Miscible Oils and 

 Leaf Roller 



{C.onti?:iieil jrrrm fage 8) 

 carload of this oil was used in leaf-roller 

 infested orchards during the season of 1921 

 with very good results. 



Universal Brand Dormant Soluble Oil 

 give fair results in the second spring spray- 

 ing, but very poor results in the winter and 

 first spring spraying. It also caused some 

 spray injury and the injury to the foliage 

 resulting from the work of the leaf-roller 

 larv.-e was enough to give all the trees a 

 r.igged appearance. 



Scalecidc gave poor results in all tests. 

 In all the outdoor tests more than half the 

 eggs hatched and the foli.age was severely 

 injured by the leaf-roller larv.-c. Consider 

 able spray injury also resulted from the use 

 of this oil. It is difficult to explain the 

 poor results secured with Scalecide when 

 we consider that workers in other states 

 l.ave used it against the leaf-roller with 

 marked success. The manufacturers sup- 

 ;;csted that the poor results in the winter 

 ';piaying tests miglit be due ti. the f .tt that 

 we first mixed the oil with an equal amount 

 of water, thoroughly agitated it, and then 

 added the remainder of the water instead 

 of folloiving their directions and adding 

 the concentrated oil to the full amount of 

 water. In the two spring sprayings the 

 manufacturer's instructions were carried 

 out to the letter, but with no better results. 



Spra-Mulsion, even though it was used 

 much stronger than any of the other oils, 

 gave very poor results. Great numbers of 



the eggs hatched and every leaf on all the 

 trees was injured by the larvae, many 

 being reduced to stubs. 



Especially perfected for spreading LIME SULPHUR Sprays. 

 "EMIJLSO" carries the lime sulphur into every crack and crevice, completely destroying all 



scale and leaving none to carry over to blotch the fruit. 

 "EMULSO" will enable you to cover approximately one-third more trees with the same 



amount of spray. How much spray will this save you? How much labor expense? 

 "EMLII^SO" protects the face and hands from the burning effect of lime sulphur, an item 



that interests every man behind the spray gun. 

 Field results will show the advantages of "EMULSO'" with LIME SULPHUR sprays over 



any other type of spreader.
