Show GET READY TO SPRAY Y NOW 0 experienced fruit growers know that fruit pests can be controlled and clean fruit produced by proper spraying proper and economic spraying should be preceded by pruning I 1 I 1 there is and has always been a good demand tor for high grade and good quality of fruit but the time has come when interior inferior fruit will not be accey ted on the market because in the pa past t this kind of fruit has fixed the price of the good quality and the trade has about decided that even at a lower price it Is a loosing game to handle the stuff that will not give tion to the consumer A rather careful survey of the situation has suggested that the growers are very poorly equipped with spray pumps and other outfits necessary to properly do the work and this suggests the necessity of immediate action toward securing outfits and help to do the work procrastination is said to be the thief of time so do not delay this important thing the most successful time to apply the dormant or winter spray Is about the time that the buds are bursting but with the limited outfits at hand we cannot afford to wait tor for that time but must commence at it has been proven that most orchard pests can be controlled as well at this time as later gothere is not sufficient reason tor for any delay in spraying lime sulphur solution has given absolute satisfaction as a dormant spray and will kill hill when applied properly san jo jose be scale red spider and the twig borer which la Is responsible tor for a large per cent of the split stones and gummy fruit and numerous other pests which are wintering hi in t the b e orchards it will also help control the fungus spraying may be a profitable investment or an absolute waste dependent upon efficiency of 0 application the proper solution must be used sufficiently strong to do the work aud and each and every part of the tree be covered with the material unless thoroughness is maintained in the application the results will not be satisfactory and spraying may be largely a waste the custom of spraying by the gallon galion is not satisfactory rather hire by the hour or day better each grower or small group of growers have their own outfit so that sufficient time can can be taken to do a THOROUGH job especially ally does it seem to be wasteful to use the foggan and low pres pressure suro in an orchard or rather small peach trees where but little area Is to be covered so now we must remember that to be a successful fruit grower it must muk bring satisfaction and a sufficient remuneration mune ration for the effort expended and that absolutely no satisfaction cam caa come to grower shipper or colsum mer it if the product Is not good it N i a pleasure to buy or sell good fruit therefore let us prune spray and produce nothing but the best to summarize would say first thoroughness in every detail of the work second time and no time like the present third material to be used nothing better than lime proper spraying after good pruning followed up with proper cultivation and care will produce clean ruit fruit ant and make your banker smile and your bank hook book bulge fifth you are your brothers keeper and must help him keep his place clean by keeping your own clean sixth dont raise interior inferior fruit the market want it and you will not like to 6 grow row it for nothing FARM BUREAU by its fruit and pest committee committe endorsed CARL ISAACSON crop pests inspector |
