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 1 on. The Bordeaux mixture is mad as follows: Dissolve three or four pounds o. | copper sulphate (blues tone i in a wooo en vessel containing twenty five ga. ions of water.

Then pour the two mixtures together, letting them mix as they fail *nto th‘ receiving vessel. A small Land spra;. may be used if there are on.y a lev. trees, but where there L much spray ing a barrel pump holding fifty gal- Ions is better. The State Department of imtomol oey will be glad to furnish further full detailed information about the care and protection of apple oiciiards on request. h ••Ever In your life see a corn come out like that?
