up into fine particles and gives a much better distribution than we 
would at first expect. More poison is used than with the smaller 
type of nozzle, and on narrow streets in particular, more or less 
drifting of the spray and consequent annoyance or even damage 
is almost inevitable. This can be mitigated to a considerable ex- 
tent by skill on the part of the nozzleman. This type of sprayer 
was designed in particular for woodland work and is almost equally 
valuable on wide streets and park areas. Further experience is 
necessary before recommending it unqualifiedly for the average 
city street. A serious objection, especially in small communities, 
is the expense of the equipment, such an outfit costing about $1200. 
Some villages have partially solved the problem by using the 
lighter outfit and a smaller solid stream nozzle adjusted to the 
limited capacity of the engine. This arrangement reduces climb- 
ing greatly and, so far as tried, has given very good results.
