The bog on which the demon- stration was held had a few days previously been drained from a late holding for root grub. Rus- sell Makepeace had marked off four acres in four one-acre plots. The first two were tested for the rate of application, on one a fertilizer of 13-30-0 being used and on the other a 5-10-10 mixture. The ship, piloted by Freddie Braun, carried 100 pounds of fertilizer, loading at the Cape & Vineyard Airport on Route 28, Wareham. A new type hopper was used, said to be developed along the lines of a "seed pan" for seeding from the air. This was later used for dusting with excellent results.
