that Philip used the simplest and bold

He copied it again and again, until
it was written freely and carelessly.

day, according TO his calculations.
With this missive committed irrev-
ocably to the care of his majesty's
mails, Victor Grenier's spirits rose.
Now. indeed, he was in the whirlpool.
Would he emerge high and dry in the
FL Dorado of gilded vice which he
longed to enter. or would fortune con-
sign him to Portland again-perchance
to the scafoId? He could not say. He
would not feel safe until Philip Arson

bank.
Already he was planning plausible
lies TO keep Mason out of his fair
share of the plumber. A few more
forged letters would easily establish
/ the fact that he was unable to obtain
a bigger haul than, say, 100000.
And what did Mason want with f25.-

crude tastes. Twenty, fifteen, ten
thousand would be ample for his
wants. The sooner he drank himself to
death the better.
With each fresh cigar Mason's mole

tree. We used pound and thereb,
doubled the expense for material
but as 1t is impossible to do any
damage by using too much, wanted
to be on the safe side and use plenty
The question of expense is q very
small matter If you save good
crop.
To enumerate some of the advan-
tages of dust spray, would say:
Our carrier, lime dust, is in ITSELF
very valuable insecticide. We Sc
cure much more thorough distri-
button. The air takes up our dus:
and spreads it perfectly on al, sides
OF the fruit and foliage. Should a
heavy rain damage it it is quickly
replaced and the bugs headed off.
1t is easier applied; it is cheaper;
it is more expeditions; it is more
effective; it adheres better than the
liquid. There is no burning of the
tonnage or russetting of the apple.
We spray our orchard in six hours.
1t required six days with the old
barrel pump.
am not here to discourage anyone
that is using the liquid process. If
l knew nothing better / should con-
tinue its use myself, but l know posi-
lively from my own practical ex-
perience that there is a better way,
and / am here to tell you of it.
With the liquid spray we wait un-
til the bloom has fallen to do the first
spraying. Now we have noticed that
the period of bloom for most varie.
ties of winter apples extends three
weeks and over, and the bloom that
came out first had been gone for two
weeks before the later opening
bloom on the same trees had gone?
And have you noticed the calyx cups
on at least ten per cent of the fruit
are closed when the bloom has all
fallen?
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1907-01-23

Right here is one of the main
causes of poor success with the IL
quid, in that, for fear of injury to
the bloom, you must wait until por-
ton Of your fruit has closed its cups
before you can begin to spray, and
the failure to get a dose of poison
in these cups results in giving the
. first brood of worms good start.
With the dust we have no fear OF
injury to the bloom and can do our
first spraying as soon as the bloom
commences to fall, our second one
when the bloom is half gone, and the
third spray just as the last bloom
has fallen. In this way we are prac-
tically sure of getting a good dose
in each cup.
Again l would ask. have you ever
examined under a good glass small
apple from the size of a soup bean
to that of a walnut? If so, you
found it covered with fuzz or wool.
ly7like substance, placed there BY
nature to protect the skin Of the
apple from an excess Of moisture.
This fuzz is resistant to the liquid
spray and makes it very difficult to
reach the skin, while. the dust sits
through to it very readily. Then
again, as the apple reaches a large:
size, you have noticed that the skin
becomes oily-another resistant to
liquid, but a substance to which dust
adheres naturally.
l have omitted great many de-
tails of which should like to have
written, but feel that / have al
ready taken too much Of the valua-
BILE time of this convention.
/ thank you for your attention and
will be glad to answer any questions
you may care to ask.
