PACIFIC TREE AND VINE 



Creamery Report. 



Joseph Saner. proiiriet<-»r of the Gait 

 Cieamery, supplies to the Gait "Ga- 

 zette" a report of the results of his es- 

 tablishment. He says: 



"Following are amounts patrons of 

 the Gait Creamery are receiving, rep- 

 resenting monthly cash payments. 

 These figures, however, do not show 

 all the farmer makes, as they do not 

 represent the resulting benefits of 

 skimmed milk that he takes home for 

 his calves and hogs. The present fig- 

 ures are arrived at by adding the cash 

 received to the market value of the 

 butter which each customer takes 

 home.

 and limbs remarkably well, even during 

 such exceptionally wet weather as we 

 had last Spring. 



In the tests more than seven hundred 

 trees, in five orchards scattered well 

 over the State, were treated with this 

 wash. Only in one instance, when the 

 foliage was too far advanced, was 

 there any injury to fruit, leaf or twig, 

 and ihis damage was slight. When 

 applied before the buds began to swell, 

 their opening was retarded a few days, 

 hut within two weeks or so all differ- 

 ence between treated and untreated 

 trees, in this respect, had disappeared, 

 but later the untreated trees continued 

 to lose vigor and healthfulness through 

 the work of the scale, while the treated 

 trees were practically cleared of the 

 pests.

Satisfactory Use of the Lime. Salt and 

 Sulphur Wash. 



In the West .especially in California, 

 where San Jose scale and similar in- 

 sects have been a great men.-ice to fruit 

 growing, the I.,ime-Sulphur-Salt wash 

 has become the dependable means of 

 repression. Tested in the Eeast, some 

 years ago. it received an unfavorable 

 report, as it seemed to wash off the 

 trees by rains before exerting much 

 destructive effect on the insects. But 

 tests made by the Station at Geneva, 

 during thf past se.nson. show that. 



together lorty pounds of lime, twenty 

 pounds of sulphur and fifteen pounds 

 of salt, in about thirty gallons of wa-

 water to make sixty gallons, and apply 

 while hot. using a powerful pump and 

 good nozzle. — Geneva Experiment Sta-
