Mr.. St John made an exhaustive re-

AGAIN ESTABLISHES new
WORLD AIRSHIP RECORD

While Lieutenant Beck was not sue
cussful in placing the bombs within
the square. he did not land far away
and it was demonstrated that the aero
plane could be used for such a pur-
pose and that 1t was a matter of prac-
tice only in placing the bombs where
wanted.
The other aviators did not accom-
plish much. Charles K. Hamilton made
three starts in an attempt to lower
Paulhan's altitude record of 4.165
feet. On his first flights Hamilton
rose 455 feet. on his second 300 feet
and on his third approximately 700
feet. Paulhan on the seashore ex-
ceeded this without any effort at rec
ord breaking. Hamilton's machine
was not working well enough to en-
courage him to go higher.
The Gill-Dosch machine met with
an accident that eliminated 1t from
any work today. This is an American
machine owned by II. W. Gill of Bal
tImore. 1t has been tested out several
trouble. This time the trouble was
serious. At height of from 80 to
100 feet It circled the field once and
then came down with a crash that
wrecked its left plane. Hillary

THE DEATH OF A POTATO

The Early Ohio potato is easily the
most widely grown variety in the
United States, being of excellent table
quality and adapted to various soils
both north and south.
At the present writing, SO far as
the plains region is concerned, the
extinction of this variety seems to be
matter of only a season or two.
Internal brown rot" or "the stem end
disease" is reported from Idaho, Mon
tana, Wyoming and South Dakota to
Nebraska and eastern Colorado. as ef-
fecting this variety only.
DR.. E. VI. Wilcox. of the Nebraska
station, and his four assistants have
spent most of their time for six
months or more on this disease. ap-
preaching the problem from every
conceivable way. but have not deter
mined the. cause. much less found a
cure.
A Nebraska potato region that has
shipped as many as 1.4o0 cars of
Ohio's in a single year. finds its pres
ent market nearly destroyed by this
disease and other causes. During the
writer's recent institute trip in Ne
braska. he saw 5000 bushels OF ohio's

best lot. after cooking, gave on. when

place. a fancy lot of Ohio's was
thrown out of competition as CONNER

with brown rot Nothing kills trade
in potatoes for a variety or a region
more quickly than to find that the out
side appearances gives the lie to the
inside quality. For this and other rea-
sons. $50 cars of Early Ohio potatoes
stood unsold on track in Omaha and
Kansas City al one time the past fall.
There appear to be two ways OF es-
cape for growers OF Ohio potatoes;
First. good farming, rotation, cultiva-
ton. storage-that at Greeley have
successfully resisted the gradually in
creasing vigor Of this disease else

orally can approach that of our best
regions In Colorado. The second way
out is by disease resistant varieties.
