SPRAY ON EXTENSIVE SCALE
Effective Work May Be Accomplished
With Various Kinds Of Sprayers-
Bucket Pump Is Shown.

(By T. ]. TALBERT, University Of Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture)
Spraying on an extensive scale may
be done with a power sprayer, barrel
and pump sprayer, or a traction
sprayer. Effective work may also be
done in a smaller way with the KNAPP
sack sprayer, the bucket pump sprayer,
the hand atomizer and other contriv-
ances adapted to the distribution of a
liquid spray.
Dust-spraying outfits may also be
used with good results. These devices
are arranged for blowing and distrib-
uting the dust over infected plants.

Bucket Pump Sprayer.

Power and traction busters are in use,
but most growers use the hand outfits.
Effective busting may be made over
a small area by using a talcum pow
der can in the bottom of which a few
holes have been made, or a porous
cloth bag.
The apparatus should be adapted to
the size of the garden or truck crop
to be covered. Where the apple or
chard is being sprayed with the power
or barrel and pump sprayer, the same
equipment can usually be used In the
garden or field.

COMPOSING DEAD LEAVES

Composing is rather a hard job and
requires a great deal of time. The
compost heap should be made square,
with perpendicular sides. four or five
feet high and as nearly fiat on top rs
possible. The leaves may be cOmposted
with stable manure. hen manure. COW
manure thoroughly mixed, and some
lime will do no harm.
If the heaps are made now the COM
post will be rendy for next springs
early use. II requires long time for
leaves to become thoroughly com
posted.
The compost heap should be made
under shelter, else the rains will wash
away much of the valuable liquid. The
compost heap can receive nearly every
thing-slops from the kitchen. old
vegetables. animal matter (prOvided II
is cut up fine). Great care must lie
taken, however. that the vines of veg
etables which have been discussed
should not get into the heap. as they
will infect the entire compost and do
much harm.
The pile must be fOrked frequently
and kept damp enough to aid In the
rotting process.
To thoroughly compost eight or ten
tons of leaves will require many
months, and the matter should be
placed In at least four or five heaps to
facilitate the forking and handling.
These heaps may be made In the
fields where the compost is TO be used
later. but II should be covered. as he
fore suggested. Many gardeners build
up a structure of rails or old boards
in order to keep the heap in proper
shape.
