POWER TRACTION DUSTER 
Carrying and cranking a Hand Duster for any length of time is very 
tiresome for which reason many farmers have trouble in getting their 
help to do a good dusting job. The men either shirk on the job or 
skip over the field thus giving little of the protection sought by the 
farmer to the plants. With this in mind we are pleased to be able to 
offer to the Truck Farmers these inexpensive dusters developed by the 
Messinger Mfg. Co.. 
The patented principles of the Messinger Dusters mixes the dust 
and air in a mixing chamber, thereby air floating in the dust before it is 
drawn into the fan. This air floated dust then passes out through the 
fan discharge, distributor, tubes and nozzles in a highly air floated con¬ 
dition, forming a dust cloud in and around the plants, trees or shrubbery 
being dusted, penetrating the pores and hairs on the leaves and stalks, 
also into the small recesses where the diseases lodge and insects hide, 
breed and feed. It reaches these hidden diseases and insects like smoke 
and penetrates into spaces where water cannot reach. Dusters not hav¬ 
ing the Messinger Patented Principles, but which feed the dust into the 
fan or discharge pipe, blowing the dust out of the nozzles under high 
pressure on to the plants, will not give the proper protection, but will 
blow the dust on the plant and off again due to the high pressure.

by the operator on the handle bar will cause the
