CROP REPORTING BY PLAuE
Army Air Service Takes Photographs

The practicability of measuring crop

Biography is being determined by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture at Washington in an effort to
remove so far as possible the hazard
of errors in crop reporting.
In recent experiments At Tallulah,
La, in cooperation with the Army Air
service photographs Of fields of cotton,
corn and hay were made at heights
ranging from $500 to 1000 feet with
the plane travelling at the rate of
so to 80 miles an hour. In photographs
taken at 1000 feet it is possible to
distinguish the fields planted to the
various crops. With the use of a
'planimeter" it is then possible to
measure the exact acreage in the diff
ferent fields shown in the photo
graphs.

The speed with which farmers have

purposes is shown in a recent survey
made by the United States Department

ing the average to 1850 agricultural
counties, a total of more than $4,000
