Look at Your Trees
There are now on Long Island thou¬ sands of apple trees and other fruit trees that are passing away because no attention is given to destroying I pests, preventing diseases, or to pro- ; viding plant food.
The sooner some of th'^m pass away the better because the   temptation   to ! spend time and money on them   is   re¬ moved.    Old trees that have produced nothing but wood   may   be  caused   to bear fruit by proper heading, spraying and fertilising; small trees of bearing ; age may be brought into   fraiting  by fertilizing; young trees that have been ^-sapped of   vitality  by  scale   insects should be pmned and sprayed. I     To kill San Jose scale the  spraying < should be done while tbe  tree is in its ' winter   (dormant)   condition   because tbe  strong fluid   (lime  sulpho.*)   will kill folisge.
Don't pot it off. Look after your I trees now. Tbe Agricultural School I at Farmingdale will give you aseist- ; ance if it is asked for now. When the ' |trees begin to pot oot and the warm I days of spring are upon you, it is too late.
I Tbe SUte Agricoltural School at I Farmingdale is now equipped with a ' portable stereopticon and a variety of I slides for popular lectures on dairying, soil fertility, orcharding, planting of home and school grounds, home deco¬ ration and f«rm losses.
Tbe outfit can be osed in a sitting room, school bouse, small hall or church. Electricity not necessary. The Extension Department is at yoor servioe. Use it now. Write A. B. Graham, Farmingdale, Lo^ Island.
