BEST RESULTS IN SPRAYING

Best results in spraying are obtained

calls for first-class pump and gaso-

factory made sprays than to bother
with home mixing. 1t takes about as
long to nix few quarts or gallons as
to make up q barrel or two, and time.
Of all things, is expensive in this period
Of high-priced labor. This factor OF
time and labor often amounts to more
than the higher cost Of purchased
