The objeet behind the visit is the adaptiou of a suitabie machine for large-ssale operations in ihe Dominion and elsewhere. The representative is Mr W. E. Farnes, executive member of the aircraft division of the' Bristol Aeroplane Company, who said today that he wanted first to fmd out whether his company 's ideas had some application to the job. Experiments such as those being made in New Zealand had uot been made in Bntain. Mr Farnes said his company wished to know whether the Bristol fteighter aircraft could be adapted for this purpose but were in any case generallv interested in such methods in helping land productivity.
