COMPRESSED AIR SPRAYING. 
I send you a photograph of my spray 
rig, which I think for a small mixed 
fruit grower is just the thing. It is a 
compressed air rig composed of two 
air tanks of 76 gallon capacity, one 
either side of a liquid tank holding 100 
gallons, which arrangement gives great¬ 
er power capacity and keeps the load in 
the center. With 150 gallons of com¬ 
pressed air at 200 pounds for starting, 
we have 125 pounds at finish of spray¬ 
ing 100 gallons of liquid, no matter 
how many nozzles are used. The pres¬ 
sure is used from both air tanks as 
one, controlled by one valve. The hose 
to left of, piping is charging air from

a double acting 3x4 Jacobson compres¬ 
sor run by a 3J/2 horse power gasoline 
engine which at other times runs a 
washing machine and wringer, a 3-inch 
rotary exhauster for vacuum sweeping 
and wood saw. The sprayer as shown 
is rigged in combination style to show, 
first, arrangement of nozzle for spray¬ 
ing currants, gooseberries, raspberries 
and with further extensions for straw¬ 
berries; also hose at top near control 
valve for spraying trees. As many 
leads as wanted can be used without 
affecting the pressure or power. All 
material goes through a strainer which 
does away with clogging nozzles. Last 
year one man managed the team and 
did all the spraying on 60 acres of 
bearing orchards and small fruits, and 
did as good work as can be done by 
Peach Prospects in New Jersey. 
Reports of recent severe injury to peach 
buds have been made from many parts of 
the country, and a report of their condi¬ 
tion in New Jersey may be of interest at 
this time. Unusually warm weather pre¬ 
vailed in the early Winter, which caused 
peach buds to make a slight growth. This 
was followed by abnormally low tempera¬ 
tures in January and some injury to buds 
has • resulted. When the temperature falls 
much below 10 degrees some injury to 
peach buds is likely to occur, although 
there is a marked difference in varieties. 
Such sorts as Early and Late Crawford, 
Reeves’ Favorite and Mountain Rose are 
quite sensitive to low temperatures, while 
Greensboro, Waddell and Carman are much 
hardier. A recent examination of the peach 
buds at the experiment station at New 
Brunswick showed the following results. 
Belle of Georgia, five per cent alive; El- 
berta, 12 per cent; Reeves’ Favorite, 13 
per cent; Alexander, 39.5 per cent; Greens¬ 
boro, 91.5 per cent; Carman, 91.0 per cent. 
An examination of the buds at the ex¬ 
periment orchard at High Bridge showed 
about GO per cent of the buds of Mountain 
Rose and Elberta to be alive, with a much 
larger proportion of the buds of such sorts 
as Greensboro, Carman and Ililey in good 
condition. At the experiment orchard at 
Vineland, N. J., the only variety to show 
serious injury was Reeves Favorite, with 
slight injury to such sorts as Early and 
Late Crawford, Fox Seedling, Stump and 
Mountain Rose. ... , , , 
As an estimate of condition throughout 
the State, it is probable that a consider¬ 
able proportion of the buds of such ten¬ 
der varieties as Reeves’ Favorite, and Early 
Crawford have been destroyed, while con¬ 
siderable injury has undoubtedly occurred 
to such varieties as Elberta, Champion and 
Belle of Georgia in the central and north¬ 
ern portions of the State. There is prob¬ 
ably considerable variation in the amount 
of injury in different orchards of the same 
varieties, due to location and variation in 
temperature. In the southern counties, 
where the temperature has not fallen below 
eight degrees, such varieties as Elberta, 
Belle of Georgia, Carman, Ililey and Greens¬ 
boro are probably uninjured. Varieties such 
as Greensboro, Waddell, Carman and Hiley 
should have a sufficient number ot live 
buds to produce a crop in all portions ot 
the State. As certain varieties, such as 
Reeves’ Favorite, Mountain Rose, box 
Seedling and Stump were practically a fail¬ 
ure in 1911, it will be forced upon the at¬ 
tention of peach growers that a proper 
selection of varieties, with reference to 
hardiness, is a very important consideration 
in planting, commercial orchards in New 
Jersey. a» blakis.

of rig. 
By having two rigs one is being 
charged while the other is being used, 
so spraying is always going on without 
a single stop being made the entire sea¬ 
son on account of apparatus trouble. 
The wagon is arched high to go astride 
the small fruits mentioned, has 6-inch 
tires to stay on top of ground, and 
has a loose step ladder hanging from 
platform resting against nut on rear 
axle, making mounting the platform 
easy. The operator stands on top plat¬ 
form for high work and on ground for 
low, the control valve being placed ac¬ 
cessible in either case. I like it be¬ 
cause there are no working parts in the 
orchard to annoy the operator nor any 
noisy engine to annoy the team.

The Right Spray-Pump 
plus the Best Quality Spray Materials 
One is not sufficient, you must have both, if you would 
spray most effectively and profitably. 
The “One-Man” Spray-Pump 
Have you tried the bucket-pump and found you did not have enough hands? 
Has your small compressed air sprayer burst in the midst of spraying operation*? 
Have you tried the barrel-pump and found it too hard to operate? 
If you have experienced these troubles, you will find them eliminated in Sherwin- 
Williams “One-Man” Spray-Pump. It is the first pump on the market which can be 
oocrated successfully by one m.n on tracts ranging from a small garden patch to full- 
urown orchards of two to four acres. A few minutes’ easy pumping compresses sufficient 
a to* sprayw i fho u tag ain touching the lever for fifteen or twenty minutes at a pressure 
which will spray to the top of the tallest orchard-trees. It is ^“fc?Man” p C ump you 
arranged that a breakdown is practically impossible. With the One-Man 1 ump you 
can save half the cost of labor and produce far better crops. 
Effective Spray Materials 
Many are paying exorbitant prices for the choice Western-grown fruit when they 
have full-sized fruit trees on their own grounds. 1 he remedy is simple. AcJ PP^ 
same methods of culture and spraying and you will have just as good fruit as is produced 
in tiie West. . , 
The Quality of the spraying materials should be considered. Cheap materials may 
kill the worms, but generally injure the fruit and burn the foliage, whereas, the highest 
type— Sherwin-Williams Insecticides and Fungicides—will produce clean, healthy crops. 
The Line consists of S-W New Process Arsenate of Lead, Lime-Sulfur Solution, 
Paris Green and Bordeaux Mixture (Paste), which will cover, practically every require¬ 
ment of the orchard or garden, producing the best results obtainable at a minimum cost.

A copy will be mailed for the asking. 
If your dealer cannot furnish you the pump, send $30, with
