Brisbane: The managing director of the company which introduced air assisted agriculture in New South Wales is in Queensland hoping to do the same in this State.

He is Mr. L. Ross Anderson, of Air Agriculture Control Ltd., Sydney, which took over the pest control section of East-West Airlines 12 months ago.

Using Tiger Moths, the company has already done some work with linseed and barley near Toowoomba.

While he is in Queensland, Mr. Anderson intends to visit most parts of the State looking into the opportunities for plane assisted agriculture.
