Next Cover Spray Due This Week for Apple Orchards
The second cover spray on apples should be applied during the week of May 14 to all trees bearing fruit. Use 4 to 6 pounds arsenate per 100 gallons, 0.5 pound zinc sulphate, and 2 pounds lime. If prior season injury was severe, increase arsenate to 5 pounds per 100 gallons with good results. Consider sulfur fungicide with third cover spray. avoid varieties like Delicious Stayman Winesap and other scab prone types. Flotation sulfur 12 pounds or 6 pounds wettable sulfur may be used. May weather favors scab development over cooling moth activity but next week could see higher moth activity if warm. Nicotine sulphate 0.75 to 1 pint per 100 gallons may be added to second spray to reduce moths, except when using a sulfur fungicide. Oil cannot be added with sulfur fungicide or after it was used previously. The current week’s spray is of major importance for cooling moth control.

Disaster Clause May Be Sought For Short Crops
Eastern and northeastern fruit growers may ask the Office of Price Administration to add a disaster clause to next season’s O P A ceiling prices. A revised emergency schedule would resemble last year’s program after Atlantic hurricane and unseasonable weather losses. J A Ewing reports April and May freezes hurt apple orchards along the coast and in the Midwest, with east of the Mississippi likely extremely light. Northwest Pacific yields remain plentiful as late-season frost risk eased. Growers must prove unfair market conditions with national production figures before a price increase is granted.
