WASHINGTON, July 21.-Cutting
great figure 'Ss' through the air, Orville
Wright made a new American aviation
record yesterday at Fort Myer. when in
a Wright aeroplane he made a spectac-

and forty-five seconds.
The longest previous flight was of sew
enty-four minutes. made by Mr.. Wright
at Fort Myer last fall
During the entire flight the machine

The limited finances available up to this
time have not permitted US publishing and
distributing a number OF bulletins which
We consider OF essential value to the
farmers Of the state. We have had quite
an extensive experience with alfalfa and
vetch. however, and think we can offer
some suggestions that will be Of serv-
Ice.
Alfalfa should only be planted on land
that has been made very rich by the
blowing under OF green leguminous crops.
and applications Of ten 10 twenty loads OF
well rotted fsrmyard manure. At least
90 pounds OF acid phosphate and 100
pounds Of muriate OF potash should be
applied per acre, or you may use 800
70 100 pounds OF finely ground bone with
the amount OF potash suggested Land
Intended for alfalfa should be heavily
lined, certainly not less than one ton OF
caustic lime being used per acre. and
where the finely ground unburned rock
Is used, from three to five tons should
he applied. The alfalfa should be seeded
at the rate OF twenty pounds per acre
IN late August or early September II the
season Is at all favorable. II Il makes
a strong growth IL should be clipped
during the fall. but not pastured nor
allowed to grow above four inches high
before cutting In the spring II may
be cut for hay. IL would be well to
Top dress Il in the spring with we'll rot
ted farmyard manure and apply addi-
tfonal phosphates and potash, and har-
row the land well after each cutting. II
should be cut when just coming into
bloom. that is. when not over One-tenth
OF the heads show the characteristic pur-
pie blossom.
vetch should be seeded any time after
September I In this section OF the
state The hairy vetch Is the hardest and
most satisfactory variety to sow. II may
be sown at the rate Of one-half to one
bushel OF seed per acre on any well pre-
pared ground We have seeded IL with
great success In conjunction with rye
and oats after both cotton and corn. It
makes an excellent cover crop and fine
grazing In the early spring and pro-
duces a superior quality OF hay. We can
commend its use for a cover crop. for
pasture purposes and for soil enrichment
rs well Heavy fertilization is not neces-
sary with the Vetch. though IL would
be well to apply a mixture Of 10-4 acid
and potash at the rate OF 80 pounds per
acre when seeding In the fall.
As you probably know. first crop pota-
toes should be used as seed for the sec
ond crop In this section. and you can
grow as good seed here at home as else
where. The potatoes may be harvested
when ripe and put in a cool cellar where
they viii be dry and have plenty Of air
circulation through them. or they may
be left IN the ground until ready for the
second planting Small. whole potatoes
ahould be planted about the LIST Of Au-

Several thousand people were given an

PRINCE CHING DECLARED
TO BE INCOMPETENT

strong indictment of the incapacity and

You can effectively protect your peas
from the attack OF the weevil If you
will place them in a tight box or bin,
preferably tin lined. so as to prevent rein
lection, and treat them on one pound Of
carbon bisulphide for each ton of grain.
In treating in empty rooms, one pound
should be used for every 1000 cubic feet.
1t will be of little use, however, to treat
cowpeas with carbon bisulphide and
leave them in an open place where the
wevil can again attack them which II
certainly will do. Carbon bisulphide is
heavier than air and when placed in a
vessel on top of the grain sinks down
through IL and effectively kills all the
weevils. It is not costly and may be OBJ
tained from any drug store. You should
!, exercise great care in handling it. how
ever, as 1t is very explosive and ignites
very readily, and hence lights should not
be used in its vicinity.
Oats will answer fairly well for feeding
hog through the summer time. OF
course they are not so fattening as corn
and contain a much larger per cent Of
husk than some other cereals. and hence
are not as effective In fattening hogs as
other classes of stock which have a
greater digestive capacity. We would
suggest that you have a small lot OF
cowpeas and soy beans or any other
! legume on which you can Craze the hog
during the summer and fall that he will
gather much of the food needed, certainly
enough to keep him in a growing and
thriving condition, and then late in the
autumn you may finish him on with a
little corn. We have finished a good
many hogs on grazing crops with a mini
mum amount Of grain and find II very
satisfactory method to pursue. Naturally,
II is late in the season to lay down
crops for this purpose but il would pay
you TO bear in the matter in mind and
provide some grazing lots for hogs an
other season. as we can grow a success

This brings US 20 a consideration Of
ne question OF desirable grazing crops
.or hogs Wherever crimson clover Will
Frow Il should be utilized. as Il furnishes
about the earliest desirable grazing that
ian be obtained in the spring. In some
sections rye is used with fair success. but
hogs VIII often not eat II with relish, par
hculariy after II begins to grow rapidly,
and there are other crops which can be
utilized IN the fall TO better advantage.
After the crimson clover Is gone a good
blue grass or Bermuda sod Will answer
until the early maturing cowpeas have
ripened far enough to turn the hogs on
Then. Il win be a simple matter TO main
tain q succession OF cowpeas until the soy
beans are ready In the fall. Soy beans
may also be grown in succession and util-
he'd for feed through November and even
On up 70 Christmas BY that time the
hogs should have made at least $50 to
DO pounds in weight In some sections IL
Is deemed advisable TO fatten them on
corn for at least a month or six weeks,
but In many places this practice is being
abandoned because cowpeas and soy
beans yield anywhere from 70 to 20 bush
els OF grain per acre and II is not so
necessary TO feed corn to harden up the
flesh and finish on the hogs grazed on
