grapes and other plants with it, it
was rejected for the tobacco spraying
in favor of NiXon's cart-sprayer. This
latter consists of wooden tank with
force-pump attached mounted on
wheels and provided with handle so
that it can be hauled about. 1t has
a large dasher which is so connected
with the pump that it moves and stirs
up the mixture with each stroke of
the pump-handle. 1t is an excellent
piece of apparatus for many purposes,
notably for spraying orchards, and
served our purpose we'll in spraying
tobacco. But it could not be used in
ordinary tobacco fields because of the
closeness with which the rows are
planted. In our experimental plots it
was hauled along the paths between
the plots.
Itseems therefore that the knapsack
form of apparatus is best suited to the
work of applying poisonous mixtures
to tobacco, and of those in the mar
ket the force-pump sprayers seem to
me much to be preferred. Several
different makes are advertised which
appear to be about equally good.

Orange County's Chance.

Polk county's profitable expert
ments in tobacco growing ought to be
the means Of opening the eyes of
farmers in other counties equally well
adapted to the growth of that weed.
Our farmers go slow, too slow, we
think, in this matter, but the senti-
ment in favor of tobacco is growing,
and the time will come when tobacco
growing will rank first among the ag-
ricultural interests of Orange county.
The profits reported from growing the
leaf in Polk county can be cut in half
and yet seem fabulous, and when our
farmers wake up to a sense of the OPP
portunities over which they have so
long slept, prosperity will begin to
dawn upon us.

Health and strength carry us
through dangers and make us safe in
the presence of peril. A perfectly
strong man with rich, pure blood, has
nothing to fear from germs. He may
breathe in the bacili of consumption
with impunity. If there is weak
spot where the germs may find an en-
trance to the tissues then the trouble
begins. Disease germs propagate with
lightning-like rapidity. Once in the
blood, the only way to get rid of them
is to kill them. This is what DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
for. 1t purifies the blood. That means
that it kills the germs, but that is
only part of what it does. It assists
digestion by stimulating the secretion

the finest tobacco in the world, and it
commands the highest price. The soil
is not rich enough to give it dark
color, and hence it is pale and sickly,
and has the consumption, so to speak.
This tobacco grew upon land that is
80 per cent siica-sandy land-poor,
white land, as your Barlow county
farmers call it-you have lots of it
down there. I have seen it, and it can
be bought for a song, but there is
more money in it than in your valleys
and river bottoms. The sand that is
in Florida soil will make tobacco
growing a success there. I have been
experimenting in tobacco growing and
curing for years, and know whereof I
speak. There are thousands Of acres
in North Georgia that are just suit
ed to it, and all those poor white lands
in Cobb county are just waiting for
it. Some of that land along our rail-
road that will not grow corn high
enough to shoot an ear or make tas-
sic, would grow the most aristocratic

Spraying Tobacco.


bacco worms. Continuing the sub
ject the bulletin says:
The important thing to be decided
is of course the quantity of arsenic
left on the plants at the time of cut
ting. Without giving details, l will
state that if all the fluid used had
alighted on the plants and none had
dripped from the leaves there would
have been after the single spraying of
July 81 on each plant of rows one and
2 of plot l, 2.0659 grains of Paris
this was arsenic each plant would
have borne 1.O329 grain of this pois-
on. This is a liberal estimate of the
quantity of arsenic which these plants
received, for probably not more than
four-fifths of the fluid used alighted
and remained upon the plants.
On rows 1 and 2 each of plots 2, 3
and f. individual plants received 4.0913
grains of Paris green in the two
spraynigs given these plots, about
half being applied July 27 and the re-
mainder August 3. Each plant is es-
timated to have received 2.O456 grains
of arsenic.
The two rows of plot 5 treated with
London purple received 4.7395 grains
of London purple per plant, or 1887
grain of arsenic, considering that the
London purple contained 40 per cent
of the poison.
An examination of the report of DR..
A. NJ. Peter on the chemical eXamina-
ton of sprayed tobacco will show
that whatever the original quantity
left on the plants, but a small part of
it remained there at the time of cut
ting.
The largest percentage he recovered
by analysis was from Plot 4, rows l
and 2. from which arsenious oxide at
the rate of .329 grain per pound of to-
bacco was obtained. Considering each
plant as producing 16 disable leaves,
and four plants as producing pound
of tobacco the poison obtained by him
is the equivalent Of .0922 grain Of ar
senious oxide per plant Since each
plant of these rows received in the
spraying 2.0456 grains of arsenic it
follows that Oh the disable part of each
plant there remained at cutting time
only about four per cent Of the ar
senic originally applied to the plant
The plants of plot 1, sprayed but
once, on July 81, retained on disable
leaves only is per cent of the arsenic
left by spraying.
The arsenic recovered from plants
sprayed with London purple amounts
to about 3.2 per cents of that applied.
When it is remembered that but lit
tie. tobacco is swallowed by the user
it seems that the small quantities re-
covered by DR.. Peter show that spray
ing once or twice, as practiced by us,
would not render tobacco in any way
Injurious. but I would add that [ do
not think mixtures much stronger
than those we used should be en-
Moved and that not more than three
anplications should be made during
dry seasons.
Suppose we had used three pounds
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-06-23


1921 grain per pound. Ii two appli-
cations of this strength had been
made, calculating from the results of
our experiments chemical analysis
might have recovered 1919 grain from
the disable part of a plant, which is at
the rate of 3.9277 grains per pound Of
tobacco. This is large quantity, and
while these estimates must be consid-
cred only as approximations they
demonstrate clearly enough the gener-
al and essential truth that quart of
Paris green in a barrel of water is
more than should be used. If last
season had been very wet no doubt
less than four per cent of the poison
would have remained at the close of
the season, but the part of wisdom is
to avoid such strong mixtures, since
the weather cannot safely be counted
on to remove the excess.
The sprayers most used in Ken
lucky are what are sometimes called
gravitational sprayers. That is to say
they are not sprayers at all, but KNAPP
sack-sprinklers. A form now in the
market consists Of a galvanized iron
tank with capacity of six gallons, so
constructed that it can be strapped to
the back while in use. At the bottom
of the tank on each side is a spout to
which a short piece of rubber tubing
is attached, bearing at it's free end
wooden handle perforated for the pas
sage of the tubing through it and
bearing in turn fine rose of the sort
used on ordinary watering-cans. The
quantity of water admitted to the noz-
zle is regulated by wire clamp which
congresses the tubing. The idea
prominent in it's construction is to
sprinkle two rows of tobacco or po-
tatOes as the operator walks between
them. This knapsack-sprinkler is a
great improvement on the perforated
tin can buster sometimes used, and |
is much superior also to the whisk-
broom and bucket. But it's only adj
vantage over the improved, copper,
knapsack-sprayers containing force
pump is in it's cheapness. 1t sells for
about $500, whereas the force-pump
sprayers cost from $1,000 to $500.
Notwithstanding this [ believe the
copper knapsack-sprayer must event
ually supplant the sprinkler, and that
the former is, all things considered,
the cheaper. In the first place it econ
omizes material, and enables one to
apply mixtures thoroughly and uni
formily. 1t can be used for spraying
the copper mixtures so useful for the
fungus diseases of plants, which the
galvanized iron sprinkler cannot. 1t
permits rapid work, and although
usually provided with but single
nozzle I believe can be made to spray
as many plants in the same time as
the sprinkler It's main advantage is
in the superior quality of the work it
permits.
In our use of the knapsack>sprayer
however, one serious defect became ap-
parent. and it is one which character
