... agreed to look after the dusting, fertilization, and cultivation. Mr. Gallagher purchased a Niagara Power Duster and agreed to follow all our recommendations, dusting when and how he was told, fertilizing and cultivating as advised. Photo of Dusting with Soluble Sulphur It was just time to commence operations when we took over this work. As the orchard was quite badly infested with San Jose Scale, our first recommendation was an application of Soluble Sulphur Dust. The orchard was in need of fertilization, so we applied 12 pounds of Nitrate of Soda per tree just as the leaf buds were opening. This was spread evenly over the ground, starting two feet from the trunk and extending as far out as the limbs reached. Throughout the season applications of Sulphur and Sulphur-Lead Dusts were made at the proper times to control fungus diseases and chewing insects. Cultivation was carefully looked after. The crop harvested in the Fall was so satisfactory, and so profitable a one to Mr. Gallagher, that he has each year since asked for a continuation of Niagara Service, which we have been very pleased to extend. The same policy of dusting, applications of nitrate, and cultivation have been closely followed every year. In 1923 the crop harvested was 3,012 bushels. In 1924 the crop harvested was 3,601 bushels. In 1925 the crop harvested was 2,589 bushels. In 1926 the crop harvested was 2,764 bushels. In 1927 the crop harvested was 3,220 bushels. The total crop in five years from these 200 trees was 15,176 bushels, or figuring three bushels to a barrel, over 1,000 barrels a year. Every year the fruit packed over 98% free of scab or worm. The apples have been good color and fine
