We claim: 1. A material surface applicator comprising: (a) a plurality of receptacles for attaching hoses from an air seeder cart; (b) a plurality of primary distribution tubes extending from the rear of the receptacles; (c) a plurality of towers that are mounted on a boom; (d) a plurality of secon
We claim: 1. A material surface applicator comprising: (a) a plurality of receptacles for attaching hoses from an air seeder cart; (b) a plurality of primary distribution tubes extending from the rear of the receptacles; (c) a plurality of towers that are mounted on a boom; (d) a plurality of secondary distribution tubes emanating from each tower; (e) a plurality of deflector shields mounted to the rear side of the boom; (f) two boom wheels at either end of the boom; (g) a center section comprising a single axle, two center wheels, an inside support bar, and two outside support bars; (h) two swing arms, each of which is pivotally connected to one of the outside support bars of the center section proximate the center wheels; (i) two main arms, each of which is releasably attached to a swing arm on one end and a bracket on the other end, wherein the bracket is mounted to the boom; and a latching mechanism that locks the swing arm in place when the material surface applicator is in a field or highway position. 2. The material surface applicator of claim 1, wherein the boom is pivotally connected to the center section so that the boom can be folded back when the material surface applicator is in a trail or highway position. 3. The material surface applicator of claim 1, wherein the number of receptacles equals the number of air seeder hoses. 4. The material surface applicator of claim 1, wherein the number of towers equals the number of primary distribution tubes. 5. The material surface applicator of claim 1, wherein the secondary distribution tubes deliver material to the deflector shields, and wherein the deflector shields evenly distribute the material over the surface of a field. 6. The material surface applicator of claim 1, wherein material is evenly distributed through the air seeder hoses by a meter on the air seeder cart, and wherein a hydraulic-driven fan on the air seeder cart propels the material through the air seeder hoses, primary distribution tubes, secondary distribution tubes, and out through the deflector shields onto the surface of a field. 7. The material surface applicator of claim 1, wherein the center wheels are stationary wheels. 8. The material surface applicator of claim 1, wherein the boom wheels are non-caster wheels with a quarter-turn plate. 9. The material surface applicator of claim 8, wherein the quarter-turn plate allows the boom wheels to be rotated ninety degrees. 10. The material surface applicator of claim 1, further comprising two saddles mounted on each side of the boom for receiving the main arms when the material surface applicator is in highway position. 11. The material surface applicator of claim 1, wherein the latching mechanism comprises a latch arm, a first spring, a second spring, and a rod, wherein the latch arm controls the first spring, wherein the first spring controls the rod, wherein the swing arm comprises a swing arm extension, wherein the swing arm extension comprises a notch, and wherein the rod fits into the notch in the swing arm extension when the swing arm is in a locked position. 12. The material surface applicator of claim 11, wherein the second spring pushes the swing arm away from the latching mechanism when the first spring is compressed and the rod is retracted from the notch in the swing arm extension. 13. The material surface applicator of claim 1, further comprising a first adjustment arm and a second adjustment arm, wherein the center section further comprises a center section housing, wherein the first adjustment arm stabilizes the center section housing, and wherein the second adjustment arm raises or lowers the swing arm so that the swing arm hits the latching mechanism at the correct angle.
