attention now
According to E. A. Spacek,
Wood County Farm Agent, good
-fruits can be grown only if
proper attention is given to the
tontrol of various insects and
diseases attacking trees. Winter
■prays are applied for the con-
trol! of scale insects and peach
leaf curl. Most orchards in this
^section have San Jose scale,
lys Spacek. To control this
lubjle either of two sprays
T may/"be used.
pibmmercial oil 2% strength
Ifre recommended for scale
alone—it should be mixed with
ware» according to directions
on the container. Keep this
|| spray well mixed at all times
and avoid possible spraying
|j- Just before freeing weather.
Where leaf curl was noted in
the orchard last year, commer-
cial lime-sulfur is recommend-
ed. This is usually mixed at
the rate of one gallon of lime
sulfur to ten gallons of water.
This spray will control both
leaf curl and scale insects.
Pick out a still day to do your
spraying .says the farm agent.
The agove are dormant or win-
ter sprays and should not be
*
applied after buds begin to
swell. Before spraying, orchards
should be pruned, taking out
all dead limbs, trees and can-
kered areas. This will result
in the saving of much time and
spraying material.
Many orchardowners are in-
quiring about peach tree borer
control. Paradichlorobenzene
Crystals, or moth crystals
should have been applied in
October or November. How-
ever farmers lucky enough to
secure ethylene dichloride still
have time to get rid of peach
borers. This substance is us-
ually sold in a 50% stock so-
lution which is applied during
fall, winter or early spring
when temperatures are not
freezing. The emulsion is best
applied by pouring it on the
soil immediately around the
tree. Care should be taken not
to wet the trunk. Cupping the
soil slightly toward the tree
trunk helps to prevent the
liquid from running off. Loos-
ening the soil makes absorp-
tion of the liquid better. Sev-
eral shovels of soil chould be
placed against the tree after
treatment—this prevents loss of
the fumigant. No further at-

tention is necessary.
A tin household cup holding
one-half pint will be useful in
applying ethylene dichloride
emulsion. Dosage per tree de-
pends on age and the follow-
ing directions should be careful-
ly followed. For trees 6 years
or older y2 pint per tree of a
mixture of equal parts of water
and 50% stock solution of ethy-
lene dichloride. Trees 4 to 5
years of age should get y2
pint of a mixture of 7 parts
water and 3 parts stock solu-
tion. For 2 year old trees the
same as for 3 year old trees,
but only V4 pint per tree. One
year old trees should be treat-
ed with a mixture of 8V2 parts
water and 1 and one half part
50% solution. In all cases the
water and stock solutions
should be mixed by volume—
not weight.
At this time when orchard
owners are purchasing nursery
stock, they are cautioned by
the farm agent to carefully
examine the roots of all trees
before accepting same. If no-
dules or knotty growths are
found—don’t accept them—as
they are probably infected
with crown gall or nematodes,
both serious headache to or-
chardists.

Makes Statement
To County Voters
H. H. MaAllister, candilate
for er-election to the office of
District Clerk in Wood County,
this week issued the following
statement to the voters of
the county:
To the People of Wood County:
You will see in the papers
of the County that I am again
asking you for your consider-
ation, support and your VOTE
in the Primary Election, this
year, 1946, and in so doing I
am just simply relying on your
fair and unbiased opinion as
to whether you think, (after
due consideration) that I
should have your support for
one more term as your District
Clerk.
I surely do appreciate your
support in the years gone by
and if you decide in my favor
again this year, I shall always
be deeply grateful, and shall do
my utmost to see that you
never have cause to regret
helping me to one more term,
as this shall be the last time
that I shall ask for it.
I cannot tell you anything
more about myself than most
of you know, for I have been
here among you all the time
since 1 discovered America, and
shall continue to carry on in
the future just as I have in
the years past and gone, just
so long as I am able to do so.
Thanking you again for all
favors, past, present and fu-
ture, I beg to remain yours to
serve.
