This is 'Circular 77' he wrote in 1933.

Thanks for the info. guys !

Interesting links, I didnt know how to sulfur my figs now I do.  I also need a 3' x 4' iron pot to boil the ingredients to control scale. apparently 100 years ago figs were a big farm item.  Sometime when I have a lot more time ill read them all.
