The principal claims in favour of dusting appear to be (1) that a given area can be covered with much less time and with less labour, (2) that the foliage receives a more uniform covering and (3) that it pofisesses greater adhesive powers. The machine shown above is made at Mahone Bay, by the Perfect Spray and Dusters, Ltd. We believe it is tlie first power duster made

The machine shown above is made at Mahone Bay, by the Perfect Spray and Dusters, Ltd. We believe it is tlie first power duster made in Canada. The same company has been manufacturing a hand -duster for several years. The new power r duster illustrated above has the agitator fastened to tlie drive shaft which passes through the dust hopper. This saves an appreciable amount of mechanism and power. In spite of its high air pressure, the dust is discharged with little diffi-. culty (100 lbs. can be discharged in 8 minutes.) Some very important developments in the control of sucking insects by means of the power duster, may be expected during the present year, as good results have al- ready been achieved with comparatively crude machines.
