The Logical Tractor For 

 Orchard Work 



THE Avery 5-10 H. P. and 8-16 H. P. Tractors give you the 

 ideal power for orchard cultivating. Low enough for good 

 clearance under the trees and powerful enough to pull a usual size Cultiva- 

 tor. They are built for tractor work. 



The Avery S-10 H. P. Tractor is the 

 lowest priced tractor built. It sells 

 for $550.00 f.o.b. Peoria. It is just 

 the thing for doing all the work on 

 small farms and the light belt and 

 traction work on large farms. 



The Avery 8-16 H.P. Tractor has the 

 Avery Perfected Opposed Motor and 

 patented sliding frame transmission. 

 This motor is said to be the "Finest 

 Power Plant on Wheels." It is equip- 

 ped with renewable inner cylinder 



walls, adjustable crankshaft bear- 

 ings, gasitiers that turn kerosene 

 ordistillate into gas and burn it ALL, 

 and many other exclusive features. 



The complete Avery line also in- 

 cludes four larger sizes of tractors — 

 a size for every size farm — the Avery 

 Motor Cultivator, and a size .grain 

 thresher and plow for every size 

 tractor. Write for new, complete 1919

CHEAPER THAN A WHIP 

 ABETTER FOR YOUR HORSES 



A horse with bruised, galled and 

 chafed neck or shoulders can't earn 

 his feed. Whipping only increases 



his suffering'. You can prevent such injuries 

 for less than the price of a good whip. 

 Equip your faithful animal with Tapatco — 

 The pad made with our 



NEW PATENTED HOOK ATTACHMENT 



(Found Only on P&ds Made by Us.) 



Consists of wire staple with felt washer. 

 It gives hook a firmer hold and prevents 

 pulling off, even though fabric is weak- 

 ened by long usage. Life of pad is thus ma- 

 terially lengthened. This is the greatest im- 

 provement since we invented the hook. 



STUFFED COLLAR PADS 



Filled with our Special Composite Stuffinc 



are better than other kinds. They are soft, 

 springy, absorbent and serve as a truarantee 

 against bruised, galled and chafed shoulders. 

 Ask your dealer for Tapatco Booklet.

no other nialerial than lime-sulphur 

 was used in the experiments in 1917. 

 The object of the work was to deter- 

 mine how many applications are neces- 

 sary to give satisfactory control of 

 anthracnose. 



Applications were made at three 

 periods and are dcsij^nated as follows: 



1. Dormant. Before growth started. 



2. First summer. When new shoots 

 were six to ten inches high. 



3. Second summer. Just before the 

 blooming period. 



For the dormant application the lirae- 

 sulphur was diluted at the rate of 2 

 gallons in 50, and for the summer appli- 

 cations at the rate of 1% gallons in 50. 



The field was divided into six plots, 

 each plot being sprayed at the periods 

 indicated below. Each plot consisted 

 of three full rows except the unsprayed 

 plot, which had only one row. 



Plot 1 — Dormant application only. 



Plot 2 — Dormant and first summer 

 applications. 



Plot 3 — Dormant, first and second 

 summer applications. 



Plot 4 — First and second sunmier ap- 

 plications. 



Plot 5 — First summer application. 



Plot 6 — Unsprayed. 



The control in 1917, even when three 

 applications were made, was not quite 

 so good as was secured in 1914 and 1915, 

 with three applications of lime-sulphur. 

 There was a rank growth of June grass 

 well up around the canes. The soil 

 between the rows was cultivated, but 

 the grass in the rows was not cleaned 

 out. This condition was undoubtedly 

 responsible for the poorer control, as 

 moisture was held in the rank growth 

 of grass. 



In spite of the unfavorable conditions 

 the control in some plots was very 

 satisfactory. It had been planned to 

 make definite counts of diseased canes 

 by the undesirable cultural conditions. 

 A general statement of the condition of 

 the canes in each plot follows: 



Plot 3, which was sprayed three 

 times, showed very little anthracnose. 



Plot 2, which had the first two ap- 

 plications, and plot 4, which had the 

 second and third applications, both 

 showed slightly more anthracnose than 

 plot 3. 



Plot 1, which had only the dormant 

 application and plot 5 only the first 

 summer application, were diseased 

 somewhat worse than plots 2 and 4, 

 but their condition was much better 

 than that of the unsprayed row. 



In the unsprayed row nearly all the 

 canes were badly spotted with an- 

 thracnose. 



Three applications gave satisfactory 

 results. Two applications, regardless 

 of the time made, failed to give results 

 as good as were secured with three 

 applications. One application, either 

 before or after growth started, showed 

 some results, but not so good as when 

 sprayed a greater number of times. 



The results of these experiments 

 show that anthracnose on black rasp- 

 berries can be satisfactorily controlled 

 with lime-sulphur. To insure success 

 at least three applications should be 

 made, as follows:
