Show Conditions Right For Spraying I An orchard survey conducted Tuesday, March 26th, indicates that conditions are right for application of dormant spray. Apples and pears should receive an oil spray. The only exception to this recommendation recommenda-tion is in case either blister mite or mildew gave trouble last year. In such cases, lime-sulphur should be used according to Clarence O. Ash-ton, Ash-ton, assistant county agricultural agent. Peaches and apricots should be sprayed with lime-sulphur. Since oil does not control the peach blight which is becoming worse each year there should be no exception to this recommendation. Three pounds of Arsenate of Lead to each hundred gallons of material adds to the effectiveness ef-fectiveness of this spray for coutro' of twig borer. Cherries, prunes, and plums may be sprayed with either oil or lime-sulphur lime-sulphur with equally good results.
