Oil Emulsion SPRAYS

OIL sprays do not control scab and
therefore are not complete substitutes
for lime-sulphur, and If scale is not
serious, It is unwise to change from
lime-sulphur. In old orchards where
scale is getting the upper hand, how
ever, late dormant application of one
of the OIL emulsion sprays for a year
or two is worth trying.

When you ask him where he caught them, he
answers with indefinite wave of his hand,

He doesn't want to be dscourteous but at
the same time he hates to disclose the source
of his piscatorial success.
It's lucky for you that you don't have to
follow such nexplicit directions when you
want to go fishing for opportunities. You
would be justified in dscrediting the Kenne-
bee Journals A-B-C Classified Section if it
followed this method of telling you where to

But it doesn't!
