INSECTICIDES AND FUNGICIDES 



PRICES SUBJECT TO CHA>GE WITHOC T NOTICE. 



Spraying is an insurance, and every fruit-grower and 

 gardener should insure himself against failures in order to 

 succeed. In some seasons spraying may seem useless, but the 

 next sea.^on will produce results that will repay him for the at- 

 tention given. Spraying must be done thoroughly to be effec- 

 tive. It should not be done without the knowledge as to the 

 nature of the insects and how they destroy. These mav be 

 divided into two classe.s. viz., (I) leaf eating. (2) sucking. 

 Both require separate treatments. The leaf eating caterpillars, 

 potato-bugs, etc., require a stomach poison, which is sprayed 

 on to the plant and intended to be eaten. The sucking insects, 

 plant lice, aphides, etc., require a contact poison such as the 

 Tobacco Extracts, Kerosene Emulsion, etc., whereby their en- 

 tire body is covered with an irritant and their breathing pores 

 closed. , 



The fungicides listed are to be used for plant diseases. The 



cheapest and most effective iivay to combat these is to spray 



early in the season and prevent same. Fruit trees, potatoes, 



tomatoes, beans, etc., thus treated will thrive, where others fail.

YOU GET BIGGER CROPS FROM CORRECTED SOILS 



TEST AND CORRECT EVERY FIELD BEFORE PLANTING. 

 The "BIG CROP" Soil Test tells you whether or not any piece of land is in the proper condi- 

 tion to produce a "BIG CROP." It tells in a few minutes and at the cost of 2 cents per field, how 

 to insure the biggest results from lime and manure at the lowest cost. In detail will tell you; 

 Whether or not your soil needs lime and how much per acre. 

 Whether or not manure (organic matter) is needed. 

 Whetlier or not your soil needs inoculation for alfalfa, clovers, cow peas, soy beans vetch 



and other legumes. 

 "O'liere and ■where not green manuring -svill pay. 

 ' Which fields of your farm are best adapted to alfalfa, clovers, grain, corn, potatoes, beets, etc. 

 Where and where not to apply chemical fertilizers and how to use them at the least possible 



loss through leaching. 

 How to build up worn thin neglected soil prop- 

 erly and systematically. 

 In sliort it will answer all questions as to put 

 your land ^n the best condition for bigger 

 crops and lasting soil fertility. 

 Lime and manure (organic matter) are the most 

 important "BIG CROP" makers in the soils. If the 

 soil runs short in these soil elements, crop yields 

 run sliort also. Every crop eats up lime and ma- 

 nure, every rain washes lime and manure out of tlie 

 soil. No two soils contain the same proportions of 

 linie and manure, therefore every acre is different 

 from the other and varies each year. These facts 

 make frequent testing of every acre of a farm an 

 absolute necessity for a uniform crop success.
