1. How the blue -stone is applied: -
Place an ordinary spray pump, such'
as is used for the spraying of fruit
trees, on a cart or light wagon; drive
along slowly through the field ap-
plying the solution to the mustard
plants in the form of a fine spray.
When the field is badly infested it is
advisable to spray the crop in strips
in order that no mustard plants es-
cape the spray.
2. How the blue -stone solutien is
made: -Put mine (9) pounds of bine-
stone (copper sulphate) in a coarse
sack or bag, and suspend it in a ves-

3. When to spray the mustard
plants: -Spray the Mustard on a
calm, bright day, just as the plants
are coining into bloom. At this
time most of the young plants have
zna:de their appearance, and all will
be killed. Should a heavy rain come
immediately after spraying, it will
be necessary to spray again.
4. The cost of the solution; -Com-
mercial blue -stone, or blue vitrol
costs at the drug store about nine
or ten cants per pound. A barrel
of the solution will therefore cost
about eighty or ninety CCIltS.
