as it becomes no longer profitable to ship
the vegetables they should be canned,
The profit in this case would doubtless
be small, but it is better to realize a lit
tie than allow the material to waste and
realize nothing.
We have often discussed this matter
of canning factories and published esti-
mates of their cost, but our people are
slow to take hold for the reason that
after thorough investigation they find
the margins ofproft small. They look at
the matt in the wrong light. They should
consider that they have certain num-

In presenting new friend for public
favor there must be substantial reasons
advanced for asking favorable consid-
Grafton of the claims of the new friend.
This is the case with our foot-rot rem
edy as a perfect exierminator of red spi-
der, rust mite and moving scale.
T. FIRsT-I guarantee a perfect cure of
FOOT ROT when instructions are faith
fully carried out.
SECoND--It is so strong that it takes
less of the solution to do the work set
out for it.
TH1RD--Tt costs only about one-half as
much per gallon as most of the insecti-
cides on the market and in no case is
there any risk in using this new friend
on the most tender plant or trees; no
caustic in any form.
Three years ago began to expert
ment and investigate the cause OF foot
rot, "maldi goma", with powerful mag
nifying glasses. [ became satisfied it
was an insect or microscopic worm.
Then came the question, how to reach
it. Ibelieve have solved the problem
as have not failed in single instance
where my insecticide has been tried ac-
cording to directions.

with each barrel sent out as to the meth
cd to be followed in using this late and
