SECOND SPRAY FOR FRUIT TREKS.
Now (li!ii the season is passed for
dormant spraying, fruit growers
should prepare for the treatments
that improve the fruit.
Apple trees should 1- sprayed just
as the blossoms fall with concentrat
ed lime-sulphur mixture, diluted one
gallon to forty of water, to which
should he added 2 pounds of arsenate
of lead to at) gallons of spray, to pre
vent injury from Codling Moth and
various diseases.
Peach and plum trees should lie
sprayed just as the calyxes or shucks
are falling, with a solution made by
using 2 pounds of arsenate of lead
and 2 pounds of lime to oO gallons
of water.
Tomato plants should lie sprayed
in the lied when they have their third
leaf, with Rordeaux mixture, -l-.T-oO
formula, and 2 pounds lead, to pre
vent leaf blight and lessen attack
from flea beetles, etc.
All persons interested in these treat
ments should write at once to the
Maryland Experiment Station, Col
lege Park, Md,, for bulletin No. IC*I
now ready for distribution.
WINTER* INJURY OF SHRUBS AND
FRUIT TREES.
The very serious winter weather in
January and February has caused
quite extensive injuries to many
shrubs and trees in Maryland, and
no doubt during the coining season,
and probably in years following,
many obscure troubles will be noticed
which can lie referred back to the
weather this past year. Of course,
the buds of peach and some other
fruit trees have been practically all
killed in many parts of the State.
As a rule, the fruit buds of other
species have not been hurt much,
and as the ground was fortunately !
covered by snow, the roots of all
plants did nut suffer, and the small j
herbaceous trees being entirely cover- j
ed will come out in unusually good j
condition. The most serious injury I
has been to the wood of many trees
and shrubs. Many shrubs usually I
hardy have Ih-cii killed to the snow ,
line, although in many eases the hark !
and buds appear alright, the wood i
and cambium, however, being entire-1
ly dead. This applies especially to j
California privet hedge and most
roses, also to some spireas and other!
ornamental sbrulis. If these shrubs'
are cut back now to the uninjured
wood, they will in most eases recover,
also buds at the base of the plants. \
The wood of peach trees in swme parts
of the State, where the temperature,
went to 20 below zero or more has
been killed and in such eases if the
trees are cut back to the wood a half
inch in diameter, they will usually |
make a better recovery than if cut,
very severely. Some varieties of ap
ple show wood which is blackened
even worse than the peach wood, but
growers should not be alarmed as
trees so effected will recover much
letter than peach and usually need
very little treatment except to give 1
them best conditions for active growth. ;
Large Revenue From 'Milk.
Eight thousand gallons of milk are
shipped to Washington from this county
every day, said a gentleman of this city,
who is interested in the milk business
and who investigated some facts about
the milk shipments over the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad from Frederick to
points along the line, in this county, to
the capital. He said that this represents
practically a new industry for this county,
which is growing steadily right along.
It means that upwards of $1,600 a day
is brought to this county from Washing
ton by the milk that is produced. This
gentleman stated that now dairying can
be ranked as one of the leading pursuits
in this section.
Two years ago it is claimed that not
one-fourth of this quantity of milk was
shipped to Washington from this county,
showing that the business has grown in
wonderful proportions. At that time
only one shipment was made to the capi
tal city during the day, in the morning;
now other consignments are regularly
made during the day. The White Cross
Milk plant is the largest shipp ,-r from
Frederick, although there are several
other dealers in the county, who handle
great quantities. —Newa,
Arrangements are being made for the
