about Atomic sulphur last spring what I now know, I am 

 satisfied I should have had $1,500 more fruit." 



Excuse me for reading another letter from Daniel R. 

 Freedman : "I have been using the preparation furnished by 

 you known as Atomic sulphur, and would like to know more 

 about it." 



Prof. John B. Smith of New Jersey, writes, "I have har- 

 vested my crop of peaches and never had a cleaner lot of

 will be interested to learn that Mr. Blake has had the same 

 experience." It is a very strong statement for an experiment

Mr. Frost, Arlington, IMass. : I don't know just exact- 

 ly what to say. I have examined a great many orchards in 

 Massachusetts and Connecticut which had been sprayed with 

 different materials, but the results were so contrary to what 

 I expected, that I made up my mind not to publish anv of 

 the notes, but while }0u were talking about pressure, I want 

 to speak of one experiment which we made. We had a lot 

 of asparagus in Massachusetts to spray, and found a great
