BETTER FRUIT 



February 



WE have just received an advance copy of the 

 January edition of the Fruit Grower, which 

 contains much interesting and valuable informa- 

 tion about spraying and other subjects in general. 

 The Fruit Grower is one of the oldest horticul- 

 tural papers, and has a very large circulation. 

 This edition contains S8 pages, with colored cover, 

 and is very attractively gotten up, and contains 



very interesting and valuable information for the 

 fruit grower. The Fruit Grower was originally 

 called the Western Fruit Grower, and by many 

 is still spoken of in this way. A large part of 

 this edition has been given to horticultural inter- 

 ests, with departments on beautifying of the home, 

 house building, a column for home folks, poultry 

 gossip, and so forth. We presume that the Fruit 



THE TOOL that SAVES a TOOL 



What Prof. 

 Bailey Says 



"The Double Ac- 

 t i o n 'Cutaway' 

 Harrow has been 

 satisfactory. I use 

 it almost continu- 

 ously on our hard 

 clay land with good 

 results." 



Why buy two t"ols when one will do two kinds 

 of work ;uid do it belter and easier? Clark's 

 original "Cutaway" Harrow can be used as a field 

 harrow and its exten.sion head frame converts it 

 into an orchard harrow. Drawn by two medium 

 horses and will cut 28 to 30 acres or double cut 

 15 acres in a day. The genuine "Cutaway" disk 

 slices, stirs, lifts, twists and aerates the soil. 

 Working the soil this way lets in the air, sun.shine 

 and new life and kills foul vegetation. Thorough 

 cultivation makes large crops. Successful farm- 

 ers, orchardists, gardeners and planters ioo%

 Clark's "Cutaway" tools

Grower is extending its field, and will be more 

 general in the future than it has been in the past. 

 This inference is made from the fact that on their 

 letter head is the following paragraph: "Illus- 

 trated monthly magazine for progressive ^ Ameri- 

 can farmers." The Fruit Grower is edited by 

 James M. Irving, with W. G. Campbell as gen- 

 eral manager. The Fruit Grower is well worth 

 the subscription price of $1 per year, and our 

 opinion is that the orchardist takes too few papers 

 instead of too many.

BEES AND FRUIT-GROWING.— The value of 

 bees in the pollenation of fruit blossoms is 

 becoming better known each year. Anyone famil- 

 iar with the growing of fruit and also in touch 

 with the bees as pollenators would not dispute the 

 great help that bees are in the production of a 

 generous crop of fruit. Fruit-growing and bee- 

 keeping are two industries that combine very 

 nicely. The American Bee Journal, now in its 

 fifty-first year, is not only the oldest bee paper in 

 America, but its contents each month are the 

 very best that can be had in its field. It is pub- 

 lished by George W. York & Co., 117 North Jeffer- 

 son Street, Chicago, Illinois, at $1 a year. Its 

 publishers also are headquarters for everything in 

 the bee literature line. Our readers should be 

 interested in the keeping of bees, not alone on 

 account of the excellent food product produced, 

 but in order that they may have the benefit of the 

 work of the bees in pollenating fruit blossoms. In 

 order that you may know just what the American 

 Bee Journal is, we would suggest that you send 

 for a free sample copy to its publishers.

The FAMOUS REX SPRAYS 



REX LIME AND SULPHUR SOLUTION, the original concentrated preparation for spraying fruit 

 trees and for animal dip. 



This article has been on the market for some eight years and wherever used throughout the United 

 States has given universal satisfaction. It has always been recognized as the highest standard of commercial 

 solution. Because some of our imitators have succeeded in making a concoction that gives a fair Beaume 

 test is by no means a sign that they have the merit that Rex has. We quote the following from the Michigan 

 Experiment Station, Chemical Division : r- ^ r -mt- u- t = 



' East Lansmg, Michigan, June 8, 1910. 



Mr. W. S. Pullen, Hillsdale, Michigan. 



Dear Sir: I send you herewith the results of our analyses of the three samples of spray mixture which were brought to this 

 laboratory by Professor Eustace of the horticultural department: No. i No. 2 No. s Rex 



Lab. No. 2488 Lab. No. 2489 Lab. No. 2490 

 Per cent Per cent Per cent 



Total sulphur 14.61 17.40 26.23 



Total lime (CaO) 6.32 7.93 10.38 



Sediment 16.59 12.90 



Beaume 34.4 34.3 33. 



As the insecticidal value of the lime and sulphur solution is without question due to the amount of sulphur combined which goes 

 into solution, you will readily see that the REX solution is equal in value to one and one-half times as much as Solution No. 2, and one 

 and eight-tenths more than Solution No. 1. The large amount of sediment in Solutions 1 and 2 would of course lower their efficiency. 

 I will send you a report of the arsenate of lead in a few days. Yours very truly, A. J. PATTEN, Chemist. 



P. S. (By W. S. Pullen): Samples 1 and 2 were home-made, and we had a good plant. 



Yours very truly, W. S. PULLEN. 



This proves that the analyses of this state official bulletin shows that Rex will stand from lo to 60 per 

 cent greater dilution than any of these brands, and shows that the directions for Rex are right and that 

 every one of the others is wrong. This also shows that Rex at the same price per barrel is from 10 to 60 

 per cent cheaper than the others. 



REX ARSENATE OF LEAD 



We are also prepared to furnish our customers with the highest grade of Pyro and Ortho Arsenate of 

 Lead, having the following guaranteed analysis : 



Over 15 per cent arsenic oxide; not more than 50 per cent moisture, and less than one-half of 1 per cent soluble 

 arsenic. The facts are, that Rex Arsenate of Lead averages over 16^ per cent arsenic oxide and less than one-quarter 

 of 1 per cent soluble arsenic. So you see that this is far better than what is required in the federal insecticide law.
