'me Sulphur Best Lime sulphur is the best established fungicide for pre-blossom syraying in this district, using two to two-and-a-half gallons to 100 gallons of spray. The stronger solution has been used most commonly around Sturgeon Bay in recent yean but has cccasionally caused an objectionable amount of leaf injury.

It is believed that the 2 per cent solution gives effective results. Entomologists advise adding lead arsenate or other insecticides for insect control. In exceptional cases when the blossoms have started to open at the time of the application the insecticide should be omitted to avoid poisoning bees. The three sprays recommended, and exact timing is emphasized, are, first, the green tip or delayed dormant, applied when the young leaf and bud parts have pushed out about one-fourth to one-half inch; second, the closed cluster or pre-pink spray, applied at the growth stage about half-way between the green tip and open cluster; third, the open cluster or pink spray, applied just before the2hlosoms open, preferably after the blossom buds have separ- ated in the clusters. a banquet May 14.

Pick ing the brush that has been prun ed out of the cherry and apple trees is still claiming the attention of most orchardists in Door county, but it will be but a matter of days before tractors are droning up and down the rows and the first cultivation will be under way. This will be followed very soon by the first important apple sprays for control of scab.

Spray wagons are now being overhauled. According to Prof. G. W. Keitt and C.

N. Clayton of the Door county experimental station there was a substantial development of scab on the foliage last season and this suggests the probability of a heavy crop of ascospores this year. Timely and adequate applications of fungicides will be necessary and it is suggested that three prc-blossom sprays will be advisable. The young leaf and bud tissues are at this time in their most susceptible stage and control of scab is basic to the success of the whole season's program. For complete control it is suggested that the first spray be put on at the green tip stage of budhreak and additional applica tions be made as are necessary to JUNIOR WOMEN END CLUB YEAR MONDAY Number of Activities Sponsored by Peshtigo Croup.
