It is important that the atomic sulphur be added at this time in all orchards infected with mil- dew or where mildew is likely to cause any trouble. (All fruit growers who expect to use atomic sulphur at any time during the season should begin at time of calyx spray and combine it with arsenate of lead and lime-sulphur solu- tion in order to start stimulation at this time and prevent over stimulation and sulphur injury later in the season.) 4. Ten-day spray. About ten davs after the petals fall an aditional appli- cation for scab control should be ap- plied. Weather conditions will govern, to some extent, the material to be used. If cool, rainy weather ijrevails at this time, use lime-sulphur solution diluted at the rate of four gallons for each 200- gallon tank of spray. If the weather is reasonably clear and warm, use atomic sul|)hur at the rate of twenty-four pounils for each 200-gallon tank of spray, as this material is less likelv to iniure the fruit and foliage than lime- .sulphur solution under these conditions. 5. Thirty-day spray. Use the follow- ing combination: Atomic sulphur, 24 pounds; arsenate lead paste, 8 pounds; water to make 200 gallons. This is the second spray for codling moth con- trol, the fourth spray for scab control and the final sijray, under normal con- ditions, for mildew control. (If very hot weather prevails at this time, use twenty pounds of atomic sulphur in- stead of twenty-four pounds for each 200-gallon tank.) 5a.
