Peach Leaf Curl
If this disease is on your trees it will soon become evident in the unfolding peach leaves. You should watch the leaves carefully for the next two or three weeks to determine how effective your spraying has been for its control. Remember that the effectiveness of the spray will depend largely upon two factors, first, whether it was applied before the buds begin to swell, and second, whether it was thoroughly done. Be slow to lay failure to the mixture used. It has been demonstat- ed beyond a question that Lime Sulfur, Bordeaux mixture or Copper Sulphate will effectually control this disease. It is of course, too late .to spray for the disease now, but a careful examination of your trees, and a study of the dis¬ ease in the light of your spraying oper¬ ations of this year, should help you to more satisfactorily handle the proposi¬ tion next year. Bulletin 276 on Peach Leaf Curl and its Control is now ready for distribution. This bulletin gives a careful description of the disease and the habits of the fungus which causes it, together with the most modem methods of controlling the malady. You will be interested in comparing the data in this bulletin with the re¬ sults which you have gotten on this disease. Full directions are given for the preparation of Lime Sulfur solu¬ tions; Bordeaux mixture, etc., for the control of the Curl. This bulletin is free to growers in the State of New York. Drop a card to us at once ask¬ ing for a copy of the bulletin. If you do not get it upon first request write again. Your name will go on our list for further bulletins along the-line of plant diseases.    Address,
