THE most serious enemies of the fruit grower in the Niagara region are the San Jose scale, the cherry aphis, the codhng moth, grape rots, the phmi rot and the apple â scab. For several years strenuous efforts have iDcen made to control the San Jose scale with such materials as whale oil soap, crude pe- troleum, and the lime-sulphur wash. Suc- cess has fdllowed the application of the lime- sulphur wash in particular, but on account of the trouble involved in boiling the wash it was thought advisable to try a method of preparation which does not require pro- longed boiling by steam or fire. Besides, it was deemed advisable to know the effective- ness of certain new scale remedies which have recently appeared, viz.: Capdson's ;mixture, Pratt's Anti-scale Remedy or Scali- â¢cide, and the kerosene-limoid mixture. The grape rots have also caused much loss during the last three or four years. The black rot is specially destructive in the St. 'Cath?jrines district, and promises to give much trouble in its control. The downy and powdery mildews are the destructive rots farther west in the Grimsby-Winona district, and the grape growers in that dis- trict are decidedly anxious as to the future. The cherry aphis and plum rot are also diffi- cult to control and cause much loss in many orchards. The Minister of Agriculture, realizing the serious nature of the attacks of these vine- yard and orchard enemies in the great fruit- growing regions of Ontario, decided to ar- range for a series of experiments and demonstrations this searson in spraying at eight places from Winona to the Niagara river. The main object of these experi- ments and demonstrations is to test the ef- fectiveness of the preparations which have been recommended for the control of the chief insect and fungous pests of the or- chard and vineyard.
