THE STRAWBERRY MARCH 1907 



for $1.75 and $1.50. As each crate con- 

 tained twenty-four full quarts, it is easy 

 to figure that there was not much left for 

 profit after 10 percent and express charges 

 were deducted. 



While this was a great disappointment 

 to me, it was not so bad as the year before. 

 The fact that every dealer expressed his 

 desire to handle my berries the next season, 

 and wanted to engage them a year in ad- 

 vance, convinced me that "Beatty's Cele- 

 brated Berries" had made a record, and 

 by making different arrangements for the 

 selling of my fruit, I would soon have my 

 berry business on a fine paying basis.

Notes About Spraying 



BEFORE a gathering of Ohio far- 

 mers recently S. W. Huntley of 

 Vinton, in that state, gave an ad- 

 dress on spraying that contained many 

 important suggestions on that subject. 

 In the course of his remarks he observed 

 that scientists already have discovered 

 nearly 200 species of fungi, and said also 



A DEMING BARREL SPRAYER 



it was manifest that orchard pests were 

 increasing with the gradual decrease of 

 forest foliage. He went on to say that if 

 we would have success with next year's 

 crop of fruit we must keep this year's 

 foliage in a healthy condition. The leaves 

 are the lungs of the plant and they are 

 necessary to grow healthy wood and this 

 in turn precedes a crop of fruit. He said 

 by spraying you more than double the 

 crop of marketable apples; you intensify 

 the coloring; you add to the keeping qual- 

 ities by making more solid and sound 

 fruit; you also increase the size of fruit, 

 which is quite a consideration when sell- 

 ing time comes. Sprayed apples could 

 be eaten in the dark, as 90 per cent of 

 them would be free from codli'.ig moth. 

 Before spraying he advised his hearers to 

 get ready by scraping the trunks of trees 

 with a dull hoe; removing all surplus 

 branches and washing trunk with white- 

 wash. Next secure a strong, double-act- 

 ing, force pump. If one thinks the out- 

 lay too great, several neighbors should 

 combine and buy an outfit. For scab he
