SAVE TREES BY AIRpLANE.
Spraying by Poison Dust Tried Out in
Ohio

Several interesting and successful ex-
periments have recently been made in
Ohio with airplanes as sprayers of trees
when attacked by caterpillars or other
insects dangerous to tree life.
II feel sure" says III. 4. Gossard
Ohio state entomologist, that one air
plane can dust strip of forest or of
pecan orchard in less time than 20 of the
most powerful liquid spraying machine.
can cover. The problem is to perfect
busting materials 50 they will give re
suits comparable with those obtained by
liquid spraying
Mr.. Gossard states that in France air
planes are being used as scout machines
to discover the location of grasshopper
swarlnS and then to scatter poisoned bait
for the destruction of these insects He
then goes on to say that several months
ago the city entOmologist of Cleveland.
after experiencing great difficulty in
spraying some closely planted large trees
IN one of the suburban parks constituting
the grounds of Il large club, conceived
the idea that such a tract could be busted
from an airplane. He communicated his
idea to the Ohio experiment station and
solicited help.
A hopper was designed by a specially
detailed mechanic to carry about 200
pounds of arSenate of leau powder which
, could be emptied into the air by a series
OF revolving spoons operated by a hand
crank. The hopper was attached to the
side of the plane somewhat lower and
behind the occupants of the cockpits SO
they would not breathe any of the dust.
Besides the pilot another man was needed
to turn the crank. The propeller and
current created by the movement of the
machine, assisted by gravitation, distrib-
uted the dust, which was caught by the
wind and carried through the tops of the
trees
Mr.. Gossard also mentions the success
of an airplane in destroying a caterpillar
pest which was defoliating a grove of
catalpa trees, six acres in extent at
Troy, Ohio.
The airplane," he says, passed about
30 feet out from one side of the grove
and 20 to 30 feet above the tops OF
the trees. A strong wind carried the
dust over the entire grove nearly 400
feet wide, and it could be found in easily
perceptible quantities on weeds and
grass for 100 feet in the pasture on the
distant side of the grove. Effective dust
ing was, therefore, done over a width of
about GOO feet. or at the rate of abol

10 acres per minute and since the passes
can be reduced with perfected apparatus
from six TO two, normal rate of appli-
cation may be expected to be about 30
acres per minute. Within three days
after the application % per cent of the
caterpillars were dead and were strewn
on the ground"
Mr. Gossard believes that applications
Of arsenate of calcium for case bearers
and budworms on large orchards of big
trees can probably be made more salts
factorily and expeditiously by airplane
than with sprayers. The catalpa trees
busted were about 80 feet tall and
planted by s feet.
