CARE FOR THE ORCHARD. Spray Young Trees With Commercial Lime Sulphur Solution. Clemson College. May 31:?Sulphur has long been known to be a fungicide. A few years ago our present lime-sulphur solution was developed for the purpose of spraying certain plants that have foilage; too tender to be successfully sprayed with Bordeaux mixture. This solution has proved so successful in combatting both insects and plant diseases that it is now one of ourj standard spray solutions. It is especially value'd as a winter spray for killing scale insects and dormant1 stages of fungi that remain over winter on the branches and trunks of trees and as a summer spray for j spraying apples for scab, roses for mildew, and peaches and plums for brown rot and scab. Lime-sulphur has come into such general use that it is now made and sold by all of the leading spray manufacturers in the country and is] handled by druggists everywhere.! The commercial lime-sulphur solution is a clear, amber colored liquid, containing caicium sulphide in solution. It is made from heatinR lime and sulphur together. Calcium sulphide is the active agent that kills the fungi. This solution is very caustic and if used in too great concentration will kill the plants. Practically all of the commercial solutions of lime-sulphur on the market are guaranteed to have a density of 32 degrees Keaume, ana aiiuuors are recommended on this basis. When 1-9 is recommended for spraying plants that are dormant, we mean 1 gallon of lime sulphur with a density of 32 degrees Beau me to 9 gallons of water. It is essential that the density be known because the more dense the solution the more soluble sulphur it contains and of course the "stronger" it is. Commercial lime-sulphur is used almost entirely now for winter spray and is being used quite largely for summer sprays. It is perfectly safe j to use it on apples und roses and other plants with foliage not especially sensitive. In such case, use 1 gallon of commercial lime-sulphur to 35 gallons of water. With peaches and plums and some few other plants that have especially sensitive foliage commercial lime-sulphur is j not always safe. Under certain I conditions it seems to injure the i foliacre. For Deaches and plums, i use 1 gallon of commercial lime-sulphur to 80 gallons of water. For apples and roses use 1 gallon of commercial lime-sulphur to 35 gallons of water. It seems better and safer, however, to use the self-boiled limesulphur for these tender foliage plants for the present. It is just as efficient and never injures the foliage. In making self-boiled lime-sulphur use 8 pouds of fresh quick lime and 8 pounds of sulphur (flour) to 50 gallons of water. Make this up by placing eight pounds of fresh lime in a tub or barrel and add just enough water to slake it. An excess of water seems to drown the lime and retards the 6laking process. As soon as the lime begins to crumble apart and a violent boiling is set up. add eight pounds of sulphur and stir in thoroughly, adding enough water to keep any part of the mixture from becoming dry or burning. Keep this well stirred and allow the boiling to continue for from 5 to 10 minutes. Special care should be exercised at this time to keep any part of the mixture from becoming dry. Enough water should be added in fact so that the paste is thin enough to be easily stirred. After the boiiing has continued for 5 or 10 minutes, enough water should be added to cool the mixture. It is then ready to apply. A pump with a good agritator should be used so as to keep any part of the mixture from settling out. Lime sulphur solution should be applied with force of about 100 pounds pressure to the square inch. Public Sales Made Here Monday.

''For months I \v:is in .1 broken! down condition and just lay around j the liou?e, unable to do anything, I > i was so weak and nervous. I was past going for a long time and I spent a lot of time in l>ed or in a chair." said Mrs M D Rowers of Williamston, S 0, in her statement endoring Tanlac. "I had been under treatment off and on all the time, but I failed to improve until I began taking Tanlac. Really, l| steadily got worse until I l>egan taking Tanlac. For ten years my health had been going down hill. My stomach was in an awful condition and I suffered terribly with indigestion. "But since taking Tanlac I feel tine. I took eleven bottles and I'm doing all my house work now and when night comes I still feel strong and good. The Tanlac just worked a miracle for me,I think,and one who has never been sick as I was for such a long time cannot understand just what I suffered. It is the only medicine that ever helped me,and I had been sickly for ten years. I am glad to recommend Tanlac, too, for I think it is the finest there has ever been."
