The method which, in our expert
ence, has proved the most effective IN
producing these results calls for the
following equipment: l. A nozzle
which will produce a coarse penetrat-
ing spray. 2. A crook. 3. A high pres
sure pump. 4. A tower for tall trees.
In general, spray nozzles are of two
Kinds: the hollow-stream, and the
solid-stream types. The former, var
iously known as the mist. whirl, or
disk nozzle, breaks up the liquid into
fine particles which leave the nozzle
as a hollow cone Of spray. Obviously
such minute particles lose their mo.
mentum, because of the resistance OF
the air, and thus nozzles OF the mist
type have but a short range. They
are, therefore, not adapted to a sys
tenn of spraying requiring penetration
The solid-stream nozzles used TO
spraying are commonly known as Dor
deaux nozzles. In these a stream o
, liouid is forced against a DETECTING III
which produces a fan-shaped, coars'
driving spray. Not until 1t reaches
some distance from the nozzle doe
this stream break into drops and thes'
