has proven to be so effective and economical in the control of 
insect pests and fungus diseases that the Niagara Dusting Method 
hai not only been adopted by the larger commercial growers of 
apples and small fruit in every fruit growing section, but also by 
the walnut growers of California, the peach growers of Georgia, 
strawberry and market gardeners of NewJersey,the cotton growers 
of the South and by park superintendents in many leading cities. 
The Niagara Duster without exceedingly fine dusting material 
would be practically useless, Niagara Dusting Sulphur has been 
largely responsible for the universal popularity of the dusting 
method. It is ground into such minute particles that it is the 
finest powdered sulphur manufactured. For best results, it 
is always necessary to use Niagara Dusting Sulphur with the 
Niagara Duster. 
For Liquid Spraying and Dormant Dusting, we are quoting 
attractive prices on Niagara Soluble Sulphur Compound, the 
original Soluble Sulphur in powder form. We have a plentiful 
supply now ready for delivery.

Will you give a list of early-bearing 
apples, something that will show fruit in 
four or five years, both Summer and Win¬ 
ter fruit? Having no orchard on a farm 
I have just moved on I want to plant a 
home orchard for myself, not for pos¬ 
terity. w. or. w. 
Columbia, Mo. 
In selecting trees for the latitude of 
Missouri in the Central West I should 
choose them somewhat in this proportion: 
Apple trees, Summer varieties: 10 Live- 
land Raspberry, 10 Yellow Transparent, 
10 Duchess. Fall and Winter varieties: 
10 Wealthy, 10 King David, 10 Jonathan, 
10 Grimes, 10 Wiuesap, 10 Stayman, 10 
Delicious. This makes 100 apple trees 
that will give a succession of fruit. As 
the Summer varieties are all quite early, 
Wilson’s Red June (San Jacinto in the 
South and a better name) might be added 
as a mid-Summer kind. 
In pears, three or four kinds, Kieffer, 
Lincoln, Seckel, Tyson. Cherries, two 
kinds, Richmond and Montmorency. 
Plums, four kinds, Damson, Wild Goose, 
America, Red June. Peaches, 10 kinds, 
in order of ripening: Mayflower, Red 
Bird, Eureka, Carman, Champion. Belle 
of Georgia, Elberta or J. II. Hale, Stump, 
Heath Cling, Sahvay or Ivrummel. 
Gooseberries, 12 Houghton and Oregon. 
Grapes, five Moore’s Early, five Concord, 
two Brighton, two Niagara. Fifty Cuth- 
bert red raspberries, 50 St. Regis, 100 
Cumberland, 12 Columbia. L. K. J.

San Jose Scale and Cold 
I have often seen reports in Tiie R. 
N.-Y. of the damage to the fruit trees 
with the severe freeze we had last Win¬ 
ter. but I have not seen any mention of 
how the San Jose scale came through it. 
It just about made a clean job of it 
around here. The old apple orchards that 
we could not undertake with all our spray¬ 
ing. were cleaned up properly. We have 
some Baldwin trees on which the fruit 
has only been lit for hog or cattle feeding; 
and last Fall when picking I just saw 
two specks of scale, and the foliage was 
Hue and healthy. Many of our neigh¬ 
bors give the same reports. tv. b. 
St. Catherines, Out. 
R. N.-Y.—This is the first report of 
this nature we have had, and we shall be 
glad to hoar from other Northern readers. 
We would not take any such outcome for 
granted, but spray if the scale has ever 
been in the orchard.

Many practical farmers have successfully demonstrated 
the truth of this statement 
Based on his own knowledge as a successful farmer and agri¬ 
cultural leader together with the results of the famous Thorne Ex¬ 
periments, Professor Charles W, Burkett, editor of the American 
Agriculturist says: 
“Commercial fertilizers if intelligently used on soils containing a fair amount of 
organic matter will produce not only maximum crops, but also additional organic 
matter in the form of increased root production. Stable manure—is not necessary 
for maximum crops because organic matter and chemical fertilizers will replace 
it, and in many cases will produce larger crops at smaller costs. 
The tremendous demand for wheat as human food has forced stockmen to use more corn 
for feeding purposes. Europe’s call for meat, together with our own vast requirements 
insures good prices for corn. Why not increase your profits by raising a larger acreage

Experience with Pop Corn 
I had some of that large pop corn as 
shown in The R. N.-Y".. not quite so 
fancy, perhaps, but big long ears. Three 
years ago I had 10 rows 11) rods long 
from which I husked 25 bushels nice hard 
corn. I cante through the field one day 
before I cut it and pulled six of the 
biggest ears I could find, and hung them 
up behind the kitchen stove. In about 
two weeks I popped it, and nearly every 
kernel popped, very large and tender. 
Having a crib all lined with wire I 
thought it would be a good place to store 
it. so no mice could get it. I made a 
rack high up iu the crib and spread it 
out thin. This was after it was well 
cured in crates, but later iu the season 
I tried to pop some, and whatever I 
would do I could not get it to pop. Well, 
that made pretty fair chicken feed. 
Two years ago I had a small piece, 
but the season was so wet I had to plant 
it so many times that it did not mature, 
so I fed it to the cattle in the husk. Last 
year I planted some of that seed that 
was in the crib, but it 
had trouble in getting 
husked only one bushel, 
only about two-thirds grown, but I dried 
it in the kitchen range one-half bushel 
at a time, and kept it in the house, and 
nearly every kernel pops as large and 
tender as you could wish. (’. <). <). gives 
two important “kinks” in raising pop 
corn, but I tliiuk the most important thing 
is not to let it freeze or become damp in 
storage. Corn that is frozen will not sprout 
well, neither will it pop. I have raised 
25 bushels of the blue pop corn on one- 
fourth acre and think I can do better 
than with this large rice corn; besides, 
the stalks are so fine and full of leaves 
they are fine for the cattle. u. L. w.

An Investment of $12.00 
Saves $180.00 per Year 
Up until last year many growers used 
three line* of hose and three operators 
on their sprayers. These men spray 
about 30 days each year and by invest¬ 
ing $12.00 for one 
Hardie Orchard Gun 
they SAVED the labor of two men or 
$180.00. Their spraying was done BET¬ 
TER and the gun will last for YEARS. 
Some investment!
