Black Leaf was applied at one strength, namely, one gallon to fifty-five gallons of water. Home prepared lime and sulphur was applied at one strength, namely, fifteen pounds of lime and fif- teen pounds of sulphur to fifty gallons of water.

The follow- ing insecticides were applied at this time to about one hundred and fifty trees: Rex lime and sulphur, one gal- lon to ten gallons of water; Black Leaf, one gallon to fifty gallons of water; Black Leaf, one gallon to seventy gal- lons of water, combined with arsenate of lead three pounds to one hundred gal- lons of water; Black Leaf "40," one gal- lon to eight hundred gallons of water; Black Leaf "40," one gallon to one thou- sand gallons of water, combined with arsenate of lead six pounds to one hun- dred gallons of water; Black Leaf "40," one gallon to nine hundred gallons of 1 2 0 93 water, combined with arsenate of lead ten pounds to one hundred gallons of water.
