mainly owing to the efforts of the Department of Agriculture, 

 during the past five years, in demonstrating to them, in various 

 places throughout the province, the proper way to spray. The 

 Department at the outset came to the conclusion that if success 

 was to be attained they must have good machines to work with, 

 and in order to settle the much disputed point as to which was 

 the best spraying apparatus, invited all the manufacturers of 

 spraying appliances to come and test their machines in actual 

 work, under judges appointed by the Fruit Growers' Association 

 of 0)itario, which was done by all those having confidence in 

 their apparatus, and which included the best machines made in 

 Canada and the United States. The result of this trial was to 

 effectually dispel all doubt as to 

 which appliance was the best, 

 and proved that there was no 

 longer need of going out of 

 Canada for spraying appliances, 

 but rather that the Americans 

 were so com{>letely excelled that 

 they are now importing .spraying 

 apparatus from the Spramotor 

 Co., even against an almost pro- 

 hibitive duty. 



This trial, placing as it did 

 the Spramotor first, has saved 

 the farmers and fruit growers of 

 Canada thousands of dollars by 

 preventing them from buying 

 poor, cheap and hard-working 

 pumps, which have done more 

 to discourage the practice of 



spraying than all other causes combint-d, as well as tht 

 quent loss and disgust in their use.
