The greatest pests with which the
fruit growers have to contend is the
"borer," root lice or blight" Thou
sands of fruit trees wither and die
annually as the result of the raw
ages of these pests, and ii will be
gratifying 10 every farmer and fruit
grower in this section to know that
remedy has been discovered by
the use of which the borer, root lice
aud blight are completely eradicat-
ed and destroyed, while at the same
time the remedy acts as fertilizer
and invigorator of the trees. The
Columbus Advocate of June 13
1895, says of this remedy:
"a number of people have tested
it and in every instance it is spoken
of in the highest terms. DIR. Ward
Mr.. Geo. Burton and Mrs. Martha
Macy of Hallowell and Mr.. T. p. La
Rue, owner of the Cherokee County
Bank of this city, all highly respect.
able people, have tried the remedy
to their entire satisfaction and are
unanimous in their approval of it's
merits. 1t is manufa ctured by John
Wiswell of this city and is known
as Tree Wash and Insect Destroyer
On the same date another Colum-
bus paper, the Star-Courier says:
at is the invention of Cherokee
county man and is worth millions
to the farmers of the United States,
and we believe that in the future, as
soon as the effects are witnessed,
every man who has an orchard or
vineyard will never be without this
remedy. With it we may rely upon
a certain fruit crop, for the wash
not only destroys all worms and
insects injurious to trees, but 1t
also invigorates and restores the
vitality of trees sufficiently to over
come greater extremes of cold. 1t
is a wonderful discovery"
W. E. Price, the popular druggist,
handles the wash and everyone
should try it without fail.
