    Drawing of a Dibbler
    This is an instrument that was used for sowing turnips long ago.
    The man that would sow the turnips was to go along beside the drill and stick the dibbler in the drill which would make six holes in the drill. Then the man would put the seeds into the little holes and cover them in.
