TOP DRESSING BY AEROPLANES
The small number of experiments carried out to test the possibilities of top dressing were apparently quite successful, the Commissioner of Works, Mr B. R. McKillop, has advised Bedderated Farmers. The trials were in the nature of experiments only, they of a minor nature, the aircraft could not be classed as suitable for the work and the equipment was makeshift. For those reasons it was not possible to give any definite indication of the cost of that method of top dressing. | The Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Council, which sponsored the trials, was making further investigations and after the whole matter had toeen further considered presumably tAome recommendation would be made to the Government on the question of policy, Mr McKillop continued.
