could spray without danger of hurting the sale of the ap- 

 ples. 



Mr. Castner. I have sprayed as late as the first of Sep- 

 tember, and we are getting a larger sale every day. 



Mr. Ellsworth. You let the Massachusetts State Board 

 of Health find any arsenate of lead on your apples and then 

 you will see. 



Mr. Frost. Send them out to Oregon and you will get 

 it. 



Mr. Race. It don't seem wise to have the word go be- 

 fore the public that you can have poison on anything and it 

 will not do any harm. Simply, the poison isn't good for 

 anything, or else it will do harm. i i, \^,, 



Mr. "Wheeler. I would like to ask, Mr. Henry, if you 

 get 200 pounds pressure from a hand pump, or gasolene. 



Mr. Henry. No. I have to use gasolene for 200 pounds 

 I would hate to have to pump a hand pump and get 200 

 pounds pressure by hand. 



Mr. "Wheeler. I didn't know but you had. 



Mr. Henry. I never. I wish I had. I wouldn't use 

 the power if I could help it, because gasolene engines are 

 rather cranky concerns. 



A member. Is it advisable to use a hand pump if you 

 could get the pressure? i-,rir ro* ' i, 



Mr. Henry. Yes, yes. You can do fine work with a 

 hand pump; only you musn't try to run too many leads or 

 to many nozzles. You want to get up a good pressure and 

 it is better to have that good pressure with two nozzles than 

 poor pressure with four nozzles. Keep up a good pressure 

 and do well what you do, rather than try to put out a lot 

 of stuff. Use a good pressure and a lot of hose. You caik 

 do fine work with a hand pump. 



A Member. How many trees can you have and profita- 

 bly use a hand pump? 



Mr. Henry. Up to the present time I can answer that I 

 have knowledge that Mr. Lyman of our state has 400 acres 

 and uses hand pumps up to the present time. 



A Member. How many? 



Mr. Henry. I couldn't count them. I don't know 

 whether he can or not. (Laughter). 



A Member. How much acreage would you go over with
