The department of agriculture has ■idnpted the airplane to its needs, and plans to have a large fleet of ma bines to serve the farmer, lumberman mid orcliardlst during the next six months, nccm-iling to mi announcement from Washington recently, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The ma chines will be used to find forest fires, map mH forest and other surveys and to act as detectives to find outlaw cotton plnnters in Texas, Arizona and southern California. Lieutenant Compere nt Ellington a year ago investigated the cotton situ- ■itlon. Owing to danger of mi Inva sion of pink bollworm from Mexico it was necessary to create restricted safety zones where no cotton could be grown. Certain outlaw planters In land surrounded by heavy forests have defied the government and planted In these districts, which are ditllcult to find. The young Californian took a camera with him, cruised over the for- esta at a 7,000-foot abituile, and snapped seven outlaw fields. The fields were destroyed.
