Spray Grapes Three Times 

 in July 



TF YOU want to have grapes of superior 



-^ quality, better than those which your 

 neighbors get on vines which receive no 

 attention, you must wage a persistent war 

 against the insects. 



Grape vines should be sprayed once every 

 ten days or two weeks from April to August. 

 If paris green, or arsenate of lead is com- 

 bined with the Bordeaux mixture all the more 

 important insect enemies of the grape will be 

 killed at the same time. 



The extra poison for the insects must be' 

 used at the rate of one half pound of paris 

 green, or two to three pounds of arsenate of 

 lead, to each barrel (50 gallons) of Bordeaux 

 mixture. 



Even before the grape buds open in early 

 spring, there are little, steel-blue colored flea

When this sort of thing is seen spray and burn 

 the leaves in the fall to destroy the grape-leaf rollers 



beetles, hungry after a long winter's fast, 

 which eagerly gnaw into the buds, and feed 

 upon the unfolding foliage. These flea 

 beetles hide their small white eggs in the 

 crevices of the bark of the vine, and from 



The grape-leaf roller caterpillar which develops into 

 a small blacK moth with white spotted wings 



them come small, brownish grubs which 

 feed upon the surfaces of the leaves. They 

 will soon disappear if the vines have been 

 well sprayed. 



With the first warm days of summer the 

 grape blossoms appear, upon which swarms 

 of rose bugs or chafers will light, preventing 

 the possibility of a crop, unless they are re- 

 moved at once. Where the chafers are very 

 abundant, as in New Jersey and Maryland, 

 the only satisfactory method is hand picking, 

 doing it twice a day, morning and evening. 

 Where the chafers are not numerous pro- 

 tection has been secured by several thorough

Home canning of vege- 

 tables, meat and fruit 

 made easy and certain 

 by The Economy Jar 



To give you an idea how easy- 

 it is to can fruits, soups, vege- 

 tables, meats, etc., in the Econ- 

 omy way — Note 

 the wide mouth 

 —how easy it is 

 to put your hand 

 in and thorough-

 jjj No rough seams

 clap on the gold-lac- € = -- ~^ 

 quered cap (acid- 

 proot). No screwing 

 twisting or prying. 

 Just press the cap on 

 gently. No bruises, 

 burns, cuts or sprains 

 when you use the 



f"*" — ^Economy. Put clamp 



von top to hold cap in 

 position while con- 

 tents are cooling. 

 The cooling forms a 

 vacuum and holds 

 cap on firmly. Jar is 

 then absolutely air- 

 tight. Next day re- 

 move clamp, which 

 lifts off lightly. If the food 

 was cooked enough cap is held 



tight by vacuum, and contents 

 cannot spoil, as no air can leak 

 in. If cap loosens, contents 

 were not cooked enough to ster- 

 ilize, and can be heated again 

 and saved. The Economy auto.

 away. When ready 

 to use, puncture cap 

 with can opener and
