Dear Sir: In compliance with your request of July 16th I take pleasure in handing you the following statement with reference to the behavior of your Dry Lime-Sulfur under three seasons' work at the University esperimeutal orchards, iocated for the most part in southern and cen- tral Illinois. Dry Lime-Sulfur in three seasons lias re- sulted iu no fruit or foliage injur>' when com- bined with standard arsenates of lead as a summer spray for apples. In all of our exper- imental work, the Dry Lime-Sulfur was used at the rate of three pounds In fifty gallons of water. As a fungicide. It has provid equally as etTective as the lime-sulfur solution, both in the control of apple scab and of the com- mon diseases found on orchard fruits. It is also worthy of mention that the finish of the fruit in all cases has been very fine and In most cases has been superior to tliat secured \rith lime-sulfur or bordeaux mixture, or. In fact, any other fungicide which we have used. I hope this answers your letter satisfactorily, and while there are a great many other things that might be said. I think this covers the ground pretty well as far as my experience has gone. Tours very truly. W. S. BROCK. WSB/IP Instructor in Pomology. North Yakima. Nov. 22, 1918. A. B. Fosseen & Company. Yakima, Washington. Gentlemen: In my dormant spray, in the spring of 1918. on your recommendation I tried out two 100-lb. packages of Shenrin-Williams Dry Lime-Sul- fur. In using this material I picked the dirtiest, worst infested part of the orchard to give it a thorough test and was more than pleased with the results obtained, as compared with the other brand of spray which I used. The comparative first cost of the spray was about the same, with the cheaper handling charge in favor of the Dry Lime-Sulfur.
