Ready 
when you need it most 
To be effective, spraying must be 
done not only when conditions are 
ripe but with the proper equipment. 
Not to have a spray rig ready and 
powerful enough to do the job right 
is to risk a heavy loss. 
The fruit grower whose sprayer is 
Hercules equipped has dependable 
spraying power—an engine that is 
guaranteed, that always gives a 
steady pressure of 200 to 250 pounds, 
and that will not go wrong when the 
job is half finished. 
The cost of a Hercules equipped 
sprayer is no more than that of less 
dependable ones. In fact the initial 
price of the Hercules is less than that 
of most standard make engines. 
There is a Hercules equipped 
sprayer that was designed for your 
orchard—one for your farm. They 
range in size from 1 '/2 H. P. up. 
Whatever equipment you need— 
concrete mixers, hoists, grading 
machinery, saw rigs, pumps, etc., 
be sure that you get it equipped 
with dependable guaranteed 
Hercules power. 
There is a Hercules dealer near 
you who will gladly demonstrate the 
engine to you and tell you about 
Hercules equipped machinery. Or, 
write to us and let us give you the 
benefit of our experience in the 
solution of your power problems.

pulls twice as hard, and No. 3 pulls four

Reinforcing a Granary

studding. II hat size rods of iron or 
steel would be necessary to make it safe 
to hll each bin full? How should they be 
put inf Hould eight rods in each bin be 
sufficient i H A 0 
You do not state what material the 
b-in. studdings are made from ; presum- 
aMy Southern pine. Neither do you give 
the distance at which they are placed on 
contents, and I am assuming this to be 
about 2 ft. With these facts in mind, I 
would suggest the use of eight %-in. 
rods in each bin. as you have mentioned, 
placing four each way. These should be 
placed at about oue-third of the distance 
up from the floor of the bin. Would also 
suggest that a belt of timber be placed 
about the bin, and the ends of the rods 
led through this and well secured with 
suitable nuts and washers. The timber 
used in this will help in distributing the 
pull of the rod over a greater section of 
the side wall. 
You can use this new spray 
cheaply, easily and safely 
If you have found spraying 
a messy, expensive job that 
wasn’t any too satisfactory, 
here’s the answer. 
Sunoco Spray Oil is a new oil 
that mixes with any ordinary 
water without heating or any 
special equipment. It can be 
used as a dormant spray, a 
summer spray or a sticker 
and spreader, and either alone 
or combined with other chem¬ 
icals such as Bordeaux mix¬ 
ture, nicotine solutions and 
lead arsenate. 
You’ll find Sunoco covers the 
tree or plant perfectly, and at 
a lower cost. It creeps into 
the crevices of the bark, 
spreads over foliage and 
“stays put.” 
Sunoco emulsions never sep¬ 
arate. Unless mixed, Sunoco 
won’t freeze or deteriorate 
from season to season. 
Experimental stations have 
commended it highly. We’d 
like to tell you more about it.
