ATZE regret to receive complaints 

 ▼ ' from spray manufacturers in ref- 

 erence to analyses that have been pub- 

 lisheid at various times by competitive 

 firms. Competitive tests are not always 

 definite because concJitions are not 

 always similar. Comparative analyses 

 are not always absolutely significant 

 because the specimens submitted for 

 one cause or another may not be a fair 

 average specimen. We publish else- 

 where in this edition a complaint from 

 Sherwin-Williams, stating that an anal- 

 ysis was made with spray which had 

 simply been put out in small quantities 

 for experimental work, and this speci- 

 men was not put out for general use.

GREEN APHIS.— For several years 

 in the past green aphis has been a 

 very serious pest. While not an easy 

 bug to control nevertheless it can be 

 controlled by effective work if the right 

 kind of spray is used. The average rea- 

 son for green aphis getting a start is 

 because the grower does not begin to 

 spray until they have infested the entire 

 orchard. The orchard should be watched 

 very carefully during the spring and 

 summer months, and whenever the aphis 

 begins to appear continued spraying 



should be kept up as long as aphis are 

 in evidence. The best way, when they 

 first appear on young trees, is to dip the 

 twigs in a bucket of spray if the twigs 

 will easily bend. In a young orchard 

 the spraying can be done effectively with 

 a hand sprayer, but in an old orchard 

 it is necessary to get out the spray outfit 

 If the spraying is not promptly done the 

 aphis will curl up the leaves and it is 

 impossible to do effective work. While 

 several remedies have been used, there is 

 nothing more effective than Kentucky 

 Tobacco Dip, made by the Kentucky 

 Tobacco Product Co. Another cause for 

 lack of control of this pest is that insuffi- 

 cient supplies are usually carried in stock 

 by dealers — the grower trusts to getting 

 the Tobacco Dip when he needs it. 

 Every grower should provide himself 

 early in the season with a sufficient quan- 

 tity to spray thoroughly and carry such 

 an amount on hand. 



ELSEWHERE in this edition appears 

 the article "The Package Sells the 

 Goods." Every fruit grower is urged to 

 read this article thoroughly, and we do 

 not hesitate to urge every grower to try 

 the experiment by putting some of his 

 fruit in these packages during the com- 

 ing season.
