Your fighting man will go to almost any 

 lengths to get good tobacco. Many a man 

 has paid $5 for less good tobacco than you 

 will send him in a pouch of Real Gravely 

 Chewing Plug. Only costs you 1 cents. 



Give any man a chew of Real Gravely Plug, and he will 

 tell you that's the kind to send. Send the best! 



Ordinary plug is false economy. It cost less per 

 week to chew Real Gravely, because a small chew of it 

 lasts a long while. 



If you smoke a pipe, slice Gravely with your knife 

 and add a little to your smoking tobacco. It will give 

 flavor — improve your smoke.

 while bordeaux will control only the 

 leaf curl. 



Probably the greatest drawback to 

 efTicient spraying has been that of rainy 

 and muddy weather. The progressive 

 grower, therefore, finds it important to 

 take advantage of the earliest spell of 

 good weather, when the condition of 

 the ground will permit, for his leaf- 

 curl spraying. Experiments have 

 shown that spraying as early as De- 

 cember in Oregon will bring successful 

 results, and that March is too late for 

 safety. Complete control cannot be 

 expected unless every bud on the tree 

 is thoroughly covered with the spray. 

 Many of the unsuccessful growers fail 

 because they spray at a tree with little 

 attention to the matter of how complete 

 a coating they are putting on. 



If fruit growers will continually bear 

 in mind the nature of this leaf-curl 

 disease and realize that it is easy to 

 control completely, if only the proper 

 precautions are taken in regard to 

 fighting it, there will be no more severe 

 epidemics in the future. Furthermore, 

 even the small outbreaks and minor 

 losses can be eliminated by the 

 proper application of the simple con- 

 trol measures.
