A: Surface, State Zoolo- gist, Harrisburg, stating that he had used.undiluted concentrated lime-sul- fur solution on his peach trees for borers, and asked if he was right in do- ing so. To this Professor Surface replied as follows: “Your statement that you used the concentrated lime-sulfur solution without dilution on your peach trees, and fyour inquiry as to whether you did right. is very much like ‘‘locking the stable door after the horse is stolen.”” If you did not fully under- stand the directions, you should haye obtained further instruction before making the application. I am of the opinion that it will not injure your trees, but it may do so, as it was en- tirely too strong for the necessity of the purpose for which it was used. It was, to say the least, a waste of ma- terial, even if it is not a menace to the tree to use the application so strong while it is not in the dormant stage. It is very important for grow- ers to follow directions exactly, and be sure that they do this. DEAD LETTER LIST. W. H. Bartigo, Miss Louise Comp- ton, card Peter Dig, James H. Ham- ilbon, Wm.
