for a decision concerning tlie suita- 

 bility of a remedy have Ijeen very ob- 

 scure and the subject of nuicti specula- 

 tion. Conllicting results liave been 

 very often obtained witliout apparent 

 cause. The weather, the method, the 

 remedy and the time of application 

 have all been blamed as the cause of 

 failures. These are doubtless all great 

 factors influencing the success of 

 spraying practice. Chemical advice has 

 sometimes been asked and some of the 

 points elucidated. This advice is fre- 

 quently given after making some simple 

 laboratory tests without any very ex- 

 tended investigation. The chemist's 

 time and attention is usually well occu- 

 pied in the investigation of other prob- 

 lems and his assistance is given by way 

 of making a few deternunations to con- 

 firm theories and work of this charac- 

 ter is gotten out of the way as soon as 

 possible in order to go on with the 

 regular work. Of recent years the need 

 of chemical aid has become more and 

 more apparent to assist in the solution 

 of some of the vexing problems that 

 confront the worker in this line of 

 activity. Much of the work incident to 

 the administi'ation of the federal in- 

 secticide law and the insecticide and 

 fungicide laws in operation in a dozen 

 of more states is of a chemical nature, 

 and has created an absolute necessity 

 for a more comprehensive knowledge 

 of the materials which these laws seek 

 to control. And so there are now a 

 few chemists who are devoting consid- 

 erable time to the study of insecticides 

 and fungicides and valuable articles 

 are beginning to appear, written fi-om 

 their standpoint. Most of their time 

 must necessarily be devoted to the 

 origination and perfection of methods 

 of analysis, but it is to be anticipated 

 that our knowledge of these important 

 agricultural materials may be greatly

Will the Blizzard Iast7 



Well, it looks that way 



How long will a Blizzard Ensilage Cutter last? Nobody knows. 

 Blizzards haven't been on the market long enough to wear out. 

 Most of the Blizzards — the original blower cutters — built 12 

 13, 11 years ago, are still going. James S. Wilson & Bro. of 

 Paris, Ky., have a customer who has used a Blizzard fourteen 

 years — without one penny repair cost. The 



BUZZARD 



Ensilage 

 Cutter 



is built to last. It is very simple. Little to get out of order or to 

 cause repair cost. The parts that wear can be replaced at small cost 

 No other cutter so durable. 



Big results with small power 



A farmer's reRuKir farm cnitine will rim 

 the Blizzard, handle tlie com fast as the 

 corn can be fed to the machine, and 



hustle it to the top of any silo, no mat- 

 ter what its heiglit is. Mal<es even-cut
