It is not enough to plow this material under, but the soil should be so well worked down that the leaves will decay before' they are brought to the surface the following spring by the process of tillage. Spraying for the purpose of directly combating the disease is a very com- mon practice and must be depended upon for the larger part of the pos- sible success that may be attained in the scab-infested districts. Winter spraying is essential and has a very beneficial efTect in other ways aside from its importance in controlling scab. But where the scab problem is one of the most important, the winter spraying can be deferred until about the time the buds are breaking open in the spring. Many people have found it to their advantage to do their winter spraying after the buds are showing pink. In some sections lime- sulphur is used for the control of scab, to which is added lead arsenate for the control of the bud moth, and black-leaf "JO" for the control of aphis. A three-per-cent oil emulsion is sometimes added to this already greatly varied spray concoction, with splendid results. This last mixture has been used more in California than anywhere else. A very effective solu- tion for the calyx spray is composed of summer-strength lime-sulphur, to which is added arsenate of lead for the codling moth and black-leaf "40" for the aphis. This mixture in some respects will be slightly deteriorated because of the various compounds placed in the tank at once, yet by strength
