Spraying has been quite effective in controlling the leaf spot. In the summer of 1908 the per cent, of leaves spotted in the orchards referred to under apple scab was reduced from 97 to 26 by the use of Bordeaux and to 21 by the use of lime-sulfur solution. Five sprayings were made, but it is probable that only the first three were.
