Стр. 21 - Nos. 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10, 11 and 12.
Стр. 24 - ... cured it makes a hay that will be cleanly eaten. It may be, even at the expense of the grass, best to allow the oats to ripen. Keep teams off the field as far as possible and do not turn stock into it nor cut it, even though the clover does look tempting. Fourth year. Top dress early in the spring with 200 pounds of acid phosphate and 100 pounds of muriate of potash. As the application of nitrate of soda has a tendency to run out clover, in a five-year rotation it will be better to top dress...
Стр. 83 - Say.) The young shoots of the grape during the spring months in some districts will often be observed to suddenly break off or droop and die, and if examination be made a small hole will be found just above the base of the withered shoot, with a burrow leading from it a short distance into the main stem. Within the burrow will be found the culprit in the form of a peculiar cylindrical brown beetle about half an inch long. This beetle has long been known as the apple twig-borer, from its habit of...
Стр. 118 - Rule 4. — Should the question of priority arise between different names for the same variety of fruit, other circumstances being equal, the name first publicly bestowed will be given precedence.
Стр. 92 - ... case of large trees to walk up one side of the row and down the other, as in simply walking through the orchard it is impossible to be certain that every case of blight has been cut out. "The above line of treatment will be even more efficacious in keeping unaffected orchards free from the blight. A careful inspection of all pomaceous trees should be made two or three times during the summer and a sharp lookout kept for the first appearance of the blight. It usually takes two or three years for...
Стр. 91 - Pruning in winter time, or when the tree is dormant, tends to make it grow and form a great deal of new wood, and on that account it favors pear blight. Withholding the pruning knife, therefore, may not otherwise be best for the tree, but it will reduce to some extent its tendency to blight. Fertilizing. — The better a tree is fed the worse it will fare when attacked by blight. Trees highly manured with barnyard manures and other nitrogenous fertilizers are especially liable to the disease. Overstimulation...
Стр. 20 - Hiibbard-Eiley formula were better I should be glad to know it and recommend it. My formula recommended for years is this: Dissolve in two quarts of water one quart of soft soap or one-fourth pound of hard soap, by heating to the boiling point, then add one pint of kerosene oil, and stir violently for from three to five minutes. This is best done by pumping the liquid into itself through a small nozzle, so that it shall be thoroughly agitated.
Стр. 92 - Cratasgus, or hawthorns, should be examined for this purpose, the blight being the same in all. The orchardist should not stop short of absolute destruction of every case, for a few overlooked may go a long way toward undoing all his work. Cutting out the blight may be done at any time in the winter or spring up to the period when growth begins. The best time, however, is undoubtedly in the fall, when the foliage is still on the trees and the contrast between that on the blighted and that on the...
Стр. 91 - A well-cultivated tree is more inclined to blight than one growing on untilled land, although the latter often do blight badly. Generally, good tillage every year is necessary for the full development of the pear and quince trees, and is more or less so for the apple in many parts of the country, but the thrift that makes a tree bear good fruit also makes it susceptible to blight. Check the tree by withholding tillage, so that it makes a short growth and bears small fruit, and it will be in a better...
Стр. 92 - At that time of the year, however, it can not be hoped to make much headway against the disease, as new cases constantly occur which are not sufficiently developed to be seen when the cutting is done. In orchards where there are only a few trees, and the owner has sufficient time to go over them daily, he will be able to save some which would otherwise be lost. However, when the trees stop forming new wood, the campaign should begin in earnest.
