These orchards were visited in Jnly and August by I'rof. Lochhead, j. Fred. Smith, Robt. Thompson, P. W. Hodgetts and my- self, and in every case little or no difference could be seen in the of living scale between the trees sprayed with these mix- tures and those on which the boiled lime- sulphur washes had been used. Some of the members of the committee were inclined to think that the mixture containing the sal soda gave rather better results but there was very little difference. Of this season's work Dr. Felt reports to the effect that excellent results were ob- tained from the use of the lime-sulphur and sal soda ndxture. The Geaeva Experiment Station workers state that the results ob- tained from the wash were good,- but not uniform. At the New Jersey Experiment Station, Prof. Smith reports that this wash has been quite effective, but that it is not so good as the bottled mixture and costs a little more. The indications from this year's experiments are, that if properly made, a useful material is obtained. The ease with which these mixtures may be prepared will greatly recommend them to the small fruit grower who has not suffi- cient trees to warrant the installing of a steam boiling plant. It cannot, however, be too strongly emphasized that the greatest care must be exercised in the preparation n" these washes.
