WITTE Log-Saw Does the Work of 
10 Men At 1 20 the Cost—

A log saw that will burn any fuel and de¬ 
liver the surplus power so necessary to fast 
sawing is sure to show every owner an 
extra profit of over $1,000.00 a year. 
Such an outfit is the Witte Log-Saw 
which has met such sensational success. 
The Witte, equipped with the celebrated 
Wieo Magneto, is known as the standard

ural “arm-swing” and free from the usual 
log-saw troubles. It uses kerosene, gaso¬ 
line or distillate so economically that a 
full day’s work costs only twenty-two 
In addition to sawing from 10 to 25 
cords a day, the powerful Witte Engine 
can be used to run all other farm ma¬ 
chinery—pump water, grind feed, etc. 
Mr. Witte says that the average user of 
a WITTE Log and Tree saw can make 
easily $40.00 a day with the outfit, and so 
confident is he that he offers to send the 
complete combination log and tree saw on 
ninety days’ guaranteed test to anyone 
who will write to him. The prices are 
lowest in history and under the method of 
easy payments you can make your own 
terms. Only a few dollars down puts the 
Witte to work for you. 
If you are interested in making more 
money sawing wood and clearing your 
place at small cost, write Mr. Witte for full 
details of this remarkable offer. You are 
under no obligation by writing.

—but most of all by actual field use in 
thousands of orchards and gardens— 
under all sortsof climatic and weather 
conditions—on fruit, on vegetables, 
and on shade trees. 
Here’s what a few of your fellow-growers 
have to say about KAYSO. 
Warren W. Oley, Manager for the Seabrook 
Company, Bridgeton, N. /.:“We started using 
KAYSO in an experimenta 1 way. The results were so 
good that we ended up by using KAYSO for over 
two hundred acres of bearing peaches and bearing 
apples.” 
Mayim Bros., Ocall, Fla.: “Find it excellent as a 
spreader for Bordeaux Mixture on cucumbers.” 
E. Karst Orlando, Fla .: “I found KAYSO an 
excellent spreader and it causes the spray to stay on 
the trees much longer. I found it just as useful with 
Black Leaf 40.” 
J. H Allen, EortValley, Ca : “KAYSO enabled 
me to cover more trees and it gave a uniform spread 
over the fruit. It doubles the value of the spray.” 
F. A. Bartlett, Stamford, Conn.: “We have 
used two hundred pounds of KAYSO this year and 
we have estimated that the time saved in spraying 
and efficiency of this work as a result of using KAYSO 
has saved us several hundred dollars.” 
Ben Mattex, Sullivan, Ind.: “In the 
past, the first two or three trees sprayed 
have always showed up very white with 
poison, but at the last of the barrel I could 
hardly tell which trees were sprayed. When 
I added KAYSO, the last trees showed 
iust as much spray as the first ones.”

Trouble With Grapes 
Every year I have trouble with Worden 
grape in that the bunches of berries are 
half green and half ripe. The ripe ones 
shower badly on the ground, each berry 
showing a pinhole. They have been 
pruned and sprayed and bore medium 
crops. Brighton. Niagara and I.ueile 
growing alongside showed none of this 
trouble. Last year I limed the heavy 
loam soil more to let the air in than any¬ 
thing else and sprayed with Black Leaf 
40 with Kayso preparation added just as 
the fruit started to color. Results were: 
no berries showered, but the green berries 
were there just the same, and also had 
to wash off the late spraying before they 
could be used. Is this trouble above 
ground or below? What material is best 
for the last spraying? w. L. 
New York. 
Worden usually does not set perfectl.v 
all the berries that appear to have been 
fertilized. This fault is inherent with the 
variety. In some seasons there will be 
but very few green berries while in an¬ 
other the great number renders the 
cluster unsightly. The presence of many 
immature berries complicates the packing 
of the variety for dessert purposes. 
This defect is no way related with the 
pinhole injury and “shelling” that pre¬ 
vailed in the previous season. The small 
holes are probably the result of the work 
of the grape berry moth, while the “shell¬ 
ing” may have been caused either through 
over-production or from powdery mildew. 
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture-ar¬ 
senate pf lead to which is added resin 
fish-oil soap will control the berry worm 
and mildew. The Bordeaux mixture is 
prepared through use of four lbs. of cop¬ 
per sulphate and four lbs. of lime in 50 
gallons of water. To this is added one 
lb.' of powdered arsenate of lead and one 
lb. of resin fish-oil soap as a spreader. 
The first application of this mixture 
should be made just as soon as the berries 
are set. A second treatment should he 
given about three weeks later and in some 
seasons a third may be required two or 
three weeks following. If the material 
be applied timely there will be no need 
of a late spray that will cause staining. 
It is quite likely that the liming in this 
case had no beneficial effects for the 
troubles here enumerated. The causes 
are entirely above ground and must be 
combatted through spraying rather than 
through any soil treatments. f. e. g. 
The Propagation of Canada Thistle 
M. B. D. in his remarks on the Cauada 
thistle (page 272), assumes that this 
farm pest is spread by seeding. Possibly 
I am wrong, but I came to the conclusion 
many years ago that the seed of this plant 
does not now germinate, at least in cen¬ 
tral New York, although it may have de¬ 
veloped perfect seed in former years or 
ages. 
In 1898 I offered to the readers of an 
agricultural journal a prize of $10 for a 
plant of Canada thistle grown from seed. 
One specimen was sent in, but it proved 
to be a “bulb thistle.” From root cut¬ 
tings the Canada thistle is a persistent, 
multiplier. Its way of propagation is 
most interesting. The main root runs 
horizontally at a depth of 8 to 10 in. 
from the surface, usually on the subsoil. 
A well-established plant will send out 
roots in all directions and in rich soil 
these will extend a distance as great as 30 
ft. each in a single year, each sending ,up 
to the surface of the ground stems of new 
plants from 4 to 10 in. apart. If 10 per 
cent of these succeed in making growth of 
course there is no need for seed propaga¬ 
tion and wings. 
It is interesting to excavate around one 
of these mother plants to the bottom of 
the soil, then follow its ramifications in 
all directions. Cutting off the new stems 
as they rise to the surface is no remedy. 
We might as well attempt to destroy 
asparagus that way. joiin t. Roberts. 
R. N.-l'.—Yet the root will not con¬ 
tinue to spread or grow if the top is kept 
constantly cut off. In such plants the 
growth above ground is necessary in or¬ 
der to have a full root development. If 
the tops of asparagus were kept con¬ 
stantly out off, the roots would in time 
fade away, “Useless one without the 
other.”
