which may result to the trees, twigs or 

 fruit buds, and several seasons' expe- 

 rience will be necessary before a final 

 decision on this question can be 

 reached. In view of the experience in 

 spraying citrus trees in foliage with 

 one per cent of oil, it is felt that dor- 

 mant deciduous trees will probably 

 stand without injury one annual treat- 

 ment containing two per cent of oil. 

 The following directions for making 

 the stock emulsion are given: 



Red engine oil, or oil of similar grade. 1 gallon 



Water H gallon 



Potash flsh-oU soap 1 pound 



The oil, water and soap are placed in 

 a kettle or other receptacle and heated 

 until the contents come to a boil. A 

 brown scum appears on the surface of 

 the mixture as it first begins to boil. 

 After boiling for a few minutes the 

 brown scum begins to disappear and at 

 this stage the kettle is removed from 

 the fire and the entire mixture is 

 pumped twice under pressure of about 

 sixty pounds while still quite hot. A 

 proper emulsion cannot be made by 

 stirring, nor should the mixture be al- 

 lowed to cool before it is pumped. Too 

 much pumping will often break up the 

 emulsion. During pumping, ordinary 

 pump packing is burned up rather quick- 

 ly by the hot oil mixture. For making 

 the stock emulsion on a large scale an 

 all-metal pump would be necessary. 



The stock emulsion contains sixty- 

 six and two-thirds per cent of oil. To 

 make a two per cent emulsion for use 

 in a 200-gallon spray tank it is neces- 

 sary to use six gallons of the stock 

 emulsion. 



Precaution should be taken to pre- 

 vent the stock emulsion from freezing, 

 which occurs at a temperature of about 

 15 degrees Fahrenheit above zero. 



In case difficulty is experienced in 

 making a proper emulsion, due to hard- 

 ness of the water, the water used should 

 be softened by the addition of one 

 pound of caustic soda or lye per hun- 

 dred gallons of diluted spray. The 

 caustic soda should be dissolved in two 

 or three gallons of water and then 

 added to the spray tank and thoroughly 

 stirred, after which the proper quan- 

 tity of stock emulsion can be added. 



Any one of the following, or simil.ar 

 oils, may be used, some one or more of 

 which can doubtless be obtained in 

 most parts of the country: Diamond 

 paraffin oil, 180 red neutral, Jr. red en- 

 gine oil, Nabob oil. 



DOES PRUNING LESSEN YIELD? 



Orchard men at Cornell have found 

 by experiment that the pruning of young 

 fruit trees is detrimental to the growth 

 of the trees and to their yielding capac- 

 ity when they reach maturity. It is con-
