He was very proud of this feat, but, though most refreshing, Dam could have preferred that the water had come from a sprayer. "Seconds out of the ring, Time!" called the referee.

Acting on his second's advice, Dam gave his whole attention to getting at his opponent's body again, and overdid it.
The brakes squealed and Mario bellowed at him from the road. "Pete! The ship's in! Better get hopping!" Pete nodded and started to close up the sprayer. One of the Dusties tumbled out of the jeep and scampered across the field to give him a hand.
At intervals of forty feet, a small iron pipe, ending with a fine spraying attachment, extends upward. The water is turned on in the evening and comes out of the sprayer in a fine mist and falls upon the plants like a gentle rain. By another form of irrigation, the fields are divided at regular intervals by wide wooden troughs from which water is directed between the rows of plants.
All that remained now was tarring the fields, and then buckling down beneath the wind shields before the first winter storms struck. Pete was trying to get the nozzle of the tar sprayer cleaned out when Mario's jeep came roaring down the rutted road from the village in a cloud of dust.

When I am working I sprinkle the edge of the table with turpentine with a sprayer and inhale its vapour. When I go to bed I spray my little table and other objects near me. The fine drops evaporate sooner than the liquid itself. And the smell of turpentine is pleasant. I drink Obersalzbrunnen, avoid hot things, talk little, and blame myself for smoking so much.
Tomato growers having only a small area to spray may use one of the numerous forms of hand-pumps or bucket sprayers now on the market. For larger fields it will be necessary to employ a barrel sprayer.
