ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An improved apparatus and method for distributing solid particulate material uniformly over a zone. The improved apparatus comprises a supply hopper, having an inlet and an outlet, for holding solid particulate material; a deflec- tion plate located adjacent to the end of the outlet means away from the supply hopper, i.e., termination of the outlet means, to deflect the direction of flow of at least a portion of the particulate material flowing through the outlet means, and at least one conduit arranged for fluid communication with at least one variable source of gaseous media, the conduit being situated such that at least a portion of the gaseous media flows from the conduit into the space between the termination of the outlet means and the deflection plate to thereby cause at least a portion of the particulate material to be propelled in substantially the same direction as the flow of gaseous media. The time rate of flow of gaseous media supplied to the conduit is varied in a predetermined manner so what the particulate material is substantially uniformly distributed over the zone.
