Fiudcht Cwwci To Bi Rixnred Thu Moxth The f*« freight aervice which wm inaugurated last year after |J» 26. will be started this year on May 2i. according to H. B. Ixnifofd. Transportation Expert of the State Department of Agri- . | t J rt . Mr. Bamford, when mtervieseed at BnAptOfi aeseral days *1, rnnariel that "centraliaed flipping points in Cape May County' „*Jd be decidedly advantageous to growers. If the growers within rsdi-js of six mile* of any shipping point, for example Cape May «jrt House or Rio Granoc, would concentrate their shipments at bit point, they could benefit by carload rates and in time buyers B , j be attracted there by the quantity of produce dupped."

Timeukus of Application Important in Spiayinc The Experiment Station recommends frequent sprays at tbit • of the year, for the control of fruit insects and fungous dist, which must be applied at the proper time if the-* !»wect* and _.™*ies are to be controlled. As has been suggested on this page e-,.rc, grower* will find it of advantage to acquaint themselves •,th the various sprays in order that they may be prepared to apply

n when the proper time arrive*.

At the present time the growers of cherries should be preparing spray for the control of brown rot, leaf spot, curculio and other . *cts. The Exper rnent S.atson recommends New Jersey dry mix the rate of I2>^ pounds to fifty gallons of spray material, to _»hich solution is added 1J4 pounds of powdered arsenate of lead. Fbu spray should be applied when thr fruit it the site of a small

or just after the shucks have fallen.

Within * short time it will also be advisable to apply another each spray. The proper time to make this application is just as the begin to slip from the small fruit*. The material to be used New Jersey dry mix 12}4 pounds to fifty gallons of water, plus pound of arsenate of lead powder. This application will control i brown rot and curculio. li this application is delayed until ,he husks are nearly ofl. the grower is likely to experience

omidtraHe damage by curculio.

The apple grower will need to continue his war on srab by an application of spray within a few days and, in addition to this, the grower will need to begin a fight against coddling moth and curculio. 'fie Experiment Station recommends that an application be ms le directly after the petals fall and before the calyx closes. The material recommended for this spray is Ne. Jersey dry mix 12j>i pounds and l 1 /, pounds of powdered arrsenate of lead to fifty gallons of material. The best control of scab is obtained if the spray is applied just before a storm tather than immediately after. Forty per cent, nicotine sulphate should be added when aphis or false apple red

bug are found present in the orchard.

Conttuh. Cabbage Maggot Now With Cobosive Sublimate Corrosive sublimate applied now will control cabbage maggots, they trill be hatching within a few days. Once they are pertted to become embedded within the stalk or stem of the punt it almort impossible to control them. Many growers fully realize bit, as past experience has taught them that cabbage maggot may suie a loss of from 30 to 100 per cent. Numerous growers in this ection have found that the corrosive sublimate wasaien: r**®®" nrndod by the Experiment Station it very effective in contri. ling bis pest and also that it is comparatively inexpensive and simple to

The treatment is as follows: Dissolve one ounce of corrosive sublimate erv -ah to ten gallons of *-ater and apply about one-half cuptul of this solution around the btM of each plant, as soon as the flies art observed in the held. Some grower* use a commercial maggot “gun” sod n,h *T‘ use a knap-sack sprayer with the norale removed. Of course a cup, or dipper, may be used for the purpoae. Ten gallons of material will treat 500 plants at an approximate coat of $15 per acre. It is well to always remember that it is a deadly poison, ind also that it will quickly corrode metal*, therefore it is best to mix it in an earthenware or wooden container.
