The Bulletin. 



air sprayers that are carried about by hand (many are in use among 

 tobacco growers), while others object that they hold too little liquid and 

 that too much time is required in filling the tank every few minutes. 



There is just one invariable rule that can be laid 

 down, and that one holds good regardless of whether 

 you are rich or poor, and that is, get a good, strong, 

 durable pump — large enough and strong enough and 

 with enough hose and extension pipe to reach every 

 part of your trees with a fine, misty spray. It is also 

 a great advantage if the pump has an agitator for 

 keeping the liquid stirred so the ingredients will not 

 settle to the bottom. 



It will be well to write to any or all of the follow- 

 ing firms and ask for their illustrated catalogues and 

 price lists of spraying outfits, studv them carefully, 

 figure on the length of hose, extension pipe, etc., be- 

 fore placing your order : 



A few hardware firms in this State carry spray 

 pumps in stock.

Appliances. — Aside from select- 

 ing 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 en- 

 tire outfit- in condition for use. 

 It will also be an advantage to 

 have a stopcock at base of the ex- 

 tension pipe, so the spray can be 

 cut off at any moment to prevent 

 waste. All these little appliances 

 add more or less to the cost, but 

 a suitable arrangement 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.
