Farm Planning to Take Planes
Into Consideration,
Strand Say&
CORVALLIS. Feb. 20-fi'PV-Farms of the future may be laid out
with the airplane in mind. Dr. A. L. Strand, president of Oregon State
college, said today. ' I
Aerial dusting and spraying especially are playing an ever bigger
part in farm operation be told nearly 100 Flying Farmers, pilots and
chemical supply firm representatives at the second annual airplane
dusting and spraying conference
here. -
President Strand, who is both
an entomologist and airplane pilot
himself, explained that the basic
problem of aerial control -of in
sects and diseases is to develop
better dusts and sprays and better
ways to apply them.
Asks for Research
Be urged more research on a
process to give dusts positive elec
tric charges so that they-would
adhere to plants with negative
charges. He cited a Minnesota sci
entist who several years ago pro
duced lead arsenat with positive
charges.
Robert W. Every, Oregon Stat
College entomologist, estimated
that three-fourths of th field
crops In Oregon are dusted by
airplanes. He said that Oregon
farmers are becoming largely de
pendent on aerial dusting for in
sect control, though this type of
control is net yet used extensively
in fruit growing.
Air Spraying
Th Flying Farmers and "Tree
Hopping" fliers- were told air
spraying has developed since 1940.
Every reported that operators can
save about fifty cents an acre in
spraying over dusting.
' Aerial operators discussed pos
sibilities of control legislation and

PGE believes that government has a place
