SPRAYING CALENDAR. 
This calendar, in a concise way, gives our friends the benefit of the many experiments made by the 
Agricultural Colleges of the country for a number of years. It is believed they can be followed without 
danger to the crops and much profit to the grower. 
The number of applications given in each case has particular reference to localities in which fungous 
and insect enemies are most abundant. If the crops are not affected at the time advised, the spraying is 
unnecessary. Know the enemy and the remedy, and apply them at the proper season, keeping in mind 
the fact that good judgment and prompt and persistent action is more necessary to success than any defi¬ 
nite rules. 
The applications to which an asterisk * is prefixed are of most importance.
