According to the donor, this piece of equipment was used on a farm owned by Ed and Harry Sadler of Carleton Place, ON. The Sadler brothers operated a 365 acre dairy and sheep farm which included cereal crops, legumes, mixed hay, corn silage and maple syrup. The donors, Bill and Hazel Minor of Nepean, ON purchased the farm and machinery in 1973, including the W4 tractor and the flock of purebred sheep. Later the Miners added a small herd of beef cattle. Half the farm with the buildings was sold to their daughter Debbi and her husband Greg in 1994. The Bowes barn was burned by an arsonist on July 18, 2002. Subsequently, to free up shed space, Bill and Hazel Minor donated several pieces of farm equipment to the Canada Agriculture Museum (Ref. 1).

Fonction

A tank with a nozzle carried by the operator and used to apply a dry pesticide-fungicide to plants, this type was often used to treat potato plants for potato beetles or for other crops in gardens and smaller field plots.

Technique

A circa 1940 pesticide dispenser that works on the principle of a plunger pushing air containing the dry pesticide out a nozzle and onto the plants being treated.
