SPRAYING AWAY THE BUGS. % Control Measures For Orchard And Garden. Cletnson College.?Within the next month the orchard trees will probably be in the proper stage for the spring sprayings to control worms. Arsenate of Lead should be purchased as soon as possible and should not be put off until the day the spraying should be done. Everyone who expects to have fruit without worms this summer should consider the purchasing of spray materials' for the spring and summer sprayings as an obligation not to be neglected. The first spraying of peaches for worms should be done when the petals have fallen and most of the shucks slipped, which is about ten days after full bloom. The spraying of apples should be immediately after all petals have fallen and before the calyx closes. In a mixed orchard where there- are various types and ages of tipple tree? t two sprayings will be necessary, as all the trees will not be blooming at the same time. Spray part of the trees when enough of the petals have fallen, an H fha to at irithin a vootr nr ton days. What Is Needed for Spring Sprayings. For each fifty-gallon barrel of spray solution, one pound of arsenate of lead powder or two poilnds of arsenate of lead paste ;and two pounds of unslaked lime. In estimating the materials needed, the following schedule of amount of spray required on trees should bemused: 60 very young peach br apple trees per barrel. 35 peach trees In full bearing per . . barrel. 35 apple trees in full bearing per barrel. > . 20 large old-fashioned apple trees per barrel . .. Write for Circular Number 25 for directions for the spring and summer pnyiaca. - - v . v Apple Lice : Apple> trees-when the tear** begin to crow are very frequently attacked by ttce or aphis. The yoong- leaves curl aait the tree's rro^tn if checked bf the ltcev socking the.plant Unices. : The frnlt ykM is redweed and the fruit, wfll H defprmed and pbofly developed.?and this atoo afalsts in spreading diseases. For Coatro}: rBogia fast as soon as the Uoe.:efe noticed oo the tender young leaves and when the leaves begin, to curl amjf tarn yellow. Spray with nicotine sulfate (alio known as'"Black Leal 40^, diluted at the rate of about 1 liMpwnfctf tp 1 gallon of watet, <* about % coffee-cup full to 50 gallons of water. The nicotiner c^q be mixed with the arsenate of lead spray" and bd put on at the same time. Write for bulletins on the .Apptf 'Efce. . Qarden Insects for Marph and April. Ameng the spring garden insects which usu8^|v~ reouire att*?*<ori durmg March and April are the potato beetle or bug, the cabbage wofnii, and the cabbage lice. Very little trouble should be experienced in controlling \ these pests. The main point in the control is to watch the plants closely ^ ' rih a , on the first appearance of these 1 pests, st6rt controlling them. To Control 'Hie Potato Bug or Beetle:?The most convenient and efficient method is to dust the plants .with arsenate of lead powder or calarsenate. Of course the plants can be sprayed with a solution of these poisons with the same results. But the dusting method is cheaper and more easily done. Mix the poison thoroughly with air-slaked lime in the proportion of about half and half. A small flour sack or a muslin or cheese-cloth Ifeg can be used to advantage to shake tiie poison on the plants. Do this in early morning when the dew is on the plants for best results. Do not let the bag become wet by touching the Wet plants. To Control the Cabbage Worm:? Use the same control measures for the cabbage worm as for the potato beetle. The prejudice that some hare against poisoning cabbage is an unfounded one. Experiments show that a person wouM hare to eat 28 cabbages at one time, if dusted in the ordinary way, to receive any poisoning effects. Begin to dust the cabbage with either of the two poisons mentioned for the control of the potato bug, when the worm holes are first noticed, and continue this as long as ' necessary. Cabbage Lice:?A small grayish, or greenish louse, which causes the plant to wilt and die by sucking. The cabbage louss gires birth to ? liting young throughout the summer months, by the millions. During the fall there is a generation of female lice which lay eggs. The winter is passed in the egg stage. Control: 1. Spray wrtn nicotine sulfate or Black Leaf 40?1 pint to 100 gallons water, or 1 tablespoon to 6 gallons water. 1. Spray with soap solution: 1 lb. of ordinary laundry soap in 2 gallons of hot water. Share the soap in thin pieces before heating. Dilute the 2 gallons of hot mixture to 4 gallon? by adding 2 gallons of cold water.
