I AH OIL SPRAYS FIVE YEARS SUC CESSIVE USE. By Paul it. Jones. Three main types of oil sprays have been used: Mechanic»! mixtures, me chanical emulsions, and «mulshing of the miscible oil type A mechanical mixture Is essentially a mixture of oil and waler at high pressure, and for the most part distillate« running from 2H »b-gr»*«s 34 degree» and crude kerosenes have lieen used. While many experiment stations still recommend this easy process of using oil sprays, the speaker has never and cannot consch-ntlously, r»eomrnen»l this type of an oil preparation, since eventually, th« oil aefianUes out on the tree. an»l If there Is any trouble at all with the spraying outfits In th« way of agitation, considerable Injury Is liable to result. The m xt type »if oil sprays ar« me chanical »-mulsions or those in which th« oil Is «mtilslfl»-»j by high pressure with a certain quantity of whale oil or fish »ill s»tap in hot water, making a stock solution Most of these st»K-k emulsions run from 50 to ¡>«r cent In oil content, and ar« diluted according tn th« work In prospect, whether they ar»* for summer or winter use The oils which have Is-en use«I for this pur- | h , s «' ar«* mainly k«*ros«nes, zv d**gr»*«-s to 34 degrees distillates of various kinds, and some crude oil, although the latter usually forms too thick a stock emulsion by this proceas. Classed ulong with these would come the distil late and crude oil emulsions, which are made by the fruitgrower at home for Immediate use in the spray tank by whale oil soups, but which are not stock emulsions This Is Usually done by dissolving a certain amount of whale oil soap or Ibtuld soap or oleic acid, which Is a fatty acid in conjunc tion with some alkali, to form a strong soapy solution, and then while the agi tator is running, to slowly pour In the distillate or crude oil. whichever is to Continued on page Hix POWER BCÄN pown» SPRAYrkS ars stKer. duraUs, efficient, an! differ c ’sf y I- airs and capacity.

It has proven itself to tie wonderful In p»is»«s»ing so many of the good qualities desired in a walnut, »ombined In one variety, among which are large six»*, early and continued heavy bearing, blight resistance, thin ami perfectly sealed shell, large meat content, sturdy growth and hardln«»». The former editor of this paper in vestigated this nut, and confirm»-»! all of the points mentioned above, and found whole rows of these tr«es in nursery where every one-year graft fr»irn one to ten feet high, presented walnuts, and in orchard form small trees planted th»- year before showed a heavy crop of nuts. While we are used to the smaller walnuts, and it may be said that for som»» purposes, appl»*s and oranges, for Instance, may be too large, still any fruit or nut to which a person would h«lp himself to mor»- than one, cannot be too large, if It has the quality, which this nut certainly has. The larg>- and handsome appearance of this nut will comman»l the attention of the trade, the quality will hold it. There is n»t doubt of the success of this wal nut with the fancy trade.
