How to 

 Use the 



KIMBALL 

 CULTIVATOR 



to keep your Orchard 

 in Perfect Condition 



7 



THE first thing in the spring, as soon as the 

 ground is dry enough, it should be well 

 plowed or disced both ways, or diagonally 

 if the trees are planted in that manner. 



The rest of the season nothing is needed 

 but the KIMBALL, which should be run over 

 the ground at least twice each month during 

 the summer, or as soon as the ground is dry 

 enough after a hard rain, or after irrigation. 

 This will break up the crust and stop evap- 

 oration, for when the soil bakes and opens in 

 cincKs is the time of the greatest evaporation. 

 More cultivation and less irrigation will 

 produce better fruit, and it will keep longer 

 than where too much water is used. 



It is now for fruit growers to be thinking of how they Leiii keep their orchards in good shape at the least possible 

 expense. 



For this work there is nothing that will equal the Kimball Cultivator. 



While we know the fruit market is bad, we also know it will not always be in this condition, and the grower who neglects 

 to cultivate his orchard at this time will lose the years of labor he has already put in on it, for an orchard that is not culti- 

 vated is soon a total loss. 



Therefore get a Kimball and continue the good work.

Dow Arsenate of Lead 



is more in demand this season than ever before. Frnit growers 

 have learned that this material is finer, smoother, more uniform in 

 test and texture and consequently gives the best results. It is easily 

 mixed with water, remains well in suspension and sticks where it 

 is sprayed. 



Dow Arsenate of Lead is used not only in the United States, but 

 in foreign fruit growing countries, and we believe our production 

 and manufacturing facilities the largest in the country. The State 

 of Massachusetts has used it for two years past and we have their 

 contract for 1915. Their requirements are close to One and One- 

 Half ^Million pounds per annum. 



Insist on the Doic Brand. It is different.
