  1. (continued from previous page)
    A knapsack is a very handy way for spraying potatoes. It is nearly used for spraying all the potatoes in Camross.
    There is of course another sprayer called the horse sprayer, but it is only the people who sow three and four acres of potatoes that use it.
    It is a very quick way of spraying towards the knapsack.
