SPRAYING FOR THE MARKET 
GARDENER 
By H. F. Thompson 
(Continued from page 115) 
vent the washing and dripping 
that occurs when a coarse spray is 
used or too long application prac- 
ticed. 
The apparatus and its use 
should be directed to cover foliage 
as evenly and completely as 
possible. There is a tendency on 
the part of inexperienced men to 
spray foliage until it drips in 
' order to cover it thoroughly. 
There should be as little of this 
spray material lost from the fol- 
iage as is possible and still have 
the spraying thoroughly done. 
It is not good practice to hold 
the spray nozzle closer than with- 
in 12 inches of the crop to be 
sprayed, except where it is neces- 
sary to spray under the foliage. 
Then it may be advisable to so 
arrange rods and nozzles that a 
spray is thrown up from close to 
the ground.

ARRANGEMENT OF PLANTING 
Where spraying is to be prac- 
ticed, it is wise to make provision 
for the work when planting by 
arranging rows so that the spray- 
ing apparatus may be carried 
through the fields without injury 
to crops or a loss of labor in 
carrying hose. On our market 
gardens where areas are compar- 
atively small and the land is 
worked intensively, it is not de- 
sirable to drive through planted 
fields more than is necessary. It 
will probably be better to use a 
long hose and locate the spraying 
outfit advantageously. For melons 
and Cucumbers a wide row 
should be left every 50 feet. The 
vines can be laid along the row 
in this case, and the spray rig 
driven through the field, one man 
spraying on either side to the 
distance of 25 feet. For Celery 
the rows can be so spaced that 
the wheels of the spray rig can 
straddle two rows with the horse 
walking between and such a spac- 
ing made every 50 feet.
