NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Circular Upon Spraying. 
A revised edition of a leaflet en- 
titled, ‘‘Spraying, why? when? 
how? with what?’’ by Professor F. 
C. Sears, has recently been issued 
by the Extension Service of the 
Massachusetts Agricultural College. 
In answering the question ‘‘why?’’ 
Professor Sears says, ‘‘Of course, 
the need of spraying varies in dif- 
ferent seasons, in different locali- 
ties, and even in different orchards. 
But, if we know the particular pests 
we have to fight in our section and 
use the right remedies for these at 
the right time, | do not believe there 
is an orchard in the state that would 
not be benefited by two or more 
The following are some 
of the pests against which we spray. 
They are arranged roughly in the 
order of their importance.’’ 
Among the pests which he men- 
tions, describes and gives remedies 
for, are: the codling moth, San Jose 
scale, aphis, curculio, blister mite, 
apple maggot, or ‘‘railroad worm,’’ 
the bud moth and the tent caterpil- 
Among fungous troubles are 
the apple scab, brown rot, leaf-curl 
of peach, sooty fungus and fly-speck 
disease of apples. He next tells how 
to prepare and use the different 
spray materials, including arsenate 
commercial lime-sulphur, 
home-boiled lime-sulphur, self-boil- 
ed lime-sulphur, soluble of miscible 
oils, whale-oil soap, bordeaux mix- 
ture, and tobacco products. Under 
spraying apparatus, he discusses 
bucket pumps, knapsack sprayers, 
barrel pumps, power sprayers, noz- 
zles and hose. He then mentions 
some of the conditions which are 
necessary for success in spraying, 
first and most important being the 
man. In addition, he says, ‘‘Get 
ready in ample time,’’ “‘have a re- 
pair kit along,’’ ‘‘be sure you know 
what you are spraying for, and 
what remedies you ought to use,”’ 
‘spray in time,’’ ‘‘spray thorough- 
ly,”’ ‘‘have every convenience for 
the preparation and mixing of the 
spray materials.’’ He then outlines 
the season’s campaign in regard to 
apple orchards in particular, enum- 
erating four different sprayings and 
telling what each is for and the 
most important ones. A copy of 
this circular can be secured by writ-

It is pleasant to go to the theatre 
and see a rattling good play, filled 
to overflowing with quick action, 
wherein a story is told of people 
who do things, even when their ac-

tions are concerned with matters 
upon which the law frowns and 
good people depreciate. Such a 
play is ‘‘The Deep Purple’’ which 
the Empire Stock Co. will offer at 
the Empire theatre all next week 
with matinees daily commencing 
Patriot’s Day. 
In ‘‘The Deep Purple’’ there is 
something doing all the time and 
whether this be suspense that grows 
out of the situation or the actual 
pulling of the gun and killing a 
man, it is the harmony with the gen- 
eral trend of the narrative. ‘‘The 
Deep Purple’”’ tells in a vigorous 
manner a story that grips the at- 
tention and the dramatique fin- 
nesse of Paul Armstrong is mani- 
fested in the sustained interest.
