Illust. 146. Dusting cotton with a Farman duster<br />
at the rate of 80 acres an hour. The scene is<br />
near Texarkana, Ark.<br />
HEN it comes to blotting out the l<strong>and</strong>scape<br />
nothing short of a wartime smoke<br />
Wscreen beats the poison dust cloud put<br />
down by one of these tractor dusters. You<br />
have to see it to believe it—a billowing, rolling,<br />
spreading cloud that under favorable conditions<br />
reaches clear out across the average field<br />
—a wholesale slaughter of bugs. It will dust<br />
60 to 80 rows at a time. The best time to use<br />
it is on a quiet evening just after the dew is<br />
on. Under such conditions the dust settles in<br />
around the plants <strong>and</strong> mixes with the dew so<br />
that when the bugs take a drink they get a<br />
dose of poison.<br />
Calcium arsenate is the<br />
poison commonly used for<br />
boll weevils. The duster<br />
also h<strong>and</strong>les nicotine dust,<br />
Paris green, <strong>and</strong> other insect<br />
killers, for cotton, potatoes,<br />
beans, cabbage, mint, cucumbers,<br />
<strong>and</strong> fruit trees.<br />
Six-row attachments with 6<br />
or 12 nozzles for more forcible<br />
dusting where infestation<br />
is unusually bad can be<br />
supplied.<br />
