The most important damage eaueed is the weak- ening effect on the entire 'tree. De- foliation,. especially When heavy, pre- vents the maturing ef the new wood of the tree. ‘"This may predispose the tree to winter killipg the next winter. Because of its common oecurrence and damaging effects upon the trees - themselves, ethis, dieease should be controlled in every' comreerciel orch- ard. The first thing that should be doge is to cultivate the orchard before the blossoms are out. Care should be taken to cover as many of the old leaves as possible. In this way the amount of infection is materially re- deeed. Spraying with either lime Sul- phur, or bordeanx, il1l control this disease. Bordeaux is preferred by many growers. The 4-4-40 formula is strong enough and it is effective against, yellow leaf even at weaker strengths. Lime sulphur e at the strength, of 1 to 40 is effective. Iron sulphate may be added to the lime sulphur at the rate of one and one- fourth pounds to 40 gallons. This in- creases its adliesivenese and pNvents burning. In order to avoid the early and often very destructive infections it is advised that the firsrapplication De made just as the petals are about . all ett, or at least a few days later.
