COMMUNITY CLUB FAIRS SUCCESS
Some one said a Fair is the in
dex for a community. If this is
true, and it must -be, Houston

stock, poultry, dairy products,
canning, sewing, and reports
rendered by club members were
an honor to any people.

and to inspire com 111 uties to great

deavors. Our white friends, Mrs.

unstinted in their praises of the ;
progress of the colored people of

Making Casein-Lubricating Oil Emulsion
On The Farm
In making the cold pumped lu
bricating emolsion for use in con
trolling the San Jose scale 011
peach trees as outlined in a circu
lar issued trom this laboratory 011
October 20th. 1024. growers are
particularly cautioned to mix the
calcium caseiuate and water to
gether first before adding the oil
as it is impossible to get a satis
factory cold pumped emulsion if
the oil and calcium caseiuate are
mixed first.
As a matter of facjt when the
oil, water and calcium cascinale
are mixed together an emulsion
results which will not mix with
water when diluted aud if used
may result in serious injury to
peach trres 011 account of free oil.
If the directions below are closely
followed in preparing the cold
pumped material a safe, cheap,
and effective emulsion will result.
Red enjiue oil or oil of similar
grade 30 gals.
Water 15 gals.
Calcium caseiuate 4 lbs.
The following equipment is nec
essary; Two 50 gallon barrels; 1
duplex or triplex pump, and one
3 or 4 h. p. engine (the ordinary
power sprayer with suction attach
ment).
The 4 pounds of calcium casei
nate is thoroughly and rapidly
stirred in about 2 gallons of water.
This mixture is then placed in a
barrel and the additional 1'I gal
lons of water added and stirred
again. Place suction hose in the
50 gallon barrel and start motor.
When the pressure registers 200
pounds, allow the ingredients :o
be sucked through the pumps and
out through the spray rods, either
with discs removed or with discs
having a 3-1C inch apperture, into
another 50 gallon barrel. If de
sired, one rod can be shut off soj
that all the material passe? through |
one rod.
This material should pass,
through the pumps under pressure;
at least three times. Lubricating
