LAMOTTE SOIL TESTER 
Some crops will not thrive in an acid soil, others prefer slight 
or even great acidity. The LaMotte Soil Teskit provides a 
method of determining with accuracy the degree of acidity of 
the soil, yet the cost of the outfit is very low. The cost per test 
is trifling, yet the results are scientific. The set includes a por¬ 
celain plate on which to make the tests, a liberal can of liquid 
for testing, and the LaMotte Soil Handbook. 
This handbook is one of the most complete and valuable books 
ever compiled, as it contains a mass of information gathered 
from the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the many state 
experiment stations. It contains tables showing the soil pref¬ 
erences of all the grasses, vegetables and flowers. Furthermore, 
it tells you just how much lime will be required to correct your 
soil to any desired “sweetness.” This information is given not 
only for large acreages, but also for small gardens. It takes 
two minutes to test a sample of soil accurately at a cost of 
almost nothing. The price per Teskit, $2.00 postpaid. 
A reel of jute twine 
RED COPPER OXIDE 
Recommended for the prevention of damping- 
off of plants of many vegetables as well as some 
flowers. It is a fine powder red in color, to be 
mixed with the seed before sowing. The red copper 
oxide kills the fungi which cause damping-off and 
rotting of seeds before sprouting. Your state 
experiment station can give you information if you 
wish to know their experiences with it. The cost 
of treating seed is from ]4 to lc per pound of seed. Ask your 
Experiment Station for recommendations on its use, or ask us 
for free circular. For Spinach use 2-5 oz. (2 teaspoonfuls) for a 
pound, 4 oz. for 10 lb. or 2)4 lb. for 100 lb. of seed. 
Twine is used on farms for a number of purposes, the main 
one being the bunching of vegetables. It may also be used for 
tying up vines, and in many other ways. It comes wound on a 
spool or reel, like barbed wire, but is in the form of a loose rope 
of 100 strands. In this way it is possible to cut 50 or 100 strings 
the same length at one time. Orders will be accepted for full 
reels only, the average weight being 50 pounds per reel. We 
carry 2 and 3 ply, but will ship 2 ply unless otherwise specified. 
Samples will be sent free on request. Prices are strictly cash 
with order, f.o.b. Milford. Special prices will be made in large 
quantities. Per pound, 16c.
