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 w^ide streets and park areas. Further experience is 

 necessary before recommending it unqualifiedly for the average 

 city street. A serious o1)jection. 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.
