this is the time to spray far codlin

bloom is the proper time to ninke
your work count. Ten days after
the blossoms have fallen it is too
late. For good results use the fol
lowing formula: Four ounces of
arsenate soda, twelve ounces of
acedate of lead. Dissolve in water
in separate bucket pour together
and you have sufficient arsenate of
lead for fifty gallons of water, and
all you have to do is to pour your
arsenate into the water and stir
well.
