Week number 51-28
Newsreels in which Dutch subjects of a certain week are presented.
Dutch designers have designed a new machine to spray orchards. The new machine has the advantage that it works with a vaporizing head through which air is blown. This way it needs less water so it can be used in areas where there is less water available. SHOTS: - In an orchard a grower shows apple trees with leaves affected by apple scab; - demonstration of old spraying methods: the hand sprayer carried on the back; the barrel sprayer and the motorized sprayer (the sprayers aren't wearing any protective clothing or masks); - demonstration of new machine by two men in protective clothing and with masks: one drives the tractor pulling the installation, the other one sits behind the spraying head and aims this at the trees in the orchard.
