water to make 200 gallons. In mixing 

 this combination, put the lime and sul- 

 phur solution into the tank first and 

 then with the agitator running, fill the 

 tank about one-half full of water, then 

 put in twelve pounds of atomic sulphur 

 which has been previously diluted in 

 two or three times its volume of water 

 and when the tank is nearly filled, add 

 the arsenate of lead paste the last thing 

 before spraying. It is important that 

 the atomic sulphur be added at this 

 time in all orchards infected with mil- 

 dew or where mildew is likely to cause 

 any trouble. (All fruit growers who 

 expect to use atomic sulphur at any 

 time during the season should begin at 

 time of calyx spray and combine it with 

 arsenate of lead and lime-sulphur solu- 

 tion in order to start stimulation at this 

 time and prevent over stimulation and 

 sulphur injury later in the season.) 



4. Ten-day spray. About ten davs 

 after the petals fall an aditional appli- 

 cation for scab control should be ap- 

 plied. Weather conditions will govern, 

 to some extent, the material to be used. 

 If cool, rainy weather ijrevails at this 

 time, use lime-sulphur solution diluted 

 at the rate of four gallons for each 200- 

 gallon tank of spray. If the weather is 

 reasonably clear and warm, use atomic 

 sul|)hur at the rate of twenty-four 

 pounils for each 200-gallon tank of 

 spray, as this material is less likelv to 

 iniure the fruit and foliage than lime- 

 .sulphur solution under these conditions. 



5. Thirty-day spray. Use the follow- 

 ing combination: Atomic sulphur, 24 

 pounds; arsenate lead paste, 8 pounds; 

 water to make 200 gallons. This is 

 the second spray for codling moth con- 

 trol, the fourth spray for scab control 

 and the final sijray, under normal con- 

 ditions, for mildew control. (If very 

 hot weather prevails at this time, use 

 twenty pounds of atomic sulphur in- 

 stead of twenty-four pounds for each 

 200-gallon tank.) 



5a. If cool rainy weather prevails be- 

 tween June 10 and 20 make an addi- 

 tional scab sprav, using atomic sulphur 

 ten [)ounds to 100 gallons of water. 



6. Third codling-moth spray. This 

 should usually be applied in early 

 August. Use arsenate of lead paste at 

 the rate of eight pounds for each 200- 

 gallon tank of spray. Either atomic 

 sulphur twenty pounds to 200 gallons 

 of water for scab control, or Bordeaux 

 mixture jiaste six and a half ])ounds to 

 100 gallons of water, or Bordeaux home 

 made 4-4-,^fl, may be condiined with the 

 arsenate of lead at this time as further 

 protection against scab and anthrac- 

 nose development. Properly balanced 

 Bordeaux mixture is safe to use on most 

 varieties of apples at this time, and in 

 all orchards where anthracnose is 

 likely to appear, Bordeaux mixture 

 .should be used at this time in addition 

 to the early fall application recom- 

 mended for the control of this disease. 

 Too much em])hasis cannot be put on 

 the necessity for thoroughness and the 

 proper timing of this work in every de- 

 tail. Fruit growers know by this time 

 what to exi)ect by attempting economy 

 in omitting one or more of these sprays 



A Plain Statement of Fact 



Mogul 8-16: $725 Cash f. o. b. Chicago 



AT the present prices of gasoline and kerosene, 

 no farmer can afford to use a gasoline 



tractor. Gasoline averages now over 100 per cent 

 higher in price than kerosene and is likely to go higher rather 

 than lower, iu the opinions of men who know ttie oil business. 



Again, it is neiLher safe nor economical to use kerosene ia 

 a tractor not specially designed to operate on kerosene. Merely 

 changing the fuel mixer is not enough; the design of the whole 

 motor must be changed. 



Kerosene and gasoline tractors of equal power sell for about 

 the same price and use practically the same amounts of fuel. 

 On that basis a Mogul 8-16 tractor saves each year, iu fuel bills 

 alone, about a third of its price. The figures prove the truth of 

 this statement. 



If you are considering the purchase of a tractor this year, 

 give these facts careful study, from every point of view, before 

 you spend }-our money. 



Mogul and Titan tractors are designed specially to operate on 

 kerosene and to give tlieir users the full benefit of this advantage. 

 There are four sizes — Mogul 8-16 and 12-25, Titan 15-30 and 

 30-60. Write us for full information before you buy any tractor.
