GUYS CAN BE GOOD PITCHERS
-SAYS WHITEY FORD
Last year, Whitey Ford won 25
games for the Yankees. Yet he still
insists it doesn’t take brains to be
e winning pitcher. In this week’s
Post, Whitey tells why one Dodger
pitcher with plenty of brains never
made the grade. Tells how he han
dles Al Kaline, Rocky Colavito, Jim
Eentile and other top sluggers.
And says why the beanball isn’t as
dangerous as it’s cracked up to be.

Of Ag Aviation Conference
THE BATTALION
Tuesday, February 27, 1962
College Station, Texas

Agricultural aircraft must be de
signed to perform its task in a
better, more versatile, economical
manner or it will become a special
purpose vehicle used only when
there is no other available method,
acording to Joseph J. Cornish of
Mississippi State University.
Speaking at A&M’s 11th annual
Texas Agricultural Aviation Con
ference and Short Course on Pest
Control Feb. 26-27, the head of
MSU’s Aerophysics Department
said the problem is one of the main
ones facing the aerial applicating
industry. Ground equipment is con
stantly being improved and is of
fering more competition.
Approximately 500 persons at
tending the meeting heard Cornish
describe new aircraft designs and
features which are expected to
boost aerial application efficiency.
One of the features is “boundry
layer control” to increase wing
lift under greater loads at low
speeds. The best BLC method de
vised so far consists of sucking
away the layer of low energy air,
the boundry layer, near the wing

by means of a number of tiny holes
in the wing surface. Lift is near
ly doubled with only moderate a-
mounts of power.
He said that distribution of lift
along the span can also be altered
by distributing the BCL in a cer
tain way. Downwash behind the
wing becomes more uniform and
the ejected meterial is deposited
more evenly along the swath.
Research underway on the use of
a jet pump is pointing the way to
improved swath distribution of ma
terial, no matter what the speed
of the aircraft. -
The speaker said ducted pro
pellers show promise for planes
which can operate from short, un
prepared fields, thus saving time
and cost of operation.
Lambert Wilkes, conference chair
man and associate professor in the
Department of Agricultural Engi
neering said that about 450 per
sons attended the conference. Sub
jects covered were agricultural
chemicals, aircraft distribution sys
tems, weather forecasting, medi
cal considerations, air polution,
state and federal regulations
governing farm chamicals, and le
gal responsibilities of aerial ap
plicators.

ers Association, and the Texas |
Aerial Applicators Association.
Robert R. Bunch, director of the
California Aerial Applicators As
sociation, told conference members
that strict adherence to safety rul
es has sharply cut injuries and
fatalities in his home state.
“Our association is proud to say
that in all crop applications by
all of the applicators in California * :
we had just one pilot fatality in
1961. This means that in the three \
years of our safety program, the ' .
fatality rate has been cut 1,400
per cent. In 1961, we had 23 FA A
reported ag-aircraft accidents as
compared to 61 in 1958, a reduction ?
of almost 300 per cent.” Bunch
said.
Discussing “Changes In Legal
Trends Affecting Agricultural Avi
ation,” Stuart W. Turner of San
Francisco, Calif., consulting agro-
logist, said legal disputes over
aerial application problems are be
coming more frequent and com
plex.
He advised greater care by com-
merical applicators to avoid chem
ical drift to other crops and in
jury to property being treated un
der- contract.
Taking a look into the 1960’s,
Dr. Tyrus Timm, head of the De
partment of Agricultural Econo
mics and Sociology, said he ex
pects the exodus from farms to de
crease. Farm size jumped 40 per
cent during the 1950’s but this
should drop to about 30 per cent
within current decade.
Cultivated acreage should drop
about 14 per cent compared to that
of 10 years ago. By 1970, acreage
will be down around 4 per cent.
“But less acreage will produce
more crops and livestock,” Timm
said. “Technology will not slow
down; records will be broken. Agri
culture will be more specialied.”
On the demand side, the outlook
is for a steady and slow trend.
Population increase and higher in
comes will be an important fact
or, but industrial use of farm pro
ducts probably won’t live up to
expectations.
Farm expenditures likely will go
up faster than farm prices.
“There’s nothing more perman
ent than a temporary government
agency in agriculture,” he said.

“We solved Our Sitter Problem the Co-op Way,” in the
December 1961 issue of Parent’s Magazine, has interested
some couples in college housing. The article suggest a co-op
using a point system as its basis.
The sitter would have points added to her account and
the person who goes out would have the same points sub
tracted from her account. The person who lost points would
regain them w T hen she sat for someone else.
The number of points would depend on the number of
children, whether the sitter feeds them lunch or supper, etc.
Since most of the couples here in college are of the same
age and financial bracket, this type of baby sitting arrange
ment might be just the answer to a serious problem. Any
one interested may attend a meeting to organize this baby
sitting co-op Thursday at 8 p. m. in the Brooks Room of the
YMCA Building.
