which will be evidenced in the appear
ance of the Herring machine. Mr..
Herring has formed partnership with
Glenn H. Curtiss, the aeroplanist, and it
is understood that they and the Wright
brothers have patents pending on an
automatic controlling device which is
expected to revolutionize the present
efficiency and stability of heavier than
air machines. Their appearance at
Fort Myer at practically the same time
is significant.
The Wright brothers have fully dem
strated their ability to fulfill the re-
quirements of their contract with the
government, and their experiments in
Europe for the purpose of increasing
their speed will offer the only new fea-
ture to their trials.
Orville Wright, who has announced
his intention of completing the trials
at Fort Myer, in spite of the fact that
he has fully recovered from the serious
injury which he suffered in the acct
dent to his machine last September,
has, while in Europe, constructed
new motor intended to materially In
crease the speed of the Wright ma

and taking practice spins in the diri-
gible.
The officers of the Signal Corps will
begin to train the men in the balloon
squad by making numerous flights in
the Signal Corps ship No. II. This is
a new spherical balloon having a ca
pacity of 5000 cubic feet of gas and
carrying three people 1t has made
several successful trips since it was
purchased last summer.
AS soon as the tent for housing the
dirigible No. 1 has been erected. Lieuts.
Frank p. Lahm and Benjamin D. Fou-

terminated in October last. One of the
trips proposed is to cross the Potomac
from Fort Myer and fly over the capitol
building. The dirigible is the only one
in the possession of the government.
Aeroplane Trials Later.
The aeroplane trials at Fort Myer
will begin some time in May. A. NJ
Herring of New York, pioneer in avia-
ton, is due to deliver his machine at
Fort Myer'near the latter part of next

NEW YORK, April 30.-The time

they would be greatly inconvenience
by the change. All further efforts for
an extension, however, were refused.

Herrinq's New Motor.

The Herring Curtiss aeroplane is not
expected to offer any materially new
features as to the farrying surface, be-
ing, it is understood, similar to the
June Bug and other machines of the
Aero Experiment. association. The
motor, however, if successful, will be a
marvel of light construction and dura-
bility.
This motor is described as having
five treated Chrome nickel steel cylin-
ders set radically around single shaft
It's total weight, including the fly wheel,
spark coils. carburetors, and part of
the containing frame, is said to be only
25 pounds, while it develops % horse
power. Two of these motors will be
used on the aeroplane intended for the
government, which is to weigh approx
tmately 200 pounds.

Weather Conditions.

SATURDAY; warmer east portion To-
night.
Weather Conditions.
The severe eastern storm has
caused wire trouble which has cut off
many reports. Those received show
that the storm is now central over the
Great Lakes accompanied by high
winds and heavy precipitation. Snow
has fallen as far west as the Rocky
Mountains, and a cold wave is felt
along the eastern slope of the Rockies.
On the Pacific slope the weather has
remained fair with light frosts in por-
tiOns of Washington and Oregon and
temperatures much below freezing in
southern Idaho, attending a strong
area of high pressure now central
over Idaho. The indications are for
showers in this vicinity tonight or
Saturday with warmer tonight.

U. S. TOBACCO PRODUCTION.
Department Of Agriculture Issues Re-
port on Districts and Types.

Washington, Dec "A report on to-
bacco districts and types has just been
issued by the department OF agricul-
ture. The report shows that while
some tobacco is produced in almost
every state. less than 1 per cent Of
this countrys crop is grown west of
the Mississippi. Texas being the only
trans Mississippi state in which the
industry has gained much Importance.
Kentucky leads all the states in to-
bacco growing. 1t produces more than
one-third of the United States crop and
about one ninth OF the entire crop OF
the world.
The tobacco grown in the United
States is OF two general types or class
es, Cd cigar tobacco, and CD chewing,
smoking, snuff and export tobaccos.
In 1908 something more than 10000
900 pounds of cigar tobacco was grown
in the United States, and nearly four
times that amount of the other types.
The cigar tobaccos are grown most
ly in New England. Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Wisconsin. though there is
a considerable and rapidly increasing
production of this tobacco In Georgia,
Florida and Texas. The tobacco used
for chewing. smoking. snuff. and ex-
port are produced most heavily in Ken
lucky, Tennessee. North Carolina, Vir-
ginia, and South Carolina.
Tobacco production is largely confin-
ed TO certain clearly defined districts.
each of which produces a special type
and fills demand for that type The
kind of tobacco grown in particular
districts depends mainly on the soil
and climatic conditions.
The report further discussed the dark
districts of Kentucky and Tennessee;
the Virginia sun-cured district; the
Virginia dark district; the bright yell
low district in Virginia, North and
South Carolina; the Maryland and
easter Ohio export and perique On
Louisiana.
