ORCHARD SPRAYING EXPERI- 

 MENTS. 



The Maine Agricultural Experiment 

 Station has issued under the above title 

 Bulletin 198, which is the second of a 

 series giving the results of spraying 

 with fungicides and insecticides of the 

 apple. The work of 1911 is preceded by 

 a condensed account of similar experi- 

 ments of the season of 1910. The 1911 

 experiments are discussed under two 

 heads : Those carried on at Highmoor 

 Farm, and co-operative experiment in 

 the orchards of three practical fruit 

 growers in the town of Greene. The 

 results in both places were practically 

 alike. 



An appendix gives the latest formula 

 for making the stock lime-sulphur con- 

 centrate, with the dilution table and 

 directions for using the latter. 



A copy of Bulletin 198 will be sent to 

 any resident of Maine on request to 

 Director Chas. D. Woods, Orono, Me. 

 To non-residents of Maine the price is 

 10 cents, which must be sent in coin or 

 other currency. Postage stamps are not 

 accepted.

Buy I H C Wagons for True Economy 



YOU cannot farm without a wagon any more than you can keep 

 house without a stove. It is something you need every day. You 

 work it harder than anything else on the farm, and when the old 

 one wears out you have to get a new one at once. 



Figure out how many bushels of corn, wheat, or oats, or how many 

 bales of cotton it takes to keep you in wagons, and then see how much 

 you save when you buy a wagon that lasts longer than the average. 



It is an easy thing to do, even though all wagons which are painted 

 alike look alike. The difference in wagons is underneath the paint. It 

 is the material and workmanship, as well as the paint of I H C wagons, 



Weber New Bettendorf Steel King 



which make them the best wagon investment for any farmer. 



We tell you plainly what material goes into every part of our wagons, 

 and we want every purchaser to convince himself before buying, that 

 when I H C wagons are advertised as having oak hubs, hickory axles, 

 and long leaf yellow pine box bottoms, these are the materials actually 

 used. 



Such care is taken in the construction of the I H C wagons and in 

 the culling of the materials which go into them, that when a wagon 

 reaches a farmer's barn, that farmer has one of the best wearing, 

 easiest running farm wagons that skilled labor can make or that money 

 can buy. There is no need to speculate in buying a wagon. Wear and 

 tear and length of service are the points to go by. I H C wagons are 

 made for nation-wide uses, with special features adapted to local condi- 

 tions. Wherever sold they are right, and ready for use in that locality. 

 The I H C wagon dealer in your town sells the wagon best suited to your 

 neighborhood. Ask him to go over the wagons with you. Weber wag- 

 ons have wood gears. New Bettendorf and Steel King have steel gears. 

 Ask him for I H C wagon literature, or write the nearest branch 

 house.
