HAMPSHIRE COUNTY FARMERS' MONTHLY 



m 



chards sprayed thoroughly and orchards 

 sprayed in a hap-hazard manner. Thor- 

 ough spraying means covering evejy part 

 of the tree with a film of spray mater- 

 ial,— ^very twig, and both sides of every 

 leaf. To do this, we must have proper 

 equipment. A pressure of at least 250 

 pounds and a nozzle which will deliver a 

 mist ai-e almost essential for this pur- 

 pose. 



It goes without saying that proper 

 materials constitute another of the big- 

 factors in pest control. The spray pro- 

 gram recommended by the M. A. C. in- 

 clude those materials which have been 

 found to be most effective in combatting 

 each pest. 



We need to study our orchards, know 

 the pests we are likely to have, and then 

 follow out the spray schedule. There is 

 not so much need for new weapons as 

 there is for more effective use of the 

 materials and equipment at hand.

Mistakes 



When a Plumber makes a mistake, he 

 charges twice for it. 



When a Lawyer makes a mistake, he 

 has a chance to try the case again. 



When a Carpenter makes a mistake, it 

 is just what he expected. 



When a Preacher makes a mistake, no- 

 body knows the diffeience. 



When a Doctor makes a mistake, he 

 buries it. 



But when a County Agent makes a 

 mistake, Good Night !

QUALITY CROPS PAY !

Whether you specialize in Tobacco, Onions or Fruit, or whether you I 



grow general faim and garden crops, you do not need to fear over- j 



production and low prices if your product is of high quality. The analy- j 



sis of a Fertilizer alone is not a true indication of its ability to grow a i 



quality crop. The selection of materials and the proportions in which = 



they are combined are quite as important. The high quality of all our ! 



Fertilizer Mixtures will be reflected in the quality of your crop. j
