WHO OWNS THE AIR?
Pressing Problem That Must Be Settled at Once Whether an
Aviator Has the Right Of Way Over Private Property, the
Ownership Of Which in Every Case, According to the
Old Roman Law, Extends Upward Indefinitely.

New York City.-How high must
an aviator fly to be safe from the con-
sequences of illegal trespass? and
great many other questions, not
burning now but considered as soon
to be hot ones, were treated by Lyt-
tleton Fox, lawyer, in an address to
members of the Aero Club of Amer
lea. The answer was that he aviator
would have to be out of sight. He
must dodge the police.
The old Roman law which gives to
the owner of land absolute ownership
also of the air above it is responsible
for this. The law must b. changed,
he added, or the courts viii be ruin
ously congested. AS matters stand
there having been no changes in the
law for several hundred years, a man
in flying machine has no rights that
man with plow is bound to re-
spect. The question is how best to
bring the attention of the judicial
system to this unfair discrimination
| against the flying portion of the race.
M mar can fly as things now stand
without technically breaking the law.
unless he gets special privileges from
the landowners
1t is a problem that bristles with
novelty, says Mr.. Fox. In the event
of pedestrians being hit by ginger
pop bottles dropped by the passing
! aviator or by other objects. includ-
ing he aviator himself, the man be-
low would have redress at law Mr..
Fox believes the Aero Club should
urge the Wright brothers, for in
stance, to consent to be sued by the
owner of land over which they have
flown (and thereby trespassed). so
as to bring the whole subject before
the courts for settlement. The suit
should be friendly one, he sdiu. the
object being to modify, if possible,
the law of aerial trespass. Another
way might be to condemn the air by
legal procedure, and thus knock over
the historical fossil.
discussion that followed tho ad-
dress of the evening resulted in the
! members arriving at the firm belief
that the air should be considered a
highway, and there was preliminary
talk concerning an attempt at legis-
lative enactment.
To avert suits for aerial trCSpass
Mr. Fox suggests that the State con-
denim and buy stratum of air as a
highway for flying machines. The
fact that Count Lambert in his flight
across Paris violated q police regula-
tion for5idding aeroplaning over the
city shows that the French have al
ready applied the law 70 cover one
phase of the question. BY leaving
the aerodrome for his Paris flight
Lambert incurred penalty of 81;

Cause of Gapcs in Chicks.

Gapes in little chickens are caused
by the eating of carth-worms. There
are parasites in the carth-worms
which find their way into the wind
pine Of the chickens and lodge there.
where they take the form of little rcd
worms. The best preventive is to
keep the chickens from the surface
of the ground: or use salt or strong
salt wafer on the sell. so as TO kill the
earth-wOrms: or strew strong lime
or something of thu kind on the
ground. so that the chicks will not
get hold of the worms to eat them.
After the chicks have been attacked
with gapes, however. you can dis
lodge the worms by making a very
small loop in 4 twisted horsehair,
draw out the tongue of the chick
slightly, insert the horsehair loop in
the windpipe opening. which will be
seen between the forks at the base of
the tongue, and, twisting the hair
around, withdraw it. The worms are
likely to be found within the loop, or
some of them will have been thus re-
moved, and the operation can be re-
peated.
Another remedy is to dip the tip of
a soft feather into kerosene and in
sert it in the windpipe opening to dis
lodge and kill the worms. Such
treatment, although severe, is bet
ter than letting the worms remain un-
disturbed, to severely annoy the fowls
and even kill them.
Mixing turpentine or other sub
stances in the food of the young poul-
try has not proven satisfactory as q
remedy for gapes.-H. A. S.

the act constitute n cause of war?
II the aeroplane develops the power
to carry explosives for dropping on
an enemy's fleet, will the practice be
permitted under the rules Of war?
The interesting fact in connection
with the suggested regulation of air
travel is that it is already made nee
essary by an invention only yesterday
in it's infancy which threatens a re-
vision of the statute books along with
its revolution of traffic
In advocating arrangements for a
test SUIT, Mr.. Fox seems to believe
that afler the existing legal status of
an aerial trespasser has once been
clearly outlined the law may be so
modified that the air will he pro-
nounced pnblic highway. Legisla-
tion of that kind, however, would be
unfortunate If it were not very accur-
ately limited. There is a wide differ
ence between navigation of the sea
and navigation of the air If a trans
atlantic steamship is badly handled
those who are on board her may
suffer, and she may injure an
other craft which is on the same
level. There is practically no chance,
however. that she will harm ANYBODY
or anything directly under her, at the
POTION of the ocean. She can discard
ashes, ballast or any other material
without fearof doing mischief. If such
things are dropped from an airshiD.
there will always be n possibility of
danSer-a danger which is enhanced
by the temperamental characteristics
OF those who engage in aerial naviGa-
tion for sport.
Editorially the New York Times
says:
"Will tho invasion Of the air by
aeropianes be repelled by suits for
trespass?
We think not. The first success
.ful human fight made the air a high
way-a possibility not contemplated
IN the Roman law. Besides. there can
be no effective possession of the upper
air by a land owner. Where possess
sion neither is nor has been, there
should be no ownership. At any rate.
this is assumed in Germany and
Switzerland, which have passed stat
utes establishing rules of the aerial
road"

YORKTOWN CELEBRATION
"Cornwallis Is Taken" Rings Out
Again-Memcries Rekindled BY
5000 People Finding Their Way to
the Secluded Spot.

VIC oeCluueQ OpOC.
Yorktown, Va, Spccial.-Quaint
old Yorktown, for the second time
within the period of its national famI
Tuesday commemorated with fittin.
ceremonies that glorious event in
American history with which its
name is identified. Here was laid
one hundred and twenty-eieht years
ago to day the cornerstone of liber-
ty upon which great nation has been
built.
CORVALLIS is taken,' Those sim
pie words sent broadcast from here
this date three years more than IA
century and Il quarter ago meant
that the burdensome yoke OF British
rule had been east off by the long
suffering American colonists and that
a new republic. destined TO become
powerful, had been born.
Yorktown today is village of less
than one hundred people. 1t is as
though the stage setting for that
final drama of the Revolutionary war
mad been reserved as the actors left
1t, a relic of antiquity as well as a
monument to American patriotism.
The descendants of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence and
an offspring of that organization. the
Yorktown Historical Society of the
United States recently decided to
hold an annual celebration here this
October 10 and henccforth on this
date, and probably five thousand peo-
pie responded to their appeal. When
the fact that Yorktown is still with
out railroad communication is taken
into consideration, the attendance
was remarkable.
TO most people present the exer-
cises were the least part of the ceie-
bration, although there was parade
OF mounted horscmen and horse
women, led by the Fort Monroe band
and the soldiers and sailors, than a
parade of the school children and af-
forwards public speaking from a
srandstand erected in front of the
historic old Nelson mansion.
The parade began at l O'Clock and
was full of inspiration. The school
children of York county, who were
grouped before the grandstand, then
sang "America,' after which Col.
Oswald Tilgham of Easton. Nd, a
direct descendant of Lieut.. Col. Tench
Tilgham. aide-dc-camp to General
Washington, who carried the famous
massage CORVALLIS is taken'' to
the Continental Congress in Philadel-
phia, made an address. He also read
the correspondence between Washing
ton and Lord CORVALLIS and the
terms of capitulation.

Hay For S3 n Ton.

With beef cattle on the farm the
millions of tons of corn stalks that
rot in our fields. and that represent
from thirty-five to forty per cent. of
the feeding value of the corn crop,
would be converted into beef and
manure. The thousands of tons of
oats and wheat straw, the large quan-
titles of slightly damaged hay, the
many tons of sorghum. peavine and
soy bean hay too coarse for the mar
ket. would all be eaten by the cattle
and help to enrich the farm and the
farmer.
The question OF producing feed to
grow beef cattle is not n serious one
i'll the South. rs 7 will cEGeavor to
prove. Last fall we planted one field
in oats; The oats were cut for hay in
the dough state: the land was then
planted in sorghum: The sorghum
yielded two cuttings: III" total Weld
of hay per acre from this field was
six and fourth tons. Including Sc
per acre rent for the land. the hay
cost sec per ton in the rick. An
adjoining field was planted in wheat
to he cut for hay: the wheat was fol-
lowed with cOwpeaS. the total Weld
of hay per acre was 3.S5 tons; includ-
ing So per acre rent, the hay cost So
per ton in the rick-Professor E. r.

Renewal Of Old Strawberry Beds.

Many of the leading growers of the
strawberry recommend taking but n
single crop from plantation. This
means getting only one crop from the
land during two years. Thus, after
the picking season is over the plants
are plowed under and the land is pre-
pared and planted to some late forage
or other crop. This method also re-
quires setting a new plantation each
spring and keeping a double area of
land in strawberries for at least q
part of the time.
In this State, however, two, three
and sometimes more crops are taken
from n plantation in successive years.
Some growers state that the second
years crop is often greater than that
of the first year after setting the
plants, while the third is apt to be in
ferior to the first two. The number
of crops that can be harvested with
profit appears to depend to n tonSid-
cradle extent upon the method of re-
newal, the care and freedom from
weeds, and the use Of fertiliZing ma
terials. In some cases six and seven
the same plantation before putting
the land into other crops, but this is
not regarded as profitable.
Two methods of renewal with
some variations. were noted. In one
method the old rows are narrowed
down to about one foot by light plow-
ing or deep cultivating between the
rows. During the remainder of the
season cultivation and irrigation are
given the same as in new plantations,
the runners being allowed to root
along the sides of the rows until the
spaces are only about one foot wide.
Additional thinning of the plants
In the rows is frequently secured by
blocking" the old rows. This is
done by hand with hoe or by means
of 4 cultivator run crosswise of the
rows.
In tho second method of renewal
the rows are plowed along one side
about one-third only of the width of
each row being left. The correspond
ing side of each row is plowed under
and the next year the reverse side is
thus treated. In this way all of the
oiuSSI stlIu "edheSI DlaHtS are re-
moved, and the next year the rows do
not stand on the same land as the
year before.
This method possesses two dis
tinct advantages over the former.
First, it allows of the breaking up
and cultivation of the soil in the cen
tire of the old row, which has become
packed and hard. Second. the plants
left to send out runners are younger
and possess more vitality than those
in the centre of the old row. and are.
therefore. capable of producing better
plants. This method seems better
adapted to longer duration of the
plantation than the former. and is the
one practiced by many of the most
successful growers.

Cut the Grass Early and Often.

I have heard men who should have
known better, say that it is best to
let newly sown lawns grow without
cutting, and let the grass Iun to seed,
the notion being that the seed will
help thicken the sward. But try this
and you will find that you have a
brown hay stubble when the ripe
grass is cut, and the formation of
seed has weake.sed the grass so that
more harm than good is done by the
seeding. Start the mower on the
newly sown lawn AZ soon as the grass
is tall enough for it to catch, and
then, while rain is abundant, run the
mower every week.
In making q new lawn where the
soil is sandy on the surface, get the
plow down to clay if practicable, for
clay is essential to grass in the South.
and If deep sand, then haul clay on
it, and grow peas for a time to get
organic decay in the soil before seed
ing to grass.
A fine green sward is well worth
working for, and when you have got
ten fine sod around your house use
trees and shrabbery for the framing.
and do not frame it with a fence and
then make 4 pasture of it.-W. +.
Massey.
