Stephens, Nampa, Idaho .'^t this .season of the year we are making preparations for the lime-sul- phur spray and the ellort to control the San Jose scale. We put our machinery in order, overhauling engine and pump, making sure that everything is in readi- ness, comhining the wants of a large number of people for suitable insecti- cides into one contract and saving all of us something on the first cost and freight. Last season I combined the wants of about eighty orchards into one deal or rate, thus saving all of us some money. We have for many years handled the liquid lime-sulphur, in the manufacture of each barrel of which one hundred and thirty-four pounds of sulphur is used. This gives us a strength of 32 or 33 degrees Beaume, and we use a solution of one to eight gallons of water. Liquid lime-sulphur is marketed in cumbrous heavy barrels weighing about 600 pounds each, awkward to handle and expensive to freight and move around the country. On the other hand, the dry formulas of lime-sulphur are much more con- venient to handle, less freight to haul and can be had in convenient size pack- ages to suit the wants of the small cus- tomer as well as the large. Unfortunately, the dry powders as sold and recommended in quantities the manufacturers suggest to use has not always entered into perfect solution and in the experience of two of our leading orchards the use of the dry powder has not been as efTective in controlling the San Jose scale as the liquid solution.
