Peaches Ready for Third
Spraying Laboratory
Reports.
FORT VALLEY, Ga., April
30. —Peaches are now ready for
their third spraying, acccrding
to information contained in a
bulletin issued today Lty the
Government and State Labora
tory here. Following is the
bulletin:
The Hileys should be sprayed
for the third time immediately,
and Georgia Belles and Elbertas
will be ready for the third appli
cation the latter part of this
week. The early varities should
be sprayed next week. This is
‘the tirst brown rot spray, and itl
should be applied about two
‘weeks before the fruit enters
the stone hardening stage. Self
boiled lime-sulphur 32 32-200
should be used alone for this
spraying; unless the first spray!
for the curculio was omitted, in
which case four pounds of ar
senate of lead should be used
with the self-boiled lime sulphur.
If the spray schedule issued Ly
the Lahoratory has been closely
fyllowed no arsenate of lead is
necessary in the third spray. If
dvst is used the 80-5-15 formula
is recommended for the third
dusting.
A special effort should be made
to do a thorough job in putting
on the third spray as no more
applications are to go on the late
varieties until four weeks Lefore
the fruit ripens.

the fact that when a razor loses lits
