PLAN BALLOON TRIP
OVER THE ATLANTIC
Scientist in Boston Believes He Can
Cross Ocean on Planetary Cur
rent of Air Running
Eastward

BOSTON, May "a balloon trip over
the Atlantic from Boston to Europe is
planned here, to be headed by Prof.
Henry H. Clayton, who recently re-
signed as meteorologist at the Blue Hill
observatory after sixteen years of duty
on the direction and velocity or WIND
currents.
Prof. Clayton believes he can cross
the Atlantic by taking advantage of an
upper air or planetary current, which,
his experiments have shown, flows con-
stantly eastward two miles and more
above the earth.
He declares he can make the distance
of 5000 miles easily in three or four
days.
As a result of a preliminary test of
the possibilities of the trip, Prof. Clay
ton is now making plans for an air voy-
age from san Francisco to the Atlantic
coast.

past month Colorado feeders
have been emptying their feed
lots rapidly on account of the
muddy condition of the yards
which prevents the stuff from
making much gain. For this
reason dealers here look for a
shortage of fat cattle in territory
tributary to this market and a
good strong demand at this point
with consequent high prices.
Hog supply was about 4,5OO
head but more could have been
used as the demand is strong
here now. especially for heavy
hogs. Prices closed Is to zoe
higher with the range from Sc. 70
to S7.15.
Sheep demand was good and
supply fair. Prices closed steady
to firm despite the eastern de-
cline. Good lambs sold at ST. so
and $3.50 with feeder lambs
bringing Sc. 80 fiat. A bunch Of
spring lambs brought $500 and
good fat ewes sold at S5.75 and

April, IL Good cattle were

week and prices at the close
were strong to dime higher
than a week ago. Medium and
palmer grades were no more
than steacy and the tone of the
market weak. Receipts were
quite liberal and some very good
cattle offered. Good to choice
steers sold at $5. 10 to SIS. 80 and
good cows brought S4. 20 to S4. 65
with fancy kinds on up. The
palmer cows were a little slow
at times. Bulls sold at SO. 25 to
S4.00-full steady, and veal
calves closed 25 to 40c higher
with best light weights up to
$3.50. The feeder and stocker
demand was good there being
number of eastern feeders here
looking for stuff. The inquiry
was best for good fleshy steers
of 900 lbs. weight and better, for
short feeding. Prices were firm
throughout on such, though the
palmer kinds were no more than
steady. Good to choice steers

The idea advanced by Presi
dent Taft and Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger about opening
up all land suitable for home
stead entry in the forest re-
serves, must strike generally
popular cord, despite the for
estry associations and Mr.. Pin
chot.
In the matter of homes the
people have the first claim, and
they will applaud the separation
of such lands from the forest
reserves.
The forestry association of
Colorado, composed largely of
city people and having its head
quarters in Denver, was mainly
instrumental in spreading re-
serve over so large proportion
of the state and boasted of the
millions of acres its influence
had been able to include in the
forest reserves.
That the acreage OF natural
forest ought to be protected, pre-
served ane increased in SO far
as is possible is true, but that
the bald tops of mountains and
the great area of park ranges
need be included in the reserves,
does not appear as wisdom, par
ticularly so long as no effort is
being made but to continue it as
a perpetual pasture.
If the government was or had
or could, experiment practically
with such area in tree plan ing
and forest cultivation. it would
be a different thing, but no such
effort has TO any extent at least,
been made.
Possibly as time advances. the
forestry question will solve
itself in all the states as much
as it is now doing in California,
by the territory becoming an
open field for individual enter
prise along the line of growing
forest trees for profit. While
the eucalyptus might not be
adapted everywhere, there are
other trees such as the various
nut bearing varieties, which can
be grown generally, and which
not only yield a profit from their
crop annually, but whose timber
would also become valuable.
The English and American wal
nut, pecans and other varities,
are already being farmed ir
tracts up to 1000 acres or more
in some of the states, and some
of the trees have yielded in g
nut crop as high as $35 and SAC
each. They live to countless
years and don't need any spray
ing, and the yield is up to that
of the average orchard fruit
tree.
