Dusters and sprayers are the equipment used to apply 
insecticides. The Victory gardener will have to depend on 
the kind of duster or sprayer available. Many of the metals 
formerly used to make such equipment have gone to war. 
Commercially prepared applicators will give best results. 
However, use of home-made devices such as shaker cans 
or sack dusters will offer some protection to garden plants.
