one hand pump? 



Mr. Henry. It depends on the size of the trees. With 

 peach trees I suppose the reason he hasn't had power is be- 

 cause he has only sprayed on the spring with that lime-sul- 

 fur; and of course he can start early and there is no foliage 

 on to bother. It is a lot different from spraying big apple 

 trees for the coddling moths. 



A Member. You spray as fast as possible for apples? 



Mr. Henry. Yes. You have got to have enough pumps 

 to go all over the whole orchard within four or five days, 

 ^nd really you ought to be able to get over it within three, 

 because while you have more than three, you are apt to have 

 bad weather, and if you have a couple of days of rainy 

 weather out of the week when you cannot spray for the cod- 

 dling moths, if you haven't got enough to spray, some or- 

 chards will loose a lot of money right there quick. You have 

 got to have enough to spray quickly. 



Mr. Stone. I have some trees in an old orchard, but 

 they are high up. What can I use for nozzles ? 



Mr. Henry. Instead of trying to get it from a nozzle 

 which will drive it against the wind — I have never been able 

 to do that yet — you have got to use a long extension rod. 

 We have some very high pear trees, branching out near the 

 ground, but very tall old trees, and so we got 20 feet of 

 quarter inch pipe and put the nozzle on top of that and 

 sprayed the trees. You can get a pressure up there easy 

 enough. There is no use in driving the stream. You ought 

 to use an extension rod; and, by the way, use plenty of ex- 

 tensions. We use 10 feet on peaches, and more, if necessary, 

 on apples. But you can get the spray up high by an exten- 

 sion rod and not by the nozzle. — Everything at our cooking 

 plant runs by gravity. We don't lift a pound of material 

 through the whole season. It runs into the cooking tank 

 and the spraying tank. 



A member. How far do you haul it? Does your pipe 

 run through the orchard? 



Mr. Henry. We have the spraying plant right in the 

 middle of the orchard. Locate it right; put up your tank 

 and substitute that for hose and pipe, use two inch pipes in- 

 to the spraying outfit. 



Mr. Castner. Wouldn't it be a saving of time to have 

 the pipe and have the filling system there ? The time lost in
