without excessive dripping. This calls for constant watch- 

 fulness and the exercise of good judgment, especially if the 

 pressure is high and a moderately coarse nozzle employed. 

 The spraying may be from the rig or the ground, or both, 

 much depending upon the equipment and in many cases one 

 man on the outfit and another on the ground will give by 

 far the best results, especially if the latter is not constantly 

 hampered in his actions by a limited amount of hose. "The 

 "spray gun," practically a modification of the nozzle gen- 

 erally employed for gypsy method work, has been used in a 

 number of New York orchards and by some at least with a 

 considerable degree of satisfaction. The successful employ- 

 ment of this device depends very greatly upon a judicious 

 manipulation, with the exercise of constant care to keep the 

 nozzle a reasonable distance from the foliage, otherwise 

 there is apt to be some burning. 



Remembering the need of securing a maximum benefit 

 at a minimum expenditure of time and materials, we would 

 lay special stress on the delayed dormant spray where con- 

 ditions justify its use and especially on the calyx or codling 

 moth spray, the former being desirable in orchards where 

 scale is present and early leaf feeders somewhat numerous 

 and the latter necessary for practically every ai^le tree if 

 we would grow moderately perfect fruit.
