BETTER FRUIT

machines were used. The only answer 

 which can be applied to this condition 

 is that the fruit was not sprayed 

 thoroughly. 



In checking up the experiments 

 wormy apples were classified accord- 

 ing to the location of worm entrance; 

 that is, whether the worm had entered 

 the fruit through the side or calyx. 

 Classification of this sort has been 

 carried on in the dust blocks as well, 

 in order to get a line on the actual need 

 of a driving spray. The writer has con- 

 tended for many years that the idea of 

 forcing spray to the bottoms of the 

 calyx cups was, in the case of the 

 majority of young fruits on the tree, 

 unattainable and as a matter of fact 

 not obtained, regardless of the fact that 

 many entomologists still advocate the 

 absolute need of a spray of this type. 

 The fact that we get good control of 

 calyx worms through the use of the 

 dust and the spray gun, particles of 

 spray in the case of the latter being 

 broken up before reaching the majority 

 of young apples, indicates clearly that 

 the fine misty application carries with 

 it greater effectiveness than the coarse 

 splattering spray so often advocated for 

 the calyx spray. 



As an example of the effect of the 

 dust or a mist application for the con-

Get Your Irrigated Farm 

 From the Canadian Pacific 



I 



N a climate not excelled by any agricultural 

 area in America you can own a fine, rich farm 

 of your own. The Canadian Pacific Railway offers 

 you this opportunity to achieve independence 

 and grow rich — in Western Canada. The lands 

 offered are in the largest and most substantial 

 irrigation undertaking in the Continent. The 

 price is only $50 an acre — some for less. 



fee of from 50c to $1.25 per acre 

 forthe maintenance of the system 

 and the delivery of the water. Ir- 

 rigation here is not an experiment. 



Why an Irrigated Farm? 



Because irrigation in Southern 



Alberta 



— insures crops every year 



— increases crops every year 



— makes you practically inde- 

 pendent of weather conditions 



— produces great quantities of 

 coarse grains, pasture, alfalfa, 

 roots, thus developing the live 

 stock industry which is safer 

 and ultimately more profitable 

 than wheat farming 



— tends toward close settlement, 

 well cultivated farms, good 

 neighbors, good roads, schools, 

 churches, telephones, mail de- 

 livery, co-operative marketing, 

 and a high standard of com- 

 munity life. 



Twenty Years to Pay 



You pay down 10% and have 20 

 years in which to pay the re- 

 mainder. The first crop is often 

 worth more than the total cost 

 of the lands. 



$2,000 Loaned to Farmer 



Loans of 82,000 in improvements 

 are made to approved settlers on 

 irrigated farms with no security 

 except the land itself. You can 

 take 20 years to repay this loan 

 at 6% interest. 



Irrigation, Crop Insurance 



This land is not arid but produc- 

 tion can be greatly increased by 

 irrigation. There is an unfailing 

 supply of water which is admin- 

 istered under the direction of 

 the Canadian Government. The 

 provinces have no control over it 

 and there is no conflict of law or 

 authority over its use. The water 

 is free, the only charge being a 



TheOpportunity for You 



The Canadian Pacific Railway knowa that 

 its prosperity depends on tbc prosperity of 

 the eettlcraalongils lines. Betause it wants 

 good settlers it is willing to sell its lands 

 at these remarkable prices and terms.

trol of calyx worms the following 

 figures are available: In a block of 

 Newtowns in 1917 the following ratio 

 of calyx and side worms occurred: On 

 the unsprayed check trees 33 per cent 

 of the worms entered the calyx, 66 per 

 cent the side. In the dust block 100 

 per cent of the worms entered the side 

 of the fruit. In an adjoining block of 

 sprayed trees, using a fine mist, the 

 ratio was 14 per cent calyx entrants, 

 86 per cent side worms. During that 

 same year in an orchard of Arkansas 

 Blacks the following figures were 

 taken: Unsprayed check trees, calyx 

 worms 68 per cent, side worms 32 per 

 cent. Dust block, 28 per cent calyx 

 entrants, 71 per cent side. Sprayed 

 block, mist application, 20 per cent 

 calyx and 80 per cent side entrants. 

 In 1918 where the gun was used the 



ratio was found to be 1 per cent calyx 

 entrants and 89 per cent side worms. 



In the use of the spray gun through- 

 out the Hood River Valley during the 

 past season, it appeared to the writer 

 that for the most part more effective 

 work was accomplished with more 

 parts of the trees thoroughly coated 

 than has usually been attained with the 

 unwieldy spray rod. Growers with 

 small outfits were inclined to neglect 

 the tops of the trees, while those grow- 

 ers using high-power machines often 

 over-sprayed the lower parts of the 

 trees. This over-application in the 

 earlier lime-sulphur sprays resulted in 

 considerable defoliation and foliage 

 burn. This action apparently had no 

 visible effect upon the fruit, as trees so 

 injured produced a full crop, recover- 

 ing their foliage completely during
