NEW JERSEY AERONAUTIC SHOW
Experts In Aerial Flight VIII BE in
attendance

NEW YORK, May 22.-The stride of
American scientific and inventive genius
in solving problems that have baffled all
ages will be shown with the opening of the
aeronautic carnival which is to be held
in Arlington, n. j., from May % to May
81. Europe has been quick to realize our
wonderful accomplishments in conquertng
the air, especially since the Wright aero
plane made the old world sit up and crane
its neck in watching the sky. This inter-
est of the great nation is borne out by the
fact that Germany and Italy have already
made arrangements through their embas-
sizes at Washington to send representatives
to witness the tests Of the great American
~aeronauts and make reports of their sue
cess. That France will follow this exam
pie is a foregone conclusion.
Beside the Wright brothers, who will
be the guests of the West Hudson Aero
club, Captain Baldwin will make several
flights with his new airship, which will
be the exact duplicate of the one he re-

George Dixon's Career.

What a mint of money poor little
George Dixon made during his long and
brilliant career! Yet he died in poverty.
Dixon was a great spendthrift and loved
to open wine by the case after winning
a fight. He won $22,O ~ when he defeated
Jack Shelly at New Orleans in 1892. Dixon
must nave fought more than a 100 battles,
which Melted him more than 10000, while
he earned probably 100000 more in the
theatrical business, as he was the star of a
burlesaue show which toured the United
States for many years
1T was pitiful to see the little feather
weight champion wandering up and down
Broadway with no home, his clothing
shabby. That was a year or so before
he was picked up unconscious in the gutter
and taken to Bellevue, where he died a
pauper.
Peter Jackson was another great pugi-
list who loved the grape juice. He made
money fast when he first came to this
country from Australia by defeating such
men as George Godfrey. Joe McAuliffe.
Patsy Cardiff. Jack Fallon and others.
Then he went to England and cleaned up
another big bank roll by knocking out
| Jem Smith and Paddy slavin. Jackson was
very popular in Great Britain and IL was
there that he acquired the wine habit
For several years he lived in London at

THE RIGHT KIND OF PEOPLE

Mr. and Mrs. H. d. Sears enter
tanned at dinner Mr. and Mrs. Van
Buskirk on Sunday. The afternoon
was spent in music. Mrs. Sears is a
talented pianist, and Mr.. Sears a
skilled performer upon the violin. Both
have been engaged in the profession of
teaching upon their respective instru-
ments for several years, but failing
health resulting from long application
made change necessary. Hence they
are now engaged in dairying, and their
place, purchased from Mrs. Jackson
last fall, is being developed into a
model country home and dairy farm.

The Editor of the Indiana Farmer
writes as follows: Much of the logged
off lands in western Washington state
are valuable for agricultural and graz
ing purposes, when the stumps have
been removed and a system OF cultlVa-
ton established. This, however, re-
uuires the expenditure of money rang
ing from $25 to $500 per acre for
clearing and putting the land in con-
dition for the plow. Because of the
great expense of clearing almost the
entire logged-off area remains in a
deserted and desOlate condition, not
possessing any value for farmers, and
worth but little to the lOggerS and
lumbermen.
What to do with logged off land is
problem that requires more than in
dividual consideration. 1t has attract
ed the attention of legislators of both
the State and the Nation, and active
work of investigation into the cost OF
clearing and utilizing such areas IS
being prosecuted by official agents OF
the Government.
We suggest that the owners OF that
stumpy land sell the stumps to the
paper mills and with the money re-
ceived put it in condition to grow
crops upon. Some years ago we saw
woodmen cutting down some of those
giant fir and hemlock trees, and
thought them wasteful, for they left
stumps eight to ten feet high. They
made scaffolds to stand on while chop
ping, so as to make the work easier,
and have better shaped first cut logs.
Now these great tall stumps ought to
be valuable to the paper makers.

Stump lands covering vast areas in
Wisconsin and Minnesota are very
tedious to cultivate and expensive to
clear The experiment stations OF
these two states, in cooperation with
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
are planning tests of methods of re-
moving stumps from these cut-over
lands. The field work will be directed
by j. F. Kadonsky, Dorchester, Wis.
The purpose Of this work is to dis
cover methods that are cheap and ef-
fective for putting stump lands in
condition for crop culture. The plan
is to first secure the experience and
cooperation of those who have re-
moved old pine stumpage, including

SMALL DEMONSTRATION FARMS

Offers of cooperation in establishing
demonstration farms at different
points in the state have been received
by the State College at Pullman from
six western Washington counties, and
one from eastern Washington. The
counties represented and the requests
are: Chehalis county, two requests;
Mason, Pierce, Lewis, King, CoWlitz,
Whatcom, Yakima, Benton and Spo-
kane counties, one request each.
The small demonstration farm,
which is an entirely new feature OF
the work of the State College, will be
used to demonstrate. and prove in
many neighborhoods of Washington
the value and practicability of the
better farming. orcharding and dairy
ing practices that have already been
worked out at the Experiment Station
at Pullman. Wherever installed, the
small plots of land and working equip
ment will be furnished by farmers and
business men willing to cooperate
with the State College to this extent,
the work being done under the advice
and supervision of the station experts.
