Mr. Norwood: I used lime-sulphur and arsenate of lime.
Mr. Stakman: Of course, spraying after buds open wouldn't do any good for the plum pockets at all.
Mr. Norwood: I spray mainly for the brown rot, and I have pretty good luck.
Mr. Cashman: Have you had any experience in using orchard heaters to save plums in cold nights?
Mr. Stakman: I will ask Mr. Cady to answer that.
Mr. Cady: No, I haven't tried to use them.
Mr. Cashman: We tried it this year, and we saved our plum crop. We have tried it the last four years and saved our plum crop each year. We also sprayed each year and had a very good crop of plums when neighbors who had not sprayed had very few, and I am satisfied if we use the proper ingredients and spray properly at the right time, and occasionally use an orchard heater when there is any danger of freezing, that we will raise a good crop of most any plum that is hardy enough for this climate.
A Member: What kind of heaters do you use?
Mr. Cashman: We use oil heaters. We use crude oil, the same oil we use in our tractor engine.
A Member: Where do you buy your heaters?
