WALLACE NOW READY TO BEGIN FIGHT ON
 WEEV|LS WITH PLANES
Experiments Will Be Con- ducted in Alabama by
 Department
WASHINGTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE.HERALD [ Washington, D. C.. March 21 J

With an appropriation of S40,O0O, the department of agriculture, 1t is announced today, will test the avail ability of treating boil weevil infes- tation by distributing calcium arsen- ate by aeroplanes.
 Secretary Wallace has borrowed three machines from the war de- partment for this purpose. Last year the cotton leaf worm was asSailed in Louisiana and Mississippi by aero plane distribution of poison with certain success and hope is enter tained that experiments agaInSt the bill weevil will be even more efficacious.
 The experiments will be conducted, according to present plans, in Ala bana, Georgia and South Carolina fieius.
 After the experiments selected fields will be compared with un- treated fields for the ascerta inment of lli. net result. Secretary Wallace said today that last year very even distribution of calcium arsenate was possible from an aeroplane fly ing at height of 200 feet. Dust delivered rom the ;,eroplane is much ncre finely divided than from ground machines because of the fore with which it is driven from the hopper by the air from the propel- Ter. A smaller amount of poison per acre is thus required with conse- quent reduction in cost.
 Four dustings of q field four days apart will be completed by the de- partment in the aeroplane eXperi- ments this spring.
