BETTER FRUIT 



January, 1021 



THE NIAGARA DUSTER — THE CROP PROTECTOR 



The DUSTING METHOD becoming better understood, is being adopted 

 by many of the progressive growers in Oregon and Washington, and of 

 course, they use the NIAGARA DUSTER. 



A County Agent in the State of Washington writes, under date of Novem- 

 ber 4, 1920: "We used this machine on 160 acres of apples and came 

 through with less than 2% codling moth infestation. This is the smallest 

 amount of infestation that has been observed in this orchard since it 

 came into bearing." 



An Oregon grower packed 20,000 boxes apples with less than ten boxes 

 affected with worms. 



You, too, will join the Duster boosters, but right now you need a STRONG, 

 RELIARLE, SULPHUR SPRAY. 



Niagara Soluble Sulphur 



leads the world in sulphur sprays. Equally effective as lime-sulphur 

 solution, — double the value of dry lime-sulphur, — costs less than either. 

 Excels in control of SCALE, MOSS, PEACH BLIGHT, CURL LEAF, etc. 

 If you can not get NIAGARA SOLUBLE SULPHUR locally and at the 

 right price, write me. I will see that you get it and get it RIGHT.

Better Seeds -Bigger* Yields 



Land is worth too much to let any of it go to waste, and labor is worth too much 

 to experiment with uncertain trees and seeds. Plant good field and garden seeds, and be sure 

 to have plenty of small fruits. They will pay you.

Perfection Currant— In my garden this is the best bearer, the largest, sweetest and 

 easiest to pick. Kieh, rnild flavor, less acid and few seeds. 

 Sugar Beets— Every farmer should plant a small patch and make his own syrup. Easily grown and syrup 

 easily made. For stock feeding Sugar Beets are superior to Mangels. 

 Kherson Outs— Ripens twoor three weeks earlier. Stiffer straw, that will stand strong winds with-

Stock Influence on Scion, Etc. 



Continued from page 4. 



changes are the indirect result of a par- 

 ticular stock or the direct effect of the 

 complicated changes wrought by the 

 environment. Opinions on these re- 

 main still very vague and contradictory. 



As early as 1879 Budd reported that 

 he had many pages of evidence aceumu- 

 lated in his files stating that the stock 

 of top grafted apples has an influence 

 not only in respect to hardiness and 

 thrift of the scion, but the size, flavor 

 and quality of fruit in particular. 



Much, though very scattered and con- 

 tradictory, opinion on this question is 

 to be found in the transactions of many 

 state horticultural societies. These evi- 

 dences are, however, too unreliable to 

 be marshaled as facts from which gen- 

 eral conclusions could be drawn. 



1. In respect to particular influences, 

 Hedrick thinks that the color of the 

 fruit may be changed by the stock, but 

 that this cannot take place in respect to 

 the characteristic color of the fruit. 

 The color is brightened or diminished 

 by the earliness or lateness of maturity 

 of the wood, which can be influenced 

 by the stock. As a particular instance 

 he refers again to the orchard of Mc- 

 intosh apples top grafted on Oldenburg, 

 which matured its fruit nearly two 

 weeks earlier than Mcintosh on stan- 

 dard stocks, and, therefore, were much 

 brighter in color. 



2. There is hardly any doubt that the 

 size of fruit is in some cases increased 

 as a result of top working. Any bene- 

 ficial influence exerted by the stock on 

 the scion in respect to health and in- 

 crease in vigor will show itself most 

 readily in an increased size of the fruit.
