Spray device for grasshopper control unveiled in Moree
Mr RB H Dewar of Avrue Moree has built a compact spraying plant for grasshopper control. A jetting pump mounted on his utility truck delivers a high pressure spray about ten feet wide as the vehicle moves. The system uses arsenite of soda and molasses, with the liquid stored behind the cab and pumped through pipes. Demonstrated to the Moree P P Board members, the device may also serve for jetting sheep and inflating tyres, offering practical utility to graziers.
