A small airplane is flying over a field, possibly related to: Dusting planes (agricultural sprayers) fly mainly at dawn and dusk when the wind dies down. Their extreme proximity to the ground can turn any sudden gust of wind into an accident. They hedge-hop over obstacles, must remain low to the very edge of the field to be effective. Former bootlegging pilots are supposed to be in demand because "they can miss a tree by inches and set down on a dime." Seabrook Farms, between Bridgeton and Vineland, New Jersey

Agriculture. Guayule cultivation. Newly-seeded guayule nursery beds. Guayule seeds are very fine and delicate and cannot be planted as other seeds. A specially constructed machine drops the seeds on a very carefully prepared seedbed and then covers the seed with a band of white sand to prevent the wind from blowing them away. The seedbeds are kept damp by frequent application of the overhead sprinking system until the little plants are up and rooted. Three large nurseries at the new Salinas Valley, California, project established last spring, contain 890 of such beds and produced 310 million plants now being transplanted to about 30,000 acres of field plantations
