The U. S. Cook Stove Evaporator was 

 used in making the tests at the Univer- 

 sity of Idaho. It can be used on any 

 kind of a cook stove. The dimensions 

 are: Base 22x16 inches, height 26 inches. 

 The base is made of galvanized sheet 

 iron and the framework of wood. It 

 has eight galvanized wire trays 12x17% 

 inches and contains twelve square feet 

 of drying surface. 



The trays are placed in the frame- 

 work one above the other, thus forming 

 a compartment through which the heat 

 rises. When drying fruits or vegetables 

 in this evaporator the trays should all 

 be spread with a single layer, and as 

 the drying progresses the upper trays 

 should be moved to the lower part of 

 the drier in order to insure uniform 

 drying. The fresh products should 

 never be piled up on the trays too thick, 

 as this obstructs the free circulation of 

 air through the evaporator and prolongs 

 the time of drying. To secure a good 

 finished product the temperature should 

 never be allowed to go above 150° F. 

 The results secured are shown in the 

 following table:

Hot Air Evaporator. 



There has also been an increasing 

 demand for information on evaporators 

 somewhat larger than the cook-stove 

 evaporator; those that have been de- 

 signed for family use, but have a capa- 

 city sufficient to dry for market. To 

 supply this information the Zimmer- 

 man type of evaporator was selected 

 for experimentation. This portable fur- 

 nace or hot air evaporator is 21 inches 

 deep, 26 inches wide and 5% feet high. 



This machine has fourteen galvanized 

 wire trays 20x20 inches, making thirty- 

 eight square feet of drying surface. The 

 evaporator is made substantially of gal-

Kills 

 Aphis, 



Recommended by Agricultural Colleges and' Experiment 



Stations. Don't make the mistake of thinking that 



Lime-Sulphur, Arsenate of Lead and Bordeaux kill 



Aphis. These sprays don't, but if you are using 



them at this time, as you probably are, simply add "Black 



Leaf 40" to the mixture, per directions. You will then not 



only get the full benefi t of these sprays, bu t also kill Aphis 



and without the labor-expense of a separate spraying. 



Aphis also attacks Plum, Cherry and other fruits, as well as 



truck crops, vegetables, plants and flowers. Black Leaf 4U 



kills all varieties of Aphis, also Pear Psylla. Red Bug, Leaf 



Hopper, Thrips and other soft-bodied, sucking insects.
