Then building contractors and manu facturers of machinery are largely in terested. Investments in plants and machinery employed in manufactur ing tobacco are estimated at $102,000, 000. Replacement, up-keep and inter est on the investment make no small sum annually. And let realty men note there are approximately 325,000 tobacco farms in the country, with a total estimated valuation of $160,000,000. Of further interest to real estate men is the fact that there are 700,000 retail establish ments selling toba.?cco, involving a to tal rental and up ieep impossible to estimate, besides the large amount of office space occupied by administrative branches of the general business. mEEEEEEEEEE.E.EEI M.

And there are .the railroads who reap) revenue from 2,210,000 otns of tobacco products every year. As for the advertising business, here again it is impossible to form any estimate of the enormous annual outlay. The prohibition of tobacco would also knock a good-sized hole in the re ceipts of the United States govern ment. The internal reve'nue receipts from tobacco for the fiscal year 1920 amounted to $295,809,355.44. Customs duties provided an additional $25,000, 000 in round figures, making the total revenue return to the government $320,000,000. Iinfluence on Popular Sentiment It is this interlocking of the tobacco business with so many other interests and the vast amount of financial loss that would be involved in the abolition of tobacco that is one of the most se rious aspects of the proposal to pro hibit the sale of tobacco, a proposal, however, which has little spl)port by public sentiment if the newspaper edi tors of the country are correct in their estimate of that sentiment. In a poll of the editors made recent ly by the Tobacco Merchants' Asso ciation of the United States, through the Press Service Company of New' York City, 95 per cent of the 7,847 editors who replied expressed the opinion that the people of their com1 munities were opposed to anly law against tobacco. As these editors re present some 80,000,000 readers the results for ma pretty general t.est of national opinion. Inl their remarks accompanying their replies many of the editors ex pressed it as their opin ion that the opposition of their communities to the abolition of tobacco was based to some extent at least on the <htmage such a change would do to the busi ness interests of the community. This was paiticiarly true inl the tobacco growing states '4nid cinters where there were large tobacco phlnts. .l11t when the extent of the business involved in the allied iiterests of the tobacco trade is considered, as above briefly outlimed, it is cleari th:t thee is hardly a section of the country that would not be affected di reelty or inl directly by abolishing tobacco.

For this purpose any kind of a spray pump may be used, ranging fro ithe small hand bucket pump to the barrel pump. It is very desir able that this' material be applied with a spray pump, although it could be done with a sprinkling pot, having a rose, but it would be less thorough and would take more material, and where it is necessary to apply it under buildings such places could not be reached." ,- 0-----.
