GOOD OUTFIT
FOR SPRAYING.
Should Not Cost More
Than Fifteen or Six
teen Dollars.
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.""
