Arsenate of Lead 
gives satisfaction. It not only kills 
biting insects but insures a strong, 
healthy growth of foliage as well. 
If properly used, it will do for you 
what it did for Mr. Marks, a well- 
known Arkansas fruit grower. Read 
what he says: 
Sherwin-Williams Co■ 
Gentlemen : 
Replying to your recent favor, I want 
to say that I am very glad to testify to the 
excellent character of your Arsenate of 
Lead. A great majority of the growers 
here used it the past season and it has 
given universal satisfaction. The analysis 
of the chemist at the Experiment Station 
showed it to be up to the standard of such 
goods. Our growers here will use the same 
brand next year. I controlled the Codling 
Moth effectually, and in one orchard I 
lost only 2% of the apples from this pest, 
sprayed once. 
Yours very truly,

A Boy Fruit Grower. 
Not long ago we gave a little story 
of an Iowa boy who is destined to be a 
fruit grower. This boy’s father is to 
plant an apple orchard and give it good 
care so that when the boy gets large 
enough to look about for a life work 
there will be the orchard ready for him. 
AN IOWA BOY FARMER. Fig. 89. 
This boy will be brought up with the 
trees and learn to watch and handle them 
as lie grows. There could hardly be a 
finer legacy for the boy. He is a for¬ 
tunate youngster, and we show his pic¬ 
ture at Fig. 89. 
SPRAYING IN IOWA. 
After several .years’ experience in spray¬ 
ing 1 would say the most important things 
are, first, a good outfit made for the busi¬ 
ness, strong enough to do the work, and not 
so heavy but that a team of ordinary 
farm horses can pull your load on hilly 
or soft ground. I would prefer a gasoline 
outfit, as help is scarce, and it is hard 
work to keep up sufficient pressure for any 
great length of time. The pump should be 
substantially made, powerful and with 
valves which one can remove and replace 
easily with a common wrench. I have 
used my pump for two seasons without 
repacking, and when it needs adjusting 
or packing it can he done easily and 
quickly. Also the proper mixture for the 
work in hand, and be sure you get the 
proportions right, for measures of unknown 
size and guess weights are not accurate 
enough. Use good pressure, 150 pounds or 
more, and keep moving. 1 see no benefit 
in staying by a tree until streams of mix¬ 
ture run down trunk and limbs, or stand 
in puddles on the ground. I have found 
the angle nozzle to be the most satisfac¬ 
tory; use different size openings as to the 
work in hand. Not many are spraying 
here, and I fear there will not be until we 
have a general awakening along horticul¬ 
tural lines. Farm work and better agri¬ 
cultural methods are being agitated and 
practiced all over the State with good 
results, hut our horticulturists have got 
into a rut; not much increase in member¬ 
ship in the State society, and no interest 
along practical lines.

STICKS TO BORDEAUX. 
Many farmers fail to make a success of 
spraying because they are too close-fisted 
to invest in a good sprayer and necessary 
equipment, and are so saving of the poison 
that they do not put on enough to be 
effective; also they look after other work 
as well as they can and spray when they 
get their field crops cared for, and often 
the spraying is not done at the proper 
time, usually too late. In using a hand 
pump the power is not great enough to 
throw the spray with force enough to do 
best work, and with two men on the pump 
handle they can improve the work. Power 
sprayers are best if one can afford the 
expense. Lime-sulphur is largely taking 
the place of Bordeaux on many varieties 
in many localities, hut with us we are 
sticking to Bordeaux mainly yet with Home 
Beauty, as they do not get so rusty from 
its use as Grimes, Jonathan and other 
tender varieties. These tender varieties are 
subject to bitter rot in warm climates and 
lime-sulphur does not prevent its spread¬ 
ing as does Bordeaux, so it looks as though 
the best spray to use on such varieties is 
lime-sulphur early in the season and Bor¬ 
deaux later, applying it at the time to 
prevent the second brood of the Codling 
moth from getting in its destructive work, 
using arsenate of lead with both mixtures, 
at the rate of two pounds to 50 gallons. 
The lime-sulphur can be made at home for 
about half what the commercial brands 
can be bought for, and save freight and 
hauling water. I made it by using two 
pounds of sulphur to one pound of lime, 
and cooking till the sulphur is dissolved, 
and it stays in suspension as well as the 
commercial brands and gives as good re¬ 
sults. For a Summer spray it can be used 
about one to 30 or five pounds sulphur to 
50 gallons, on apples, but not near that 
strong on peaches. The self-boiled lime- 
sulphur is the only thing recommended for 
Summer spray on peach, using arsenate of 
lead with it to prevent the work of the 
curculio, thereby lessening the chances for 
the spread of the brown rot as it starts 
mostly where the curculio works on the 
fruit. For spraying apples, if the orchard 
lias the scale use lime-sulphur one to nine, 
and use either Bordeaux (3-5-50) or dilute 
lime-sulphur just before the trees bloom, 
and add arsenate of lead if insects do any 
injury. Spray again just as soon as most 
of the bloom is off, and again in a week 
to 10 days, using arsenate of lead and a 
fungicide both, and for later applications 
use the Bordeaux (2-5-50) with arsenate 
of lead about the time the Codling moth 
lays her eggs, or just before that, and 
against about two or three weeks later, 
thereby preventing the second brood doing 
injury, keeping off bitter rot. sooty fungus 
and the late scab. Curculio injury is pre¬ 
vented by the spray at the same time.
