before  the  stream  can  be  stopped.  The 
on t.-offs  at  the  base  of  the  spray  rod 
should  open  or  close  with  a  quarter  turn 
or  loss,  and  should  be  so  placed  that  the 
men  will  be  willing  to  use  them  when¬ 
ever  needed.  When  (lie  cut-off  does  not 
work  well  a  man  will  leave  it  open,  and 
may  waste  many  dollars  worth  or  mate¬ 
rial  in  a  day.  We  have  two  slightly  dif¬ 
ferent  types  of  cut-offs,  aud  find  that 
each  has  some  advantages. 
Spray  Rons  and  Nozzle. — We  use 
two  leads  of  hose  on  each  spray  rig.  The 
spray  rods  are  about  10  feet  long,  and  we 
find  it  handy  to  have  the  hose  about  the 
same  length,  so  that  a  man  can  spray  a 
limb  close  to  him  if  necessary.  With  a 
ten-foot  rod  a  man  can  start  his  spray 
about  20  feet  from  the  ground  and  we 
find  that  enough  to  reach  the  tops  of  any 
of  our  trees.  A  good  spraying  wind  can 
he  depended  on  to  raise  the  spray  at 
least  ten  feet  above  the  end  of  the  rods. 
Our  general  rule  is  to  spray  until  every 
part  of  the  tree  in  sight  is  wet.  There 
are  two  general  types  of  nozzles  in  use. 
They  may  be  called  “mist  spray"  and 
“driving  spray”  nozzles.  Driving  spray 
nozzles  give  a  more  or  less  solid  stream 
which  can  be  thrown  a  considerable  dis¬ 
tance,  They  are  especially  effective  in 
spraying  very  high  trees,  where  it  is  not 
essential  that  both  sides  of  each  leaf 
shall  he  covered.  They  are  mainly  used 
in  spraying  shade  trees  in  cities  and  very 
little  in  orchards.  The  “mist  spray”  noz¬ 
zles  are  developments  from  the  old  “\ Ar¬ 
morer  and  consist  essentially  of  a  steel 
disk  with  a  small  hole  in  the  center  of 
it.  behind  which  is  a  water  chamber  with 
some  device  for  making  the  water  whirl. 
In  many  cases  this  is  a  loose  plate  of  one 
form  or  another.  This  is  not  satisfac¬ 
tory,  as  this  disk  is  very  apt  to  be  lost 
when  cleaning  the  nozzle.  All  nozzles 
of  this  type  tend  to  become  dogged  more 
or  less,  and  the  usual  method  of  cleaning 
is  to  unscrew  the  cap  and  turn  on  the 
pressure  for  a  short  time.  Unless  a  man 
is  unusually  careful  he  wi.ll  sooner  or  In¬ 
tel1  forget,  to  remove  the  loose  plate  be- 
for  turning  on  the  water.  TTe  may  spend 
several  minutes  afterwards  looking  for 
the  plate,  but  is  not  likely  to  find  it.  No 
part  of  a  spray  outfit  is  entirely  “fool¬ 
proof,”  hot  it  is  not  wise  to  use  any¬ 
thing  which  depends  on  a  man’s  being 
especially  careful  unless  it  has  some  par¬ 
ticular  advantage.  One  of  the  earliest 
types  of  the  larger-sized  nozzles  devel¬ 
oped  from  the  old  Vertnnrel  still  takes  the 
lead.  Its  first  form  was  practically  an 
enlarged  Vermorel  without  the  pin  for 
cleaning  out  the  opening.  Later  the  sin¬ 
gle  diagonal  opening  into  the  water  cham¬ 
ber  was  changed  to  one  on  each  side. 
This  form  had  a  very  small  hole  in  the 
steel  plate,  and  gave  a  very  satisfactory 
spray.  At  high  pressures  it  had  a  good 
capacity  and  gave  an  exceedingly  fine 
mist.  The  spray  from  it  in  a  rather  poor 
wind  has  been  seen  to  drift  a  hundred 
feet  or  more,  and  then  drift  back  in  a 
cloud  dense  enough  to  be  quite  unpleas¬ 
ant.  In  a  recent  development  of  this,  six 
holes  the  same  size  as  the  former  two, 
bring  the  water  to  the  chamber  behind  the 
steel  plate,  and  the  hole  in  the  plate  is 
about  an  eighth  of  an  inch  in  diameter. 
With  a  pump  of  large  capacity  four  of 
these  nozzles  give  a  spray  nearly  as  fine 
as  the  older  form,  but  much  denser.  The 
men  must  work  faster  in  spraying  each 
tree,  and  have  to  be  more  particular  to 
stop  spraying  when  moving  from  one  tree 
to  the  next.  When  used  carefully  i.t  is 
much  more  efficient  than  any  other  we 
have  tried.  The  large  hole  makes  it 
much  less  likely  to  clog,  as  almost,  any¬ 
thing  which  will  pass  through  the  screen 
of  the  pump  intake  will  go  out  through 
thp  nozzle.  At  various  times  in  1915 
wo  sprayed  out  2.200  gallons  in  one  day 
with  this  outfit,  the  driver  getting  out 
his  team  after  7  a.  m.  and  1  p.  m.  and 
quitting  at  noon  and  six  o’clock. 
Spray  Materials  and  Application. 
— Bordeaux  and  li, me-sulphur  tend  to  clog 
working  parts  and  small  openings.  Bor¬ 
deaux  corrodes  iron  and  steel.  Lime-sul¬ 
phur  seems  to  out  out  working  parts  rath¬ 
er  rapidly.  The  oil  sprays  affect  the 
rubber,  reducing  its  strength  aud  making 
it  harder  to  keep  the  joints  tight.  For 
aphis  and  pear  psylla  we  spray  when 
there  is  practically  no  wind.  Two 
are  necessary,  driving  on  opposite 
of  a  row  and  spraying  toward  eac*
