SPRAYING CROPS 



Ozi^n a sprayijig pump yourself. If you have to 

 zvaif to borrozi' your ncighhor'Sj the chances are that 

 you zcill begin too late. 



Spray in- time ; begin early ; do not wait until the 

 horse is stolen and then try to lock the door by 

 spraying. 



Do not spray indiscriminately, anything and 

 everything. Adapt your means to yonr ends. Study 

 the enemies of your crops and then fight them 

 intelligently. 



Of tzco mixtures equally effective, choose the one 

 least liable to injure foliage. Take the trouble to add 

 a little lime to Paris green or London purple mixtures. 



Never spray ripening fruit. 



Alzvays remember that spraying requires the 

 exercise of skill, judgment and knozcledge, to get the 

 best results.
