Two row dusters have been heavy, cumbersome in a n and nude killers in the past hut no longer. With the idea of giving the cotton farmers a simple, very light and well balanced two row duster "The Root” was developed. Because of its splendid design, balance and construction—it weighs only 85 lbs.—“The Root” can be used to good advantage where the footing is very soft and in this respect it is much superior to heavy machines weighing up to 500 lbs. Much time is sated at end of rows, and around stumps. Very handy in hilly and terraced land. Ease of operation and handling makes the work of dusting cotton very easy for both operator and horse or mule. Standard bicycle chain and sprockets used to transmit power ■ from traction wheel to the duster. Can be Adjusted to Growth of Cotton and Width of Rous. « Developed to properly apply Calcium Arsenate on Cotton to control the Boll Weevil and to dust any other dry powdered insecticide or fungicide on cotton, tobacco and all vegetable plants.
