Not l 5 Minutes
In our last issue in an article contributed by Mr E. R. Marryatt, Fields Instructor, Department of Agriculture at-Whakatane, referring to ■ aerial topdressing it was erroneously published that it takes 15 minutes to reload a plane with 5001bs 6f fertiliser. The paragraph should have read: “One minute is required from touch-down to takeoff to refuel with six gallons of petrol and during this time 5001 b .of fertiliser are loaded into the aircraft in 15 seconds.” We regret this error, but we didn’t believe it.
