaneously.
After thoroughly stirring the mixture
and allowing it to stand for a few mo
ments it is ready to be strained into
the spray pump tank.
When thus prepared, Bordeaux is
at its best, consisting of a fine floc
ulent, pale blue precipitate suspended
in the water. If either or both of the
ingredients should be in concentrated
solution when the mixing is done the
resulting Bordeaux in coarser grain
ed, settles much more quickly and is
less effective as a spray. Even the
best will begin to settle quickly on
standing, and it is essential that the
spray pump be supplied with an agi
tator that will keep it stirred in the
act of pumping.
The bluestone may be gotten into
solution more quickly and readily by
suspending it in the corner of a fer
tilizer sack just below ’the surface of
the water, or by the use of a small
quantity of hot water.
When a considerable amount of
spraying is to be done, it will be
found convenient to prepare stock so
lutions by dissolving 25 pounds or 50
pounds of bluestone in an equal num
ber of gallons of water, while a like
amount of lime is slaked and diluted
to a similar volume. Then by dipping
out five gallons of either solution it
will be seen that an equal number
of pounds of lime and bluestone will
be secured, and the separate weighing
and dissolving of the small lots be
avoided. The two ingredients should
never he mixed unless diluted as
fore described.
SOUTHERN PROGRESS.
Thngs of Which Every Southern Man
Should Be Proud.
The Manufacturers’ Record of Bal
timore, in reviewing the evidences of
Southern progress during the past
year, including Investments of more
than $50,000,000 in building new rail
road mileage and of more than $20,-
000,000 in cotton mills, says: “To
fully grasp the progress of the South,
we should have to study the change
which has come about by which the
Southern factory is not only beginning
to supply the needs of the aouth, but
is bidding for foreign trade; we should
have to measure the influence on the
woodworking industry of the phenom
enal success of the furniture factories
of North Carolina, which are captur-

" U women would pay more attention to
their health we would have more happy
wives, mothers and daughters, and if they
would observe results they would find
that the doctors' prescriptions do not

credit for.
" In consulting with mv druggist he ad- B
vised McElree's Wine of Cardui and Thed
ford’s Black-Draught, and so I took it and
have every reason to thank him for anew
life opened up to me with restored health,
and it only took three months to cure me.”
Wine of Cardui is a regulator of the
menstrual functions and is l most as- J
tonishing tonic for women. It cures
scanty, suppressed, too frequent, irreg
ular and painful menstruation, falling
of the womb, whites and flooding. It
is helpful -when approaching woman

birth and in change of life. It fre

ing the trade of this country as Tar as
the Pacific eoast and the foreign trade
out to South Africa; we should have
to note the rapid development of in
dustries to consume at home the pig
iron for which we have heretofore had
to find a market elsewhere —the steel
rail mill at Ensley, the steel car works
to be built in Alabama, the success of
the steel wire operations which has
resulted in the plans for building the
$5,000,000 plant mentioned as to be
constructed at Gadsden; we should
have to measure the power of the new
combination of cotton mills, which will
turn into this section a great amount
of textile interests; we should have
to note the progress of the great ship
building plant at Newport News, with
contracts on band sufficient to supply
its 7,000 or 8,000 men for the next
three year*; we should have to take
into account the great developments
at southern ports in terminal facilities
and the growth of the exports through
Southern ports now reaching to over
$500,000,000 a year or about 35 per
cent of the total exports of the coun
try. To all of these we
should have to add the most vi
tal fact, namely, the accumulated
capital and the accumulated experi
ence which the South now has as
compared with the lack of capital
and the lack of experience of five or
ten years ago, and thus be able to form
a better idea of how greatly this will
count in bringing about a rate of prog
ress far surpassing all that has been
seen in the last ten years.’’
The Manufacturers’ Record review
of railroad construction during the
year shows a total new mileage in tne
Southern States, and in Missouri, In
dian Territory and Oklahoma, whose
railroad systems are directly connect
ed with Southern development, of
4,099.4. It also shows that, at least
5,157.8 miles of line will be construct
ed in these states and territories dur
ing the coming year. The following
table shows the mileage built in 1902
and to be built in 1903 by states;

The record for the year for textile
progress is remarkable. It shows ad.

dles and 31,667 looms.
“The low grade goods that have in
the past engaged the attention of the
Southern mills do not attract the new
companies, but they plan for produc
ing the finer grades of cloth. Another
decided tendency is that which will
eventually enable the South to finish

The March Cosmopolitan.
The Cosmopolitan Magazine for
March contains a number of note
worthy articles. “The Police Sys
tems of Europe,” by Avery D.
Aedrews, formerly Police Commis
sioner of New York, embodies
many of the results of the investi
gations of the author on his recent
official visit to Europe, where he
went to study the police systems of
the leading countries. It is capi
tally illustrated. “The Selection
of a Home,”by Clarence A. Martin,
Professor of Architecture at Cor
nell University, is the first of
twelve articles on the general sub
ject of “How to Administer a
Household.” Louise Parks Rich
ards contributes an interesting
personal sketch of the great paint
er, Von Uenbach. Two other
character sketches deal with James
Brooks Dill, the p ominent cor
poration lawyer, and Edward
Henry Harriman, the Western
Railroad Czar. Elbert Hubbard,
in an article on “A Gladiatorial
Renaissance,” makes out a strong
case against football as it is played
to-day, and Tom Masson discusses
how many men a girl should be
engaged to before she marries.
“The Woman of Fifty,” by Mrs.
Wilson Woodrow, deals with the
victory of modern woman over her
hereditary enemy, Time. Other
articles are: “The Young Napo
leon,’’ by Field-marshal Viscount
Wolseley, K. P.; “Mankind in the
Making,” by H. G. Wells; ‘ Insur
ance as a Profession,” by Charles
F. Thwing. L. L- D., President of
the Western Reserve Univeristy;
and “Beauty in the Modern
Chorus.” The March Cosmopoli
tan also contains four complete
stories in addition to Henry Seton
Merriman’s new novel, “Barlasch
of the Guard.”
