METHOD OF APPLICATION. 
The dry powder is_placed in the powder reservoir of the gun, or duster, and is blown 
over the foliage. The dust is so light, fine and uniform that it comes out in a cloud and 
spreads over the plant more rapidly than wet sprays can be applied. The foliage and 
fruit are covered with the protective dust very completely, and in about one-fifth of the 
usual time. The dust sticks just as well as a wet spray, and gives a much more even 
and thorough covering. In fact, dusting methods have proven far superior to wet 
methods, and the danger due to injury from “burning” is practically eliminated. 
SUMMARY OF GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. 
In planning to poison the weevil, the following primary points should be remembered: 
. Use only Calcium Arsenate conforming to the specifications mentioned. 
. Allow for five pounds per acre per application. 
. Use only dusting machinery of the nature described. 
. Plan to apply about four applications at an interval of once a week. 
. Do not allow more than fifteen acres to a single hand gun. 
6. Start when the infestation reaches about ten per cent. of the squares present 
on the plants or, in other words, when the first punctured squares begin to fall in some 
numbers. ; 
As a matter of precaution any one in the least doubtful of the quality of his Calcium 
Arsenate should immediately send a sample to the Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, Louisiana, 
for an analysis, giving a complete history of where he secured this material. He will then 
be furnished with an analysis of this as quickly as possible and without any charge.’’

THE FEENY BLOWER 
DUST GUN.—Not merely a 
Dust Gun but a real “‘strapped 
on” dusting machine. Perfect 
distribution and regulation 
of material. This is truly the 
best constructed and most per- 
fect dusting outfit ever offered. 
Do not confuse it with any 
other dust gun you have ever 
seen or used, as it is different 
from all others, in both prin- 
ciple and design. 
The operation is the most 
natural and easy one possible 
and the perfect manner in 
which it handles all kinds of 
powdered dusting material is 
not even remotely approxi- 
mated by any other dust gun 
on the market. 
Dusts two rows as fast as 
a man can walk. Price, $17.50
