The Master of a Grange, locat ed m Jefterson county, wrote to Professor H. A. Surface, the State Zoologist, Harnsburg, Pa , for information as to the cost of a spraying outfit. He mentioned a double-acting sprayer with 25 feet of bos? and a ten-foot exten sion pole, as about the kind of an outfit that the members of his Grange would want. As differ ent members had determined to procure the necessaary appara tus for spraying their trees, the information was requested to be given before the next meeting of the Grange. The cost of spraying apparatus is a question which has agitated quite a good many farmers, some of whom have deferred caring for their trees and permitted the San Jose scale to do great dam age, because of the idea that an outfit is expensive. The letter of Professor Surface, therefore, in reply to the one received from the Grange, will be of general in terest. Following is a copy of the letter: 'Replying to your recent let ter, 1 think you can get a spray ing outfit such as you mention, for about fifteen or sixteen dol lars. I would recommend the following as a complete outfit with the pump: two 12J ft. sections of hose (making twenty-five feet) with hose connections complete; a 10 -foot pole, or extension rod; a stop cock or shutoff at the pump, and another between the hose and extension rod; an eighth-turn to go on the far end of the exten sion rod; a "Y" attachment which will carry two nozzles; and two good large nozzles of the "Mistry Jr." or "friend" or "Brown" type. I believe that the upright lever sprayer will prove more satisfactory than the ordinary barrel pump. It will not cost much more, and will give higher and evener pressure, with less labor. You can buy such ap paratus from various firms, as for instance: The Goulds Mfg. Co., Seneca Falls, N. Y.; The Doming Co., Salem, O.; The Field Force Pump Co., Elmira, N. Y.; The Spray-Motor Co., Buffalo, N. Y.; Morrill and Morley, Benton Harbor, Mich.; E. C. Brown and Co., Rochester, N. Y.; F. E. Myers & Bro., Ashland, O., and other reliable firms who are ad vertising in the various horticul tural and agricultural papers. I would recommend that you com municate with each of these im mediately and obtain prices, and, if possible, get Grange Club prices, which will doubtless give you very considerable discount. "Any agricultural or horticul tural organization can obtain from those companies giving them, the Grange discounts mentioned above.""
