Withstand Shocks of 300 Sledge 
Hammer Blows Per Minute 
The results of various exhaus¬ 
tive factory tests imposed upon 
Champion Spark Plugs complete¬ 
ly demonstrate their ability to 
endure every punishment your 
car’s engine can impose. 
The test illustrated here is 
known as the “shock test.” The 
shock, which the Champion Spark 
Plug must survive without in¬ 
i' ury, is the equivalent to a weight 
of 3# pounds, dropping with the 
rapidity of 300 times per minute. 
^ The . qualities that enable 
Champion Spark Plugs to suc¬ 
cessfully withstand such severe 
trials are largely a result of ten 
years' study and experimenting 
that developed our patented gas¬ 
ket construction and our Number 
3450 insulator. 
This superior Insulator offers 
2}^ times the resistance to shock 
and vibration compared with the 
best previous insulator. That is 
one of the several reasons why 
Champion Spark Plugs are more 
durable and dependable than 
ordinary spark plugs. 
There is a Champion Spark 
Plug for every type of motor car, 
motor truck, tractor, motorcycle 
and stationary engine.

Spraying Time Again 
Part II. 
Spray Injury. —We have seen only 
two trees which were sprayed too well. 
In a certain young orchard it was neces¬ 
sary to “carry the rows” because of the 
character of the wind. Two trees where 
we turned were sprayed every time we 
passed them and had time to dry between 
sprayings. They were pretty well white¬ 
washed by the time the job was done, and 
most of the leaves fell off in a few weeks. 
What few apples they bore were injured 
by the spray. However, it is not often 
that a _tree will be fully covered with 
spray 15 or 20 times in a half day, and 
much less than that seems not harmful. 
Thorough Work Needed. —The whole 
history of spraying puts a premium on 
thoroughness. With the best rig we could 
get the season before the gun appeared 
we thought we were covering the trees 
very well, but the latter part of the season 
was such that much scab developed, and 
about 15 feet, from the ground was a per¬ 
fectly plain line separating the sprayed 
from the unsprayed parts of the tree. A 
person standing up on a load of hay near 
certain orchards was in a position to see 
sprayed apples below the level of his eyes 
and unsprayed ones above. The next year' 
with a gun we tried to get the tops of the 
trees, and raised the general level of the 
top of the spraying at least five feet. 
Last Spring with two guns and a better 
understanding of how to use them we 
reached the tops of most of the trees. In 
one orchard one day we had a “down 
wind.” but thought by persistence and the 
use of much spray material that we had 
reached the tops on that side. When my 
father was thinning iii that block he 
showed us how the apples were all good 
except up high on the southeastern part of 
each tree, and there the good fruit ran up 
in streaks as we were able to reach up 
with the occasional moments of good wind. 
It was a most convincing proof of the 
necessity of absolute thoroughness in 
spraying. One branch would have all per¬ 
fect fruit, while the next one, perhaps 
only a foot away, would have nothing 
better than canners. 
Getting Results. —In spraying with a 
gun, more than with any other outfit, we 
must preach and practice thoroughness be¬ 
cause we have the best tool and should use 
it accordingly. The man who uses or¬ 
dinary nozzles, and especially the man 
who uses angle nozzles, will always be 
prevented from getting the best results by 
the limitations of his outfit. In theory 
the angle nozzle is all right, especially 
when the theory is based on the control 
of codling-moth as the main reason for 
spraying, but in practice, if we get a good 
enough job to control scab, we will con¬ 
trol the apple worm and the apple mag¬ 
got without further worry. At the proper 
time to control scab the part of the apple 
y here much more than half of the scab 
infection occurs is covered by a wide um¬ 
brella <f the expanded calyx lobes, and 
cannot be reached by the downward spray 
of the angle nozzle. It must be reached 
by a horizontal or upward spray. The 
ordinary straight nozzle is better than the 
angle, but it is still far below the gun. 
With the gun we can fill the whole inside 
of the tree with a mist moving in all di¬ 
rections, and can thoroughly coat one side 
of practically every apple. As the driver 
has nothing to do but manage the team, 
we can make him drive a little farther 
around the tree each way, and reach a lit¬ 
tle more of it. If we do the same from 
the other side, and try to reach as much 
of every tree as the wind will permit, we 
shall have insured many more perfect 
apples, and if we get time to double up on 
the trees a little we can hit some spots 
we partly missed before, and get some 
more good fruit. It is no particular 
pleasure to stand on a spray tank for 
hours fit a time with a cross wind driving 
the spray back every few minutes, but 
when picking time comes it is a pleasure 
to get into a block where things worked 
right, find see the perfect fruit filling up 
the crates. 
Accurate Work. —The great point to 
note in spraying is thoroughness, but that 
does not mean standing idly watching the 
spray soak one small branch, and then 
run off while the driver is telling a funny 
story. If you must listen to the story, 
shut^off the spray until you have time to 
attend to the business which brought you 
to the top of the spray rig. While spray- 
inn. the gun must be kept moving except 
when trying to reach that extra high 
limb against a wind which keeps driving 
the spray down. In such a wind the best 
thing to do is to get into a block of young¬ 
er trees and spray. If you do reach the 
top of the high tree it is probable that 
the reaching will be simply a narrow 
streak with a streak of culls each side of 
it. It is hard work backing up a spray 
gun against 250. 300, 350 or 400 pounds 
pressure all day, but if the work is care¬ 
fully done it is the best paying job that 
can be done on the place during the few 
days when it can be done.
