Photo Comment
'Men load bags of crop dust onto an airplane for the US Department of Agriculture. In 1952 many farmers lost most of their alfalfa crops due to weevil.' Interesting photo, taken by a local photographer, of an early C-47 (no suffix), 41-38697, converted to top-loading crop duster. The first in a fleet of aircraft assigned a BEPQ (Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine) number.
