Mr. W. F. Pauly, Appolo, Pa., 
sends us his experience with S-W 
Spray Materials: 
“The photograph shows one of my fruit 
trees which is 38 years old. In 1910 it pro¬ 
duced a scant bushel. In 191 1 1 sprayed it 
with S-W Lime-Sulfur Solution and 
Arsenate of Lead, and in 1912 it was so 
overloaded with apples I was forced to pick 
some off to prevent the limbs from breaking. 
Enough cannot be said of the effectiveness 
of S-W Insecticides." 
What S-W Insecticides did for Mr. 
Pauly, they will do for you. Try them.

SPRAYING BEARING APPLE TREES. 
Spray at the right time, not putting 
it off for some other work for a day 
or two. Use the proper ingredients; do 
not try to save by not feeding the worms 
and insects properly. 
Have a power rig if possible, even if 
you have to hire. A man using the 
pump gets tired, pressure gets down, or 
sometimes stays down; you can’t reach 
the proper places, then wonder why your 
fruit isn’t perfect. 
At the time of spraying did you ever 
have 10 times the work to do on the 
farm that you could do? Was a lot 
nearly ready to sow or plant? You 
thought a day wouldn’t make any dif¬ 
ference in spraying, so you finished the 
job. If you did, what was your fruit 
harvest? Never mind answering, for 
we all know that you asked your neigh¬ 
bor who sprayed while you were sowing 
or planting why you didn’t have some 
good fruit. The neighbor said you 
didn’t spray at the proper time. If we 
expect to have good fruit let us drop 
everything else and spray when we 
ought to, not putting it off for even an 
hour, for we cannot tell what the 
weather will bring forth; we cannot 
tell when an accident will happen to our 
spray rig, or something else, so as to 
hinder a day or two. 
Don't save on the poison; I don’t 
mean to waste it, but put on enough so 
all can have a good taste. A man asked 
me a while ago why lie had so many 
worms in his apples, lie said he had 
sprayed with a power rig giving the 
trees three sprayings. I asked him how 
much arsenate of lead he used. He 
said about 25 pounds; they had used 
600 gallons of spray, or three tanks to 
each spraying. When I told him that 
I had used 288 pounds of arsenate of 
lead to 3,600 gallons of spray mixture 
(lime-sulphur and water) to 400 trees 
(trees about 22 feet high, very few are 
higher) for one spraying, he thought 
there was quite a difference, for I only 
had about four times the trees that he 
did. 
To sum the question up, first let us 
spray when we ought to. In our sec¬ 
tion, without scale, I do not believe it 
pays to* spray earlier than when the 
buds begin to show color, using lime 
and sulphur, one to 40, and arsenate 
of lead, six pounds to 100 gallons. Last 
year I used the lime and sulphur one to 
35 or stronger; got a little injury to the 
fruit. I generally use eight pounds of 
the lead to 100 gallons, and believe it 
pays. Those extra two pounds only cost 
about 15 cents more; 100 gallons of 
spray mixture will spray about 10 trees, 
so it only costs about 1^2 cents per 
spraying, or three cents for two spray¬ 
ings per tree, and it does not cost any 
more to apply eight pounds of poison to 
the 100 gallons than six pounds. What 
is three cents per tree if the tree pro¬ 
duces four or five barrels of good fruit? 
The second spraying is made when 
nearly all of the blossoms have fallen 
with the same mixture of first spray¬ 
ing. I believe if these two sprayings 
are made thoroughly and at the proper 
time with the proper mixture it is all a 
tree needs, unless there is scale in the 
orchard. A thorough job is done when 
all of the tree is covered with a fine 
spray or mist. 
I am not going to advise spraying 
against the wind, for I know the gen¬ 
eral opinion of fruit growers on this 
subject. I had the same opinion myself 
till nearly all of my spraying was done 
last year, when I saw Professor Whet- 
zel of Cornell demonstrate spraying 
against the wind. 1 went home and 
tried it, and let me say here I don t 
spray any more except against the wind. 
I believe a man has to have a tower 
even with small trees to spray properly; 
it is easier to be up high and spray 
down than to be down and spray up. 
All I have to say is the same that Pro¬ 
fessor Wetzel said: “Try it and see.” 
I also believe a person ought to have 
a long rod so as to reach all around 
and in the tree. 
Don’t hurry a job of spraying. If 
you cannot spray your orchard thor¬ 
oughly with one rig get another._ A 
good spray rig will pay for itself in a 
short time, for we cannot raise good 
fruit without giving it proper atten¬ 
tion. I believe spraying ought to be 
first in raising fruit, before cultivation 
and fertilizing, etc. People talk about 
over-production of fruit. That might 
be, but never of good fruit. If you 
have good fruit you can always sell it; 
you don’t have to beg for a market, 
either. H. A.
