Show GET READY TO SPRAY NOW 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 there there is and has always been a good akmand demand tor for high grade and good quality finality of fruit but the time has come coma lieu beu interior inferior fruit will not be accepted on the market because in the past this kind of oe fruit has fixed the price ot 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 gite satisfaction to the consumer A rather careful survey of the situation has suggested that the growers are very poorly equipped with ith spray pumps and other outfits necessary to properly do the work and tills this suggests the necessity of immediate action to ward securing outfits and help to do the work procrastination js is said to be the thief ot 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 burstin gj but with the limited outfits at hand band we cannot afford to wait tor for that time but must commence at once it h has as been proven that most orchard pests can be controlled as well at this time as later so there is not sufficient reason tor for any delay in spraying lime sulphur solution has div given en absolute satisfaction as a dormant spray and will kill when ap applied plied properly san jose scale red hed spider and the twig borer which is responsible for a large per cent of the split stones and gummy fruit and numerous other posts pests which are wintering in the orchards it will also help control the fungus spraying may be a profitable investment or an absolute waste dependent upon efficiency of application the proper solution must be used sufficiently strong to do the work and each and levery every part of the tree be covered with the material unless thoroughness 1 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 is not satisfactory rather hire by I 1 tile the hour or day better each grower or small group ot of growers have their own outfit so that sufficient time can be taken to do a THOROUGH job especially ally does it seem to lie be wasteful to use the foggan and low pressure in an all 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 bring satisfaction and a sufficient remuneration mune ration for or the effort expended and that absolutely no satisfaction can come to grower shipper or colsum mer it if the product Is not good it a 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 sulphur fourth proper spraying after good pruning followed up with proper cultivation and care will produce clean fruit and make your banker smile and your bank 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 grow it for or nothing BRIGHAM FARM BUREAU by y its fruit and pest committee endorsed CARL ISAACSON crop pests inspector |
