BUSTING
PLANES COVER
COTTON AREA

"Dusting' aeroplanes have this
week for the first time in the his
tory of Casa Grande valley been
called into service in subduing the
cotton leaf worm which for the
past few days has been threatening
the fast maturing cotton crop in
some sections of the valley. Two
OF the planes were brought here
from the coast by the Anderson
Clayton and the Mutual cotton
companies last Sunday and were
put into action Monday morning.
One of the planes is operating in
the Red Rock district and the other
commenced operations at Eloy and
is still at work in the vicinity of
Casa Grande. Eight hundred acres
belonging to Roy Hamilton, the Cor
rel and Thomson farm near the
Casa Grande ruins. the Newell Bros.
crop on the old Phil Nicholas ranch
end the Tweely ranch are among
those being busted this week.
The leaf worm is fought with the
use Of calcium arsenate which is
given off in dust formed by the
plane as it swoops low over the
field. covering several rows at
time. The work has to be done
early in the morning or late in the
evening, because of the effect of
atmospheric conditions. 1t must
also be done while there is little
wind. The cost of busting is 81
cents per acre, which includes the
cost of arsenate.
According to K. X. Henness,
county farm agent the leaf worm
has not yet done considerable dam
age, but in case where the bolls
near the top of the stalk have not
sufficiently matured the worms may
cause severe loss it not checked.
The plane operators are working in
conjunction with an agriculturalist
familiar with cotton and leaf worm
conditions.
