zle you use. 



Mr. Henry. Personally, we use the Friend. Gould al- 

 so makes a very good nozzle. The Mystery, Jr., is a good 

 nozzle and there is one called the Angle Mist, made in Ro- 

 chester, giving a very good spray. There are a good many 

 good nozzles. There are a whole lot of good ones. 



Mr. Race. Do you always use the Y? 



Mr. Henry. Yes ; always an angle nozzle or Y. I have 

 never had any use for the straight nozzle. You can't af- 

 ford to walk around the tree when you can get a nozzle ta 

 do it by turning your hand. We just got hold of this an- 

 gle-Y the other day, and it is very handy. 



Mr. Race. ]\Ir. Henry told us that some oils would be 

 good and others not good and he didn't want to tell which. 

 He has told about the spray nozzles and perhaps he has got 

 so open minded that he will tell us which are good and 

 which are poor oils now. 



Mr. Henry. There are several good oils on the market 

 and there are several poor ones, as I have said. I have nev- 

 er heard anything against Mr. Pratt's Scalecide or Mr. 

 Frost's Arlington Oil; but I have heard a good many things 

 against one made in Martinsburg, Virginia, and I know 

 men that condemn all oil because they used that. It is 

 made in a dozen different ways. They have switched 

 around all the time and some lots has been good and some 

 lots have been poor and it has given oil a bad name and it 

 is a very unfortunate thing, because oil is a good insecticide 

 and the Pratt and Arlington and several others, I don't 

 think have done any harm. But you want to go mighty 

 slow, because whole orchards have been killed just as though 

 a cyclone Avent through them ; every tree killed. 



Dr. Gilson. Does the experiment station state some 

 that are valuable? 



Mr. Henry. Perhaps. I am not familiar. There are 

 several oils that have not been tried. Oil is very dangerous 

 unless it is made properly. 



A Member. I should like to ask about the Baldwin 

 spot. Is there any control for that? 



Mr. Henry. I don't know a thing about it. I don't 

 think any oil should be used when the weather is freezing. 

 If you apply it when it is cold or freezing, when the oil 

 dries it will injure the trees and some good oils have beerk
