PARADOW 
Paradow (pure paradichlorobenzene) is a 
white crystalline substance which vaporizes 
slowly at ordinary temperatures. The gas 
given off is approximately five times heavier 
than air and its odor resembles that of 
naphthalene. The gas is harmless to man, 
but decidedly poisonous to many insects when 
they are exposed to it for a considerable 
period of time. Time of application, October 
lst to November 30th. It can also be used in 
the spring, early in March. Paradow is recom- 
mended for use on trees 6 years old and over.

Insecticides and Fungicides 
FLUXIT SPREADER 
In dry form and is designed primarily for 
use with Arsenate of Lead and Lime Sulphur 
solution. Fluxit Spreader functions to provide 
more effective film coverage for Arsenate of 
Lead. It also provides buffering action through 
protective colloids, making it possible to re- 
duce Hydrated Lime diluent effect to a mini- 
mum. This same colloidal action buffers the 
action between Arsenate of Lead and Liquid 
Lime Sulphur, largely preventing the forma- 
tion of black sludge (Lead Sulphide) in the 
tank, and reducing danger from the combina- 
tion. The low dosage of Spreader required 
(Y% to Y% lb. per 100 gallons) makes its cost 
negligible. 
Postpaid, 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.45; 
$4.60; 25 lbs., $10.60. 
SOY BEAN FLOUR SPREADER 
A most excellent spreader and sticker pro- 
duced by the farmer. Compatible with all 
summer sprays. Being a vegetable product it 
does not change the spray material chemically 
in the least. Orchardists have not used a 
spreader consistenly in the past, but now 
there is no reason to leave out this valuable 
asset to the spray program. It prevents exces- 
sive run off of the material you want to re- 
main on the fruit and leaves, giving a uniform, 
even, heavy film of the fungicides and insecti- 
cides at almost no cost. Use 4 pound per 
50 gallons of spray.

BLUESTONE (Copper Sulphate) 
Formula for making Home Made Bordeaux.

If the above directions are correctly followed 
you will have 50 gallons of standard strength 
4-6-50 Bordeaux. By combining the Bluestone 
and the Lime in different proportions, one can 
make any strength Bordeaux Mixture desired. 
In Bordeaux formulas the first figure given 
means pounds of Bluestone (Copper Sulphate); 
the second figure means pounds of hydrated 
lime, and the third figure means gallons of 
water. Use only wooden or crockery contain- 
ers for dissolving bluestone.

OIL EMULSION 
For a dormant spray, Oil Emulsion provides 
the cheapest, most effective and complete con- 
trol of scale insects, aphis and thrips that 
winter over on trees. For scale control on all 
fruit trees, use 2 gallons of Oil Emulsion 
to 97 gallons of water, slightly more if scale 
infestation is heavy. If your water is ex- 
tremely hard, 4 pounds Bordeaux added to 
each 50 galons of water, before adding the 
oil, will prevent oil from curdling. To get 
best results, every part of the tree must be 
completely covered. Spray in fall, agter 
leaves and fruit are off, or in spring before 
buds swell. To control peach leaf curl and 
scale, combine Oil Emulsion with prepared 
Bordeaux Mixture or home-made Bordeaux.

Used for the control of Brown Rot and 
Peach Scab on small fruits; also Powdery 
Mildew, Black Spot, certain rusts and other 
sulfur-responding fungi on roses, perennials

takes place the damage is done. Spraying 
or dusting must start early, and the fruit and 
foliage must be kept thoroughly covered with 
a fungicide right up to harvest. The disease 
is ever present, and the first steps toward 
control should be eradication of the most 
harmful sources of carry-over. Five pounds 
of Dritomic Sulfur is sufficient to make 100 
gallons of spray. Complete directions on each
