.pray Applied In Growing Season Will
Kill Trees-hould Be Used
During Winter.
On account of the resistance of
these insects to spray materials it is
impracticable to apply remedial meas
tires during the growing season. A
pray that will kill these pests in most
rases will either kill or seriously in
iure the tree if applied during the
growing season. For this reason these
sprays are given only in winter when
the trees are leafless and dormant.
Spray pumps an( spray materials are
unusually high in price at the present
time. Many people who fool that they
can not buy a Pump at the present
price could no c'oubt arrange to bor
row or rent one from some one in
the neighborhood. In other cases
neighbors may prefer to club together
and buy a pump to be used by the
various members of the club. In buy
ing a spray pump for orchard use pur
chase nothing less than a good bar
rel pump. These vary in construe
tion, some having more desirable fea
tures for certain purposes than oth
ers. (Full information on these points
may be obtained by writing Expert
mont Station, Clemson College, S. C.)
The line of discharge should always
he equipped with a leakless shutoff
dsting somewhere around 75c. An
tlension rod can be made from one
tourtl inch iron pipe having standardI
treads cut at each end. The length
may vary to suit the circumstances,
which may be three feet for grape
1line5, six feet for the trained peach
orchard and nine feet for the taller I
trees. A handy cxtension rod is mada
of three sections of one-fourth inch
f1ron piping with couplings and by

*rder lime sulphur wash from the
commercial plants should do so as
early as convenient owing to the con

express services. In some cases com
munities may desire to make this

ellQwing method is recommended as
being entirely practicable. This div
ision used the following method which
s adapted from Mr. Stewart's bulle
. of the Pennsylvania Experiment
station:
' A one and one-half or two inch
steamn pipe is fitted to a steam bqiler,
horizontally with a gate valve at the
01nd so that the escape of steam can

the sulphur- stirring vigoirously. Do
not allow the mixture to becomo dry.

down intb it gently until it floats, then
readi the figures at the surface of the

that your reading Is 1.024. San Jose
Scale requires 3.03. Divide .03 into
0 ~.024 wvhich gives 8; hence the dilution
Is one to eight parts of water. Sup
posing your reading Is 1.027; then
your dilution is one to nine parts of

1H lOP DRESSING
OF SMALL GRAIN
USUALLY ADDS MATERIALLY TO
THE YIELD SAYS PROF. T. E.
KEITT.
DRIED BLOOD IS EFFECTIVE
When Applying a Top Dresser Appli
cation Should Be Made When
Blades Are Dry.
The topdressing of small grain usu.
ally adds materially to the yield.
During these times when the in
crease in production is so vitally im
portant the proper use of nitrate of
soda, sulphate of ammonia or dried
blood as a topderssing for grain
should prove very effective. At pres
ent prices the use of nitrate of soda
and sulphate of ammonia should prove
most profitable, as they are consider.
ably cheaper per pound of actual ni
trogen than dried blood.
The addition of topdressers to oats
has been particularly effective at the
Coast Station: dried blood applied at
the rate of 120 pounds per acre show
ed an average increase of 24.6 bushels
of oats per acero when applied in addi
tion to 600 pounds of 8.4.4 fertilizer
per acre; sulphate of ammonia at the
rate of 75 pounds per acre, 34.0 bush
els increase; and, nitrate of soda at
the rate of 100 pounds per acre show
ed an average increase of 20.7 bushels
per acre.
At the Pee Dee Station the use of
nitrate of soda as a topdresser for
oats, that had been fertilized at plan'
lng time, applied early at. the rate or
100 pounds per acre has shown an
average increase- (r 19.5 bushels of
oats per acre, a la' ' application of the
same amount of ' "ate of soda show
ed an average iner ,e of 17.0 bushels
per acre: while ''-uble application
made at both tim- showed an aver
age increase of 22 bushels per acre.
These results in(d >ate that an early
topdressing at the rate of 100 pounds
of nitrate pf soda or its equivalent of
sulphate of ammonia, pounds, or
the equivalent of dried blood. 12)
pounds, will give most economical re
sults.
The early applientions are made
about March 1st. Vhen applying a
iCpdresser the application should be
made when the blades of the plants
are dry to prevent scalding.
Generally speaking, larger increases
are obtained from topdressers w'here
the grain has not been fertilized.
Under this condition at the Coast Sta
tion 120 pounds of dried blood showed
a gain of 38.8 bushels of oats. 75
pounds of sulphate of ammonia 45.0
bushels, and 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda 39.4 bushels. However, the total
yield is generally greater when fer
tilizer is applied before planting and
Iatelr a topd)(ressing is used as indi
cated.
The use of topdressers seems1 to be
more effective on light sandy soils
than 01n thle heavlier phases.
