Tests On Two Farms Testswere conducted cm-tseparate farms, one at Spanish Fork and the other at Willard. The nitrogen plus phosphate treatment produced an average of 324bushels per 100- - trees a year at Spanish Fork, 381 bushels at Willard.

Arsenic remains permanently poisonous. Such stored arsenic has caused serious poisoning of hive bees and brood whenever the pollen was consumed for food, whether used immediately, in late season, during spring, or even when consumed after several years. It is fortunate that most of the newer insecticides are synthetic organic compounds,-- the toxic elements of which willgradually n break-dowand become when stored for any appreciable length of time.
