BETTER FRUIT 



Page 87 



NEW POWER SPRAYER 



ESPECIALLY CONSTRUCTED" TO MEET THE REQUIRE- 

 MENTS OF THE FRUIT GROWERS OF THE NORTHWEST 



After talking with a number of the fruit 

 growers, we have embodied in this Spray 

 Outfit the suggestions which they gave. 



The first machines on the market were too 

 heavy (weighing not less than 2.000 pounds). 

 This machine weighs only 1,300 pounds, which 

 is a feature to be considered on hillsides and 

 soft ground. 



The machine is built low enough to clear the 

 branches of the trees, being 4 feet 3 inches 

 from the ground. The tank and cover for the 

 engine are so constructed as to serve as a 

 platform for the operator to stand on while 

 spraying down into the calyx. Again it difTers 

 from the first machines in that it is very short, 

 being but 4 feet 8 inches wheel base, making 

 it possible to turn short. 



This Spray Outfit, with the Fairbanks-Morse 

 one-horsepower engine, direct connected to a 

 special pump designed to give 200 pounds 

 pressure continuously through two hose con- 

 nections and nozzles from a tank of 150 gal- 

 lons capacity, appeals to the fruit growers 

 because it embodies every feature they regard 

 as important. 



We invite you to investigate this entirely 

 new Spray Outfit. Write for catalog.

of this heat when it is needed greatest. It might 

 result, by following out the theor" you would 

 work on, that you would liberate the largest 

 amount of heat at an early period of the frost, 

 when you needed the very smallest amount of 

 heat, and when the time came that you needed 

 the largest amount, and the very best heat, you 

 would be reduced to the smallest amount, and as 

 a result lose your crop, because, while you burned 

 enough oil during the period to save your crop 

 you did not burn it at the right time in its 

 greatest quantity, ana, therefore, might just as 

 well not have burned any. It would be like having 

 a fire m your furnace so great that the tempera- 

 ture in your house would be 100 early in the 

 evening, when but a small amount of fire was 

 required, and later in the night, when it is zero, 

 you find the furnace has burned out all its fuel 

 and nothing but a small fire can be secured, and 

 as a result your water pipes freeze. Stich an 

 arrangement would not be tolerated tor a minute. 



The furnace gave out enough heat during the 

 entire burning period to have comfortably heated 

 your home, but you did not control this heat, 

 and right here lies the keynote of successful 

 orchard heating. The controlled heat is the all 

 important feature. First, plenty of heat, and, sec- 

 ondly, the control of this heat: and soon no 

 equipment will oe tolerated in the orchard that 

 does not scientifically meet the requirements. I 

 trust my words will not be misunderstood, as I 

 have endeavored to bring out the practical points 

 in this important work, and I believe that any 

 grower who has actually heated an orchard against 

 frost conditions will agree with me on every point. 



The operations throughout the country are going 

 to be on a very liberal basis this spring, and the 

 results of the work will be watched with great 

 interest. It is not to be presumed that every 

 user will be successful at first, as so many witl 

 not take the pains to thoroughly understand what 

 will be required of them, and others will enter into 



the work half-heartedly and overlook important 

 details, and the results will be far from satisfac- 

 tory. Others will enter into the work with a 

 determination to win and with an anxious desire 

 to save the crop, and will do the right thing at 

 the right time. These are the men who will write 

 us letters next spring telling us of the great suc- 

 cess they had in operating our heaters, and their 

 names will appear in our book of testimonials.

WHY PAY FREIGHT ON WATER? 



BUY 



Vreeland's Electro Arsenate of Lead 



IN POWDERED FORM 



The most effective and economical insecticide for all leaf-eating insects. 

 Electro is the only successful powedered Arsenate of Lead because it is the 

 only one that mixes instantly with water in such a finely divided state that 

 every drop of spray contains the right amount of arsenic. It cannot be washed 

 ofif by rain, and will not injure the newest, tenderest foliage. 



We guarantee it to contain 30 per cent arsenic oxide — 50 per cent more than 

 other brands — as proved by Connecticut and New Jersey Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station tests. Write us for them. Save the freight on water — there is 

 40 to 60 per cent in all pastes. Put in the water at home. 



We also have the best paste on the market, and will prove it if you prefer 

 Arsenate of Lead in this form. 



Write us if your dealer cannot supply you with Electro brands. Do not 

 accept substitutes.
