WILL TRY TO FLY IN BAL
LOON FROM OMAHA TO BOSTON

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 31.-ln an
attempt to surpass the record flight
OF / ,20b miles In free balloon now
held by France, Lieutenant James f..
Ware. of the signal corps of the Unit
ed States army, Charles j. Glidden and
Prof II II. Clayton will undertake to
fly from Fort Omaha, Neb., to Boston
early In October. Lieutenant Ware
was in Kansas City last night TO meet
Mr.. Glidden 10 talk over the prepara.
lions of the flight.
I'VE will make this flight from
Fort Omaha because the only hydro
gen gas factory In the United States
is located there" Lieut.. Ware said
The reason France now holds the
record Is because the French aero
nauts use hydrogen gas exclusively
while Americans have been using or
dinary coal gas. Hydrogen gas viii
lit seventy pounds for each 1000 Gu
I bic feet while the same amount o
coal gas will only lift from thirty I,
forty pounds. When we make tn,
/ flight we will rise two miles in tn,
air at the start. When we cross tn,
borders Of New England we will b,
mp In the air three miles. This dli
ference in heights Is necessary to keel
the equilibrium OF the balloon.

FARMERS INsrT1~ .E
IN OLD NATHAN BUILDING


Colorado is justly proud of her ag
ricultural college Durango is no ex
ception TO the rule. Speakers from
the college are always greeted by an
appreciative audience although in mum
bers the attendance is sometimes OF
necessity small.
| The crusade TO make farm life more
attractive and profitable is one of the
most important labors in which Uncle
| Sam is engaged.
The talks of the morning were In
| formal. Prof. II. Al. Cottren spoke
with regret that after several years
OF persistent effort they had not sue
ceeded in inducing La Plata county
tc raise potatoes. With land at about
half the price 1t brings In the Greeley
district and the yield which the soil
here would produce If properly cult
waited the growing of potatoes certain
ly ought to make our farmers wealthy
The freight rate is only cents more a
hundred than the farmer in the Gree
ley district has to pay Certainly the
existing conditions show that land Is
producing only about one-third of
crop.
The speaker paid La Plata the un-
flattering compliment that it is the
only county where farmers institutes
have been regularly held that nota-
BILE Improvement in farming has not
been shown. He proposes to cease
laboring with the older inhabitants and
interest the younger members. hoping
lie effort will produce greater results
His plan is to make talks from school
house TO school house. Give the chill
dren practical talks in potato raising:
give them specimens of the Pearl po.
tato, the one best suited to Colorado
soil and offer a prize for the best
yield

practicing the slip-shod methods scor-
ed by Professor Cottreli and that
farmer could go home and not do |
more effective work. his conscience |
aud Intellect must have been coated |
to the thickness of alligator skin.
The afternoon session was short |
Especial attention was called to the |
change that is to take place in the |
agricultural college course. Hereto
fore only high school graduates have |
been admitted to the college, except

Beginning in September the college |
