Dear Sirs: 



herewith hand vou money order for Or 

 pay for the iwo iviass-o-spray nozzi 

 I sent me for tria' some time ago. I <var\t to 

 say that yuu make lo mistake in selling these 

 goods on the plan you do for they surely talk 

 for themselves. I bought a new sprayer of the 

 largest capacity this spring, and I think these 

 nozzles have increased its efficiency at least 25 

 per cent. They set a pace that is hard lo lol 



You will hear from me again as I need 

 supplies. Thanking you, I am, Youi

Codling Moth Control in the Northwest

SO imich hits been written about 

 codling moth during the last dec- 

 ade and so many speeches made 

 on this subject one would seem ,ju.sti- 

 lied in concluding control methods 

 should be so well-known and so thoi- 

 oiighly practiced that further dis- 

 cussion of the sub.ject was unnecessary. 

 This year's expeiience, however, woulil 

 indicate that the codling-moth lamily 

 is a very large and exceedingly live 

 one, and a foe well worth our best

Plant a Walnut Grove that will 

 grow into dollars while you 

 sleep. The N'rooman Franquette 

 bears at three years and sells for 

 25 cents per pound — is smaller 

 than an apple and sells for more 

 money. Get in with the tide and 

 g-et rich. At forty feet apart it only 

 takes 28 trees to the acre. Is 

 cheaper than an apple orchard 

 to plant and makes your land 

 more valuable.

efTorts to combat. Many fruitgrowers 

 of the Northwest have been sorely dis- 

 appointed this year. It has not been 

 pleasant to see such a high percentage 

 of apples go to the cull pile, especially 

 when the crop was short and prices, 

 for marketable fruit, better than any 

 time for three years past. This dis- 

 appointment is by no means confined 

 to the fruitgrower, but affects every 

 person who has the welfare of this 

 country at heart and either directly 

 or indirectly alfects every industry of 

 this large section. Manufacturers of 

 any commodity, whether it be spray 

 materials, farm machinery, shoes, au- 

 loiuobiles or what not, want the fruit- 

 grower and farmer to obtain adeciuate 

 returns for his produce. These returns 

 judiciously ajiplied toward producing 

 more and better fruit and other farm 

 crops mean greater prosperilx- lo cvci\ 

 section. If this loss results in more 

 careful work in the future, and belter 

 Ijractice in every detail of control op- 

 erations, Ihi.s year's experience will be 

 of value, for it is seldom that the wise 

 and successful man makes the same 

 mistake twice. 



Ahmy jjcojile are studying Ihe aijple 

 problem from dilferent angles. You 

 have marketing experts, eflicicnl sales- 

 nu'it, good graders, many of \(iu know 

 \()ur soil and climate and are adei)t in 

 cultivation and pruning; then why 

 such woeful failure in some cases lo 

 proi)erh' control the worms'.' .\n ex- 

 tensive trip Ihrou.iiliout the apple sec- 

 lions of the I'acilic Northwest this fall 

 convinced me llial the one main cause 

 above cvcrvthiiig else was the faihu'c, 

 l)> the fruitgrower, from whatever 

 may have been Ihe cause; to properly 

 meet conditions as these conditions 

 ;ictiiall.\ existed in each localilN'. 

 l^vei'N orchard I saw that showed a 

 hi.gh percentage of wormy fruit showed 

 ver\ little, if any, arsenate of lead on 

 tile fiiiit or foliage in late .Vugiist to 

 earh Se|jtember. It seems to be lui- 

 luan nature among all of us that after 

 considerable experience with some 

 speiial line, if we meet with any 

 degree of success, we begin to think 



that (juestion solved for all time to 

 come, and therefore begin to neglect 

 the moi'c important, necessary opera- 

 tions. 



.\11 forms of insect life are fighting 

 continually for existence and the per- 

 petuation of the species. Abundance 

 of suitable food, favorable surround- 

 ings and climatic conditions, the ab- 

 sence of natural enemies and scarcity 

 of or laxness in artificial methods of 

 control all tend to allow a great in- 

 crease in the numbers of any ])est.
