Inoc-Sul is dependable insurance against potato scab. It cleans 
up infected fields—it keeps uninfected fields clean. It is inexpensive 
and easily applied, requiring no special machinery. Broadcast by 
hand, fertilizer or lime broadcaster, or seed drill. 
Inoc-Sul strikes at the very root of the potato ’scab evil— it 
overcomes the scab organism IN THE SOIL, not merely the scab on 
the seed, as does seed treatment. 
Furthermore, sulphur is one of the necessary plant foods. There¬ 
fore, Inoc-Sul may function as an important element of fertility 
Inoc-Sul when correctly applied to the soil will absolutely be of 
no harm whatever to the potato crop, or any other crop. 
Soils seldom naturally contain too much sulphur, and are very 
apt not to contain enough. 
Write us today. We will without cost or obligation tell you all 
about Inoc-Sul —what it is—where to get it—how to use it—how it 
will save your market losses. Tell us now many acres of potatoes 
you will plant and the name of your dealer. Our reply will be worth 
dollars to you.

The Experience of a Cletrac Owner 
Post, Texas, 
Panhandle Sales Company, January 17, 1924. 
Amarillo, Texas. 
Mr. G. L. Kirven. 
Dear Sir: 
After thoroughly trying out the Cletrac Model W 12-20 Tractor for one 
year, will state for the benefit of farmers who may be concerned that cost 
of operation for ten hours is $3.00 at present prices. 
I average eight acres per day flat-breaking at a cost of 37H cents per 
acre. Planting with three row Lister, 20 acres per ten hour day at cost of 
15 cents per acre. 
I will prove these figures correct to any farmer who will visit my farm 
and will say also that my 14-year-old boy cranks and operates my tractor 
with perfect success, and will further state after using the tractor one year, 
that I have n’t had one minute’s trouble, and no additional cost, not even 
cleaned one plug, and will further state that I had a mechanic to drop the 
pan and he found bearings in A-l condition, all tight. 
Send any reference to,

to take advantage of the wind. One 
cannot cover a tree satisfactorily by 
trying to spray against the wind. 
There is some question as to the ac¬ 
cumulative effect of oils on trees that 
are sprayed during several successive 
seasons. Whether or not when an 
orchard is sprayed year after year with 
these oil emulsions the bark and wood 
will eventually become injured by the 
oil, cannot be definitely determined until 
more data ranging over a longer period 
are available. In our experiments with 
miscible oils for the control of the leaf- 
roller we have applied the oil at the 
proper dilutions to the same trees for 
three successive seasons without any in¬ 
jurious effects. These applications were 
made in the late Spring, when the tem¬ 
perature was above freezing.

Sprays and Dusts 
If you are a large progressive grower 
of fruits, either small or large, you need 
no.t waste your time reading this article, 
because you will know all that article 
contains and perhaps more. If you are 
a small grower, growing some fruit as a 
side line, it may pay you to devote your 
time to it, but if you are a person who 
raises a few apples, peaches, pears or any 
of the numerous small fruits and have 
never sprayed, it will no doubt pay you 
to spend more time carrying out some of 
its suggestions. 
In the first place, if the majority of 
people who planted fruit trees or vines 
knew of the large number of insects 
which live on the different kinds of fruit 
they would be discouraged before they 
started. The other day I was looking at 
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1270, “The More 
Important Apple Insects,” and there 
were more than 75 different kinds. But 
thanks to our United States Department 
of Agriculture and our State Department 
of Agriculture, there has been found con¬ 
trol for them all, not only them, but the 
fungus diseases as well in the different 
sprays and dusts which are on the mar¬ 
ket. 
Probably a great many of you have, as 
you were driving along the road past or¬ 
chards of different kinds, noticed the fine 
appearance of the fruit and the number 
on the tree, and then thought of your 
few trees at home and wondered w’hy you 
did not have as many or as nice ones on 
your trees. The reason is the owner of 
the orchard sprayed and you did not. 
Take apples, for instance. If troubled 
j with scale, use the dormant spray. I 
think the best time for this is late Win¬ 
ter or very early Spring, using concentrat¬ 
ed lime-sulphur. If troubled with aphis 
or lice, it may be well to wait and put on 
the delayed dormant spray, using lime- 
sulphur, but add Black Leaf 40 to your 
spray. But be sure not to wait too long 
or you will injure the foliage. 
The pink cluster bud spray is used for ■ 
apple scab and will also help to control 
plum curculio, tent caterpillar, canker- 
worms, etc. The spray to use is 1 lb. ar¬ 
senate of lead powder. 1% gallons of lime- 
sulphur to 50 gallons, or water of that 
proportion. Then if you see any signs of 
aphis, add nicotine sulphate, 40 per cent, 
at the rate of three-eighths pint. 
The next spray is the one I would use 
if I used only one spray, and that is the 
calyx, or just when the petals fall off. 
using arsenate of lead. The reason for 
this spray is to control the codling moth 
and prevent your apples from dropping 
off a little while after the blossoms do. 
Then, if possible, spray again in two or 
three weeks. This will help control the 
worms which have hatched from the eggs 
of the moth at the time of the other 
spray. 
If you have never sprayed, do not think j 
you can go out and stand on one side of I 
the tree and spray it and do a good job. 
It takes time and patience to spray and 
spray right. The first time we sprayed 
we had an old apple tree that always 
bore heavily every other year. The ap¬ 
ples were rather small, supposed to oe 
white, or rather yellowish shade with sev¬ 
eral dark blotches. They w r ere a Winter 
apple, keeping fairly well until early 
i Spring. We put on only one spray, the 
calyx. You never saw such a difference 
in apples. They were a bright color with 
uo dark blotches, no knotty ones, and
