Every big commercial grower who used Niagara Dusting 
Machines and Materials last year proved the above state¬ 
ment to be so true that the 5 ' will dust again next year. 
They found that the big advantage was that two horses and 
two men with this liglit outfit could cover a large acreage 
at the critical time, thxrs assuring better protection. 
We quote Mr. Bobzin of Burt, N. Y. who says ‘'The duster 
will go over as much ground as my five large power liquid 
outfits used to." Figure for yourself the saving of man 
and horse time—then remember that dusting is clean and 
easy, not dirt}', sloppy drudgery. 
You will be interested in Mr. Bobzin’s 
entire letter: 
“CTentlemen: 
I purcliased a dusting machine last season and used it 
<.n a part of my large apple orchards. The sprayed apples 
were no better in quality than the dusted ones and I am 
well enough satisfied with the results so that I will make 
the summer applications with dust next year. 
For orchards as large and old as mine the dust method 
is certainly a. big advantage over spraying. The duster will 
go over as much ground as my five large i)ower liquid 
outfits used to.”

Culture of the Blueberry | 
(Continued from page 314) ! 
while in alkiline waters it is depo.sited ; 
and the water becomes white. Never 
before had I known that associated with 
the roots of blueberry, cranberry and 
most other plants which grow in acid 
soils is a symbiotic fungus wliich in 
some still unexplained way assists these 
plants in obtaining the nitrogen neces¬ 
sary for their growth. 
The result was that Mi.ss White and 
her father offered to co-operare with the 
Ilejiartnient at Washington, and finally 
land at Whitesbog was rented for testing 
pnrpnse.s. 
The Search for .4 xci;.stors. —First 
of all it was necessary to find some vei-y 
superior plants for propagating. So they 
set about it as in old times they would 
have employed some one familiar with j 
the wild fields .‘ind woods to limit for a j 
Bartlett pear or a Baldwin ajiple. .And , 
here Miss “White made use of her 
friend.s, the berry picker.s. These people 
knew the swamps and wild jdaces, and 
in the course of a day's picking they 
visit thousands of plants. If they could 
be ini crested, it would he easy for tliem 
to mark some jmrticulaily fine i "-b and 
go to it later when needed. We shall 
tell how this was done and what came 
from it next week. .\t Fig. 121, on jiage 
.‘111, you may see one cluster of supe¬ 
rior fruit, exact size. We firmly be¬ 
lieve that this is the beginning of 
a groat business which is to give the 
world a new supply of a most delicious 
fruit and provide a profitable crop for 
.soils and sections now thought quite un¬ 
profitable.

Cauliflower Fails to Head ; Trumpet Vine 
from Seed 
1. Can you tell why my cauliflower 
did not head? I used Early Snowball 
seed, planted it early in boxe.s, and the 
jilants grew to im enormous size, but no 
heads formed, exci'pt in very few, and 
those so late in the season as to he of 
little use. I have had excellent luck 
lovvioiis seasons in the same ganleu. 
2. I have a trumpet vine on which .secd- 
pods formed last year for the first time. 
Can you tell oqe when to plant those 
seeds and give me any knowledge of their 
cultivation? MRS. E. E. w. 
Keene, N. II. 
1. I cannot understand why your 
cauliflower did not head up as it u.-ually 
ha.s for you. This crop frequently heads 
prematurely if the plants are stunted 
in the seed bed, or get a severe setback 
when put in the field. Probably your 
garden i.s becoming excessively ricli in 
nitrogen, due to excessive applications cf 
such material as chicken manure. This 
would have a tendency to delay matur¬ 
ity, especially if acid phosphate was n<>t 
added to the manure. Possibly there was 
a mistake in tlie variety of seed you 
secured. If it happened to be such 
varieties as .Autumn Giant or .Algiers, 
yon would have a long-growing variety 
instead of a quick-growing sort, such as 
Early Snowball or Dwarf Erfurt. 
2. Trumpet vines are usually 
propagated by root cuttings. However, 
cuttings of the vinos will root if set in 
sand for six to eight weeks in early 
Spring. Seeds are usually planted in 
well prepared soil at aboxit the same 
time as early cucumbers are planted. 
Sow the seed thinly, so that thinning 
out Avill be unnecessary. Transidant the 
seedlings to their permanent jdace early 
enough in late Summer, so that they will 
be able to establish themselves thor¬ 
oughly before Winter sets in. 
R. a n. 
Hen Manure on Corn 
Will you let me know through .vonr 
paper which way is the better, imt hen 
manure under the corn or when tin* corn 
comes up? A- 
Troy, N. Y. 
Onr own oxi>erience shows that wc get 
best results from the hen manure handled 
in about the following way: Keep it as 
dry as possible and crush or grind it fine, 
then when the corn is six or eight inches 
high scatter the manure around the hill 
and work it in with a hoe or cultivator. 
That has given us the best results; better 
than putting the manure in the hill with 
the seed. It will increase the result if 
about 250 pounds of phosphate is used 
with half a ton of the chicken manure.
