Western growers of irrigated al» tetta might find it practical nod economical to put wings m the parial equivalent of the *--*• track. The office of foreign agricultural taiations says thatthe cost of pro- P°aed air transportation of milk over certain routes in Britain has been estimated by avistion company experts at about four cents a quart. x It is proposed to use a Bristol freighter' modified to pick up a specially constructed cylindrical metal tank lined with glass and holding about 1,100 gallons. The tank would be mounted on a wheeled chassis for quick and easy loading and unloading. Another example of an innovation in air freighting of farm produce is reported from Brazil. The Impameri district is a rsntsr of tee Brazilian "xarque" or dried meat industry. The fillets a* beat are too tender far marketing as dried beef. With airfreight It is proving possible to ship the choice fillets to sao Paulo, a trip of shout two and a half hours. This form of marketing has provad so satisfactory that OFAR reports shipments may increase when the air terminal is .improved to •accomodate larger planes heavier loads.
