reinfest individual trees throughout an 
orchard, and gradually spread to others 
from these. If the whole orchard be¬ 
comes reinfested, of course, all of the 
trees should be carefully and thoroughly 
sprayed. If only a tree here and there 
is found to be severely infested it will 
be well to mark these trees as they are 
found while the pruning is being done. 
Each tree should be plainly marked by 
tying a i - ag to a limb so that it can be 
readily seen when the time comes to 
spray. Each of the marked trees should 
be given an extra amount of the spray, 
and it should be applied with extra care. 
Youitu Apple Tkees and Peach 
Tkees. —We believe that in this State 
the scale on young trees has not yet 
shown the resistance to lime-sulphur that 
it has shown in regions farther West. 
We therefore believe that lime-sulphur is 
the safest and most satisfactory material 
yet available for the control of the scale 
on young apple trees and on peach 
trees. The mixture should be applied 
very thoroughly, so as to cover every 
branch clear to the tips, and especially 
the young fuzzy growth near the ends of 
the twigs. Use four or five gallons of ma¬ 
terial for a 12-year-old apple tree in 
the dormant or delayed domant stage, 
and for a tree 15 years old use six or 
seven gallons. Be sure that the liquid 
material is diluted in the right propor¬ 
tions. If the concentrated mixture tests 
33° Baume use 12% gallons in a 100- 
gallon tank. If it tests but 30° Baume 
use 14 gallons in a 100-gallon tank. If 
the dry lime-sulphur is used be sure that 
it is a lime-sulphur product and not 
some other form of sulphur and use '.t 
about Vi stronger than the manufac¬ 
turers generally recommend. 
Old Apple Tkees. —On old apple trees 
with rough scaly bark well encrusted with 
the scale an oil spray will give better 
control of the insect. Certain commer¬ 
cial miscible oils may be used with good 
effect if care is taken to follow directions. 
Less liability to injure trees with oil 
will be experienced if the material is 
applied rather late in the Spring, during 
days when the temperature is above freez¬ 
ing. In spraying trees with oil it is best 
to put the mixtures on before a rain 
rather than after. 
In the Mississippi Valley an oil emul¬ 
sion made with the ordinary lubri¬ 
cating oils is being widely and extensively 
used by growers with apparent success. 
This emulsion made by the boiling proc¬ 
ess is prepared as follows: 
Bed engine oil. 1 gallon 
Water (soft).% gallon 
Potash fish-oil soap. . . 1 pound 
The oil, water, and soap are placed 
in a kettle and heated until they come 
to a boil. Just before boiling a brown 
scum will appear on the surface of the 
mixture. As the boiling begins this 
scum will disappear, and as it goes away 
the boiling should stop, for the mixture 
should not be boiled longer than a few 
minutes. The entire mixture, while hot, 
should be passed through the spray pump 
at least twice under conskk.uble pres¬ 
sure, so that an emulsion will be formed. 
This stock emulsion is diluted until a 2 
per cent emulsion is formed for spray¬ 
ing. That is, the amount of stock emul¬ 
sion in the formula given is sufficient 
for 50 gallons of spray material. If the 
tank holds 200 gallons the formula 
should be multiplied four times and so on 
for any number of tanks. 
Potash fish-oil soaps in a semi-liquid 
form seem to give the best results in pro¬ 
ducing an emulsion, while soft water 
should be used whenever possible, for 
hard water is liable to set some of the oil 
free, which may injure the trees. The 
spray tank and pump should be thor¬ 
oughly washed free from any residue of 
lime-sulphur that may be in them before 
putting in the oil emulsion. Nearly all 
oil companies handle the common lubri¬ 
cating oils, and such brands as red en¬ 
gine oil and diamond paraffin oil have 
been used with equally good results. 
Spraying with these oil emulsions 
should be done during the dormant stage 
of the trees, and preferably during the 
Spring, when the temperature is not 
freezing. To insure a complete covering 
of all parts of the trees, it is wise to 
spray one side of a row at a time, and 
Have You Enough Manure? 
It will take more than 6 tons 
of manure to replace the plant 
food taken out by 60 bushels 
of Corn. 
A ton of manure furnishes 
about 25 pounds of plant food. 
If you put back the Phos¬ 
phoric Acid removed by 40 
acres of Corn, you would have 
to apply to that field 240 tons 
of manure. 
One ton of 20% Acid Phos¬ 
phate contains as much Phos¬ 
phoric Acid as 80 tons of 
manure. 
To supply the Nitrogen 
taken out by 40 acres of Corn 
would require -350 tons of ma¬ 
nure. f 
A ton of a 2-12-2 Fertilizer 
contains 320 pounds of plant 
food. 
It takes 13 tons of manure 
to supply as much plant food 
as one ton of Fertilizer. 
Every 200-lb. bag of V-C 
High Analysis Fertilizer car¬ 
ries as much plant food as 
11-3 tons of manure. Supple¬ 
ment your manure by using 
V-C Fertilizers. 
Our V-C Fertilizers repre¬ 
sent the best that the science 
of chemistry and agricultural 
practice know about the sub¬ 
ject of plant food. Our policy 
is not only to sell fertilizers 
that will give good results, but 
also through our Agricultural 
Service Bu¬
