PLANE "MACHINE GUNS' SHOOT SEEDS IN1,TO, CROUND The airpiane will make easy one of the most arduous Of farn jobs - that of planting cr ops, according to Dr. Lytle S. Adams, Los Angeles inventor of the airmnail pickup system ,and designer of the airpiane planter shown in diagranis above. Under-this plan, seed is firat made into.pellets with 'fine clay mixed with fertiliver and insect and rodent repellent. These seed "pis" would be fed by gravity f rom a bin ini the fuselage into a rapidly rotating rimless wheel whose spokes are hollow tubes. Weight of the pellets and speed of the wheel would inibed the seed in the soul at depths satisfactory for germination, says-Dr. Adams, who-claims that as maniy as 14,545 acres could be sowed'per hour. The device also can be adjusted for row planting. The aero-sower is reportedý especially useful ini sowing fields ta sugar beets, fodder uraips, alfalfa and other pasture grasses and other products requiring nio cultivation.
