Spraying Pays 



Tor gardens,

BECAUSE it saves your original investment so 

 that it can produce at a profit each year. 



BECAUSE it keeps trees and plants healthy so that 

 they not only produce regnlarly but you get a larger, more 

 uniform and better quality crop. 



BECAUSE only sprayed trees, for instance, 



produce uniformly good fruit, amd good fruit 



brings a fair price at any time. aTgallon Sprayer 



BECAUSE it keeps stock quarters healthful, and 

 prevents infection and spread of disease. An ounce of 

 prevention beats a pound of cure any day. 



It inot only pays to spray, but it pays to do it thor- 

 oughly, with first-class machinery, and with the right 

 machine for each purpose. 



50 gallon capacity ^^e built with that choice in view— a large number (70) of 

 styles and combinations, most of which can grow to more 

 convenient and more efficient uses, amd greater power, for 

 future growth in your spraying operations. 



There are in this line Power Sprayers (50, 100, 150, and 

 250 gallons). Horizontal Barrel Sprayers (20, 50, and IOC gal- 

 lons). Vertical Barrel Sprayers (50 gallons, mounted or other- 

 wise). Bucket, Knapsack, and Hand Sprayers, and Traction 

 Sprayers for field use in row crops. 



Outside Pumps, high pressure, bronze ball 

 valves, hemp packing, all partsi easily got at, 

 solutions touch brass parts only, thorough 

 mixing, a fine system of straining sediment, 

 nozzles that put the spray on as it should be 

 and nozzle strainers for further protection — 

 these things characterize Iron Age Sprayers 

 throughout. 



We have agencies in all parts of the country with 

 the most intelligent dealers. See the nearest one 

 and m the meantime write us for "Spray" booklet 

 and a spraying guide.

minimum price would have been $1.75 per

We shipped to the Canadian west 13,211 

 barrels and 1,200 boxes of Graven steins. 

 The total shipments to the Canadian west 

 were 21,631 barrels. 



We regret, however, that we have had 

 some trouble with the apples shipped to 

 supply these orders. We know that the 

 ap))les sent were a first-class pack, but the 

 grain growers were mot satisfied. They were 

 accustomed to the larger, higher colored 

 apples of Ontario and the west, and con- 

 sidered our greener and smaller apples an 

 inferior pack. At first we anticipated seri- 

 ous trouble in getting a settlement, but we 

 were able to gel the whole matter adjust- 

 ed with vcr\' minor allowances. 



The Nova Scotia apple industry has 

 mt^ch to be proud of. Fertilizers, seeds, 

 spraying materials, etc., and other essen- 

 tials of the orcharding business are pro- 

 cured here for less money than elsewhere 

 in the Dominion, and a, better return has 

 been secured for the crop than in any other 

 province in the Dominion. These two great 

 facts are irrefutable, and are a standing 

 testimony of the success of cooperative cen- 

 tralization. 



We have also sent a strong protest to the 

 powers that be at Ottawa against the heavy 

 duties now being imposed on certain spray- 

 ing materials and fertilizers, and are using 

 all legitimate means to have such duties 

 on the farmers' raw material removed. 



Western Growers Plan for the 

 Future 



The Okanagan (B.C.) United Growers, 

 Ltd., have submitted a plan of action to 

 the shareholders of the fruit unions identi- 

 fied with them, which contains much of 

 interest to fruit growers in other districts 

 as well. 



EXTEND THE P.i^RCELS POST 



"Whereas the growing of fruit, both in 

 the eastern and western provinces has be- 

 come one of Canada's leading industries, 

 and whereas the returns from this busi- 

 ness, particularly the growing of soft 

 fruits, have become so unsatisfactory as 

 to threaten the very existence of the in- 

 dustry ; 



".And whereas this state of affairs is not 

 due so much to the want of a market, which 

 is ample, nor to the prices paid by con- 

 sumers, which are generally reasonable, 

 but rather to a combination of excessive 

 or unnecessary charges between the grower 

 and the consumer, the result being that 

 when boxing charges, freight or express 

 rates, commissions to selling agencies, 

 brokers, jobbers and wholesalers have been 

 satisfied, but a small percentage, and 

 sometimes nothing whatever of the selling 

 price remains for the grower ; 



"And whereas in the opinion of this in- 

 stitute this state of affairs can somewhat 

 be remedied by bringing the grower as 

 nearly as possible into direct contact with 

 the consumer by means of a parcels post 

 system ; 



"Therefore be it resolved that the Gov- 

 ernment of the Dominion of Canada be, 

 and is hereby petitioned to amend the pre- 

 sent parcels post system ; 1st, by increas- 

 ing the weight of the parcel to at least 

 twenty-five pounds : 2nd, by granting a 

 special rate on fruit during the shipping 

 season ; the said rate not to exceed one 

 cent per pound, and to cover at least three 

 provinces outside that in which the fruit 

 is grown."
