1 best treatment against
apple scab and apple leaf spot. These
destructive diseases seriously affect
both trees and fruit, but can be effect-
ively controlled if directions are fol
lowed. The first spraying should be
made with a carefully prepared lime
and sulphur solution (not the home
kind) at a strength of two gallons to
fifty gallons of water, just before the
cluster buds open. The second spray
ing should take place two or three
weeks later, with the same solution
at a strength of one and one-haif gal- ^
ions to fifty of water, and the third
spraying with this same weaker solu
tion three weeks later still. The best
results can be obtained only by mak
ing sure to apply tlie first spraying
just before the cluster buds open.
Two birds can be killed with one
stone by adding two pounds of arse
nate of lead for the last
two sprayings for scab and
leaf spot, as the spray will
then also control the coddling moth.
Fertilization and clean cultivation
will always render trees more resist
ant to fungus diseases.
Bitter rot is another serious dis
ease of the apple, and is more difficult
to control than leaf spot and scab. It
is also of a fungus nature, and causes
the apples to rot before maturity,
usually beginning in July. It can be
remedied by the Same lime and sul
phur solution applied as before de
scribed, but for the most effective
control of it Bordeaux mixture shorn
be used late in the sea m, from July

in the paper. The paper comes out Thursday noon and all adver
tisers should have their copy in not later than Tuesday night and
we can give them such position that they will get good results. We
have been obliged to turn down advertisements this week because
of their eleventh hour coming in. Give us the copy in plenty of
time and we can lease you. Wait until the _la* minute amit you
have to take what is left and you are not satisfied but still at the
same time you have no one to blame but yourself. Give us the
matter right and let us sell your goods for you.
