Appliances. —Aside from se- 

 lecting a good pump, you must 

 also decide how much hose you 

 want, how long an extension pipe 

 will be needed, and the kind of 

 nozzle. You must also state that 

 you want whatever connections, 

 washers, etc., will be needed to 

 put the entire outfit in condition 

 for use. It will also be an ad- 

 vantage to have a stopcock at 

 base of the extension pipe, so the 

 spray can be cut off at any mo- 

 ment to prevent waste. All these 

 little appliances add more or 

 less to the cost, but a suitable ar- 

 rangement of them is the very 

 making of a satisfactory outfit. 

 For bucket, knapsack and com- 

 pressed-air pumps, from six to 

 ten feet of extra hose is enough, 

 but for barrel pumps we advise 

 at least fifteen feet of extra hose. 

 The extension pipe should be six to ten feet long, according to the size 

 of trees. We give preference to the "Vermorel" type of nozzles. The 

 "Friend" nozzle (made by the Friend Manufacturing Company) is an 

 excellent one, but costs more. We like to have a stopcock at base of 

 extension pipe.

SPRAYING DEMONSTRATIONS— Proof of Value of Spraying. 



For the past five years (including 1912) the Divisions of Entomology 

 and Horticulture of the State Department of Agriculture have con- 

 ducted jointly a series of public demonstrations in the spraying and 

 pruning of orchard trees — especially apples. This account has to do 

 only with the spraying, which is done by the Division of Entomolog}\
