Spray treatments will control these di seases and increase the profits from the berry croi.' he stated. Dr. Shaw recommends either the 4-4-50 Bordeaux mixture or the Cuprocide "54 V" sorav for the control of strawberry leafsoot and scorch. The first application should be made as soon as the new leaf growth has started in late Feb ary or early March. Applications should be repeated at 10-day inter vals' until a few. days before the picking season begins. 1 he 4-4-50 Bordeaux mixture is composed of four pounds of cop per sulphate (blue stone) and four pounds of chemically hydrated lime to 50 gallons of water. From five to 10 gallons of spray will be re quired for each application on one tenth of an acre of strawberries, depending on the type of sprayer used. A small three-to-five Dillon compressed air knapsack or other hand-operated soraver is recom mended for small areas, usinc either the Bordeaux or Cuprocide sprays. Cuprocide is a commercial nrcn. aration, and is used at the r.-itP r,f 2'2 ounces of the chemical t9. five gallons of water.
