WHYCOGOMAH, Nova Scotia,
Aug. 17.-In an effort to check the
severe damage inflicted upon
timber, grain and feed raised in
the dominion, the Canadian govern
ment, through its department Of
national defense, is conducting a
series of experiments here to de-
termine the feasibility of busting
forests and crops with iIsectides by
means of airplaneS. In the first
actual tests, 13,400 pounds of poison
were spread over the spruce forests
to kill the bud worms, a pest that
has been particularly hard to con-
troll.
Wright "Whirlwind" powered
Keystone seaplane busters, built by
the keystone Aircraft Corporation,
Bristol, Pa, were used in the work.
In the first tests, nearly seven tons
of the poison was spread over the
trees in seventeen hours and twenty
minutes, a task which would have
taken the ground personnel about
seventeen weeks.
Another experiment of a similar
nature was carried out in Winnipeg
Manitoba, where wheat rust had
injured the crops. An area of 345
acres was covered in eight hours
and twenty minutes with 3,90C
pounds of dust. In view of the
satisfactory results of the work car
ried on thus far, the department
expects to extend, their operations
to include other areas.

Pherson ST., who took his first air.
plane ride at Hoosier airport Sun
day, is becoming almost as enthu-
siastic over aviation as Col. Charles
a. Lindbergh.
The local Indy Wednesday took
Mrs. Lindbergh and their son, Max,
to the Hoosier airport for a plane
ride. 1t was Mrs. Lindbergh's first
flight also, but the father learned
Max previously had ridden twice,
keeping it a secret from his parents.
Il don't suppose I am related to
Colonel Lindbergh," the local en-
thusiast said. There is a POSSIBLE
ity, however, as both my ancestors
and the Colonels forebears came
from Sweden"
Lindbergh said he was going back
to the Hoosier for another airplane
ride Sunday.
Neither Mr.. and Mrs. Lindbergh
nor their son ever have met Colonel
Lindbergh, although they saw him
when he visited Indianapolis last
year on his tour after spanning the
Atlantic.
