Sprayer calibration is made easier with Spraying Sys
tems Company’s Tee Jet Sprayer Calibration Kit. The kit
includes a calibration calculator, 60-ounce liquid measur
ing container, and cleaning brush.
Spraying Systems Presents
Calibration Calculator
WHEATON.IL Calibrating
chemical sprayers is now easier
than ever before, thanks to a new
invention from Spraying Systems
Co., manufacturer of TccJct brand
spray products. The TccJct calib
ration calculator is a hand-held
calculator pre-programmed with
the formulas needed for calibra
tion. After the operator provides
basic variables, the calibration
calculator quickly computes cither
application rale, flow rale, ground
speed or nozzle spacing. The cal
culator also has a built-in stop
watch to assist in checking actual
sprayer speed and nozzle flow
rate. The calculator can store and
use the information it computes.
That saves lime when recalcula
tions are needed.
“By reducing the amount of
lime it takes to calibrate each
spray tip, the calculator should
encourage applicators to calibrate
their sprayers more often,” says
Rick Mohan, an agricultural spe
cialist with Spraying Systems co.
“Routine calibration improves
application accuracy and reduces
chemical costs due to over appli
cation.” Mohan says many opera

ABS Introduces New Mastitis
Control Product
DE FOREST, WI Mastitis is
the number one health problem
facing dairy herds today. And it’s
a costly problem, so prevehtion
becomes more economical. Stu
dies show that teat dipping is the
most effective means of controll
ing mastitis infections.
Recognizing this, American
Breeders Service has introduced a
new pre/post dip - Alcidc brand
germicidal non-barrier 4XLA teat
dip.
From the dairy producer’s per
spective, 4XLA offers four
advantages:
• Broad kill- 4XLA provides a
broad kill of harmful micro
organisms that can cause mastitis.
• Faster kill- since 4XLA kills
micro-organisms in only seconds,
it reduces udder preparation time
therefore cutting labor costs.
• No iodine* which means no
worry about iodine contamination
in the milk or environment.
• Double duty- saves the dairy
man money since 4XLA is both a
pre- and post-dip.
“4XLA offers dairy producers a
safe, convenient and effective way
to kill mastitis-causing micro
organisms on the teat,” explains
Jim Winter, ABS peripheral pro
ducts manager. “And you need
only enough product to dip the
lower half of the teat”
Dairy producers can use 4XLA
to disinfect teats prior to milking
as well as after. Due to the fact
that 4XLA contains no iodine, the
product is safe for pre-dipping,
won’t harm humans and animals,
and there is no threat of iodine
contamination in the milk.
Since dairy producers’ number
one concern is masuus control,
