CROP CONDITIONS
NOT IMPROVED
COTTON is NEEDING WORK
COM MMERCIAL APPEALS WEEK
LY SUMMARY OF CROP
CONDITIONS.

Today's Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal summarizes the crop conditions
in the south as follows:
The week gives mixed and rather
uncertain returns from the cotton
fields. Considerable improvement at
tendant upon dry weather is shown
in Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi
and Arkansas, while northern Louis
lana is rounding into a state of fair
promise.
The Carolinas and Georgia suffer
ed from heavy rains early in the week,
so that little cultivation was done on
the latter days, while Texas and Okla
homa without rain are approaching
time when the crop may suffer. In
fact, some loss has already been sus-
Texas.
In the central and eastern states
the crop is being "laid by in rather
poor condition, some of the fields
still being very grassy. Ten days
without rain would permit of rather
considerable improvement, but the
crop has received much less work than
it would have gotten under normal
weather. The plant remains small
and seems late. 1t has put on little
fruit and in many places has not be-
gun to bloom freely. Estimates on
condition seldom run higher than rs
per cent, and are often below this.
There are limited districts in all the
valley and Atlantic states, however,
that give a good account of the crop.
The plant is fairly well fruited, al
though still late in Texas and Oklaho-
ma. and will do we'll if rain is received
this week.
The condition in the state Arkansas
are summarized as follows:
The cotton crop in the eastern
counties needs more work badly.
Heavy rains retarded in places. There
was some improvement in the crop,
however, and in the west the fields
are in fair or good shape, although
the plant is everywhere small and is
not yet fruited to speak of.

ARKANSAN'S AIR
SHIP IN FLIGHT
TRIAL is SUCCESSFUL
TELEGRAPH OPERATOR MAKES
TWO SATISFACTORY TESTS
OF MACHINE.

Little Rock, July 25.-H. II. Hol-
land a telegraph operator for the
Iron Mountain at Cypress Junction,
about seven miles southwest of this
city, who has invented and succeeded
in building new model areroplane
made two tests of his air craft yes
terday. The tests were not intend
ed to be trial flights, but simply to de-
termne whether the motor would
work. The first test was made about
/ / o'clock yesterday morning, and the
machine left the earth and sailed
gracefully for about 25 yards. The
space in which the tests were made
being small and surrounded by woods,
Mr.. Holland was afraid to allow the
aeroplane to remain in the air any
longer and stopped the engine. The
machine settled down gently and came
to standstill.
II cond test was made after 3
oeIaa. sterday evening. The aero
plane was again rising from the earth
when the driver stopped the motor.
Mr. Holland stepped from his seat, his
face beaming with joy, as the specta-
tors cheered. He regards the tests as
proof positive that his machine will
| fly.
f. Nj. Garter and son, Roy, and F.
| r. Calvert of the Carter Auto Com
pany of this city, who are looking
after the mechanism of the aeroplane
for its builder, were present at the
second test yesterday and were de-
lighted with the result.
1T will fly; there can be no doubt
of it," said the senior Mr.. Carter.
"That young man is certainly wiz
ard"
The Carter auto people expect to
take Mr.. Holland and the aeroplane to
some suitable place for trial flight
within a few days.
Mr.. Holland thus describes his eX-
Deflcllce WlJll HIS lHNeHllOll
morning:
Il had the machine out for the pur-
pose of trying the engine and was
running it up and down the course
had prepared for that purpose. On
the fourth trip across the stretch |
speeded it up to about Is miles an
hour when all vibration seemed to be
eliminated. The rear part of the car
had left the earth. | raised the ele-
waiting planes and the entire machine
rose gracefully, skimming along above
the ground at a height of probably
Is inches Then it began to rise high
er and | feared to let it soar any
further, as | was nearing the end of
the course. So | stopped the engine
and allowed the car to settle back to
the earth, which it did nicely. 1t was
only a very little flight, but is salts
fed me that the machine will fly when
| get it out where | can give it fair
trial"

MARATHON DANCES
DOOMED BY BOARD
Supervisors Enact Bill PrOhib-
iting Exhibitions as Degrad-
ing to Participants

Marathon dancing is doomed IN San
Francisco. Acting on Mayor McCar-
thy's suggestion that I'VE ought to save
these fools from themselves" Super
visor Herget, as chairman of the police
committee. introduced an ordinance yes
terday. which was passed to print by
the board, making participation in such
an endurance test a misdemeanor.
This Marathon dancing is no test of
skill or science or pluck" said Herget
last night speaking of the inhibition
In line with the mayors suggestion,
we brought in the bill 1t doesn't affect
real dancing or curtail anybody'S per-
sonal liberty. I'm for personal liberty
myself. But these Marathon exhibitions,
L understand, were fierce. 1t wasn't
tryout of muscle or nerve or skill. but
just to see which couple should shuttle
around the longest
There was no sense to il. Besides
the exhibitions were disgusting and de-
grading TO the spectators and were
likely to do harm TO those taking part
| understand they were to be allowed
three minute intervals for rest, but the
foolish participants wouldn't stop for
even this-'didn't want to lose the time
"Of course, if anybody wants to pro-
test against the ordinance the commit
tee will hear them. The bill doesn't cut
of anybody from having a good time
and interferes not at all with balls. 1t
is intended to save the public from
these exhibitions. which showed neither
skill nor decency."

HERBERT {. LAWS
BOAT MAKES PORT
Had Three Crews and COaled
Ten Times on Trip From
Atlantic to Pacific

The steam yacht Aquilo, which was
of this city, arrived here yesterday
little weather beaten, but as trim
pleasure craft as ever came in through
the Golden gate. From New York TO
San Francisco is a long voyage for
100 ton vessel that depends upon steam
and has bunker capacity for only 80
tons of coal. AS the Aquilo burns
about seven tons of coal a day and it
would have been impossible to stop
every four or five days for a fresh
supply of coal, the decks were piled
high with fuel and even the stateroomS
on the lower deck were converted for
the cruise into temporary bunkers. The
Aquilo left New York January Z and
burned 400 tons of coal during the
voyage.
Captain H. H. Williams brought the
yacht around from Atlantic to Pacific.
With him was Captain Albert Barron,
who was selected to make the cruise
because of his experience with little
ships on long voyages gained when ne
brought q fleet of lighthouse tenders
out to this coast few years ago
Captain Williams is well known here,
having formerly been master of the
American Hawaiian steamer Oregonian.
Captain Barron was in the employ OF
the same line, master of the Calltor-
nian Mrs. Williams. wife of the cap
tain, was a passenger on the Aquilo
The Aquilo had three crews since
leaving New York. The first crew left
at ST Thomas and the men shipped In
their places quit at Montevideo. where
another crew was shipped. There was
no trouble with the men except that
the size of the vessel did not inspire
them with confidence in its ability to
weather heavy gales.
The yacht called and coaled at Nor
folk, st. Thomas, Barbados, Bahia,
Montevideo, Punta Arenas, Valparaiso,
Callao Acapulco and San Diego. The
only real bad weather of the cruise
was encountered after passing Cape
San Lucas on this coast Those who
made the voyage on the Aquilo credit
the yacht with being a first class sea
boat.
The Aquilo can make about 141a
knots. On the trip from New York it
averaged about II Y knots on a daily
coal consumption of seven tons.

TRAINED fLfAS SLIP
THEIR SILVER YOKfS
Kansas Fruitman Declares Prof.
Fricke's Troupe a Menace
to the State

Professor Fricke, the flea trainer, is
going up and down the coast distribu-
ting those f1eas of his. and if this eli
mate is suitable for their propagation
the coast will be afflicted terribly with
them" L. w. Yaggy, a fruit farmer of
Hutchison, Kan, who is a guest at the
Fairmont declared yesterday.
Yaggy stated that he had read the
story of Professor Fricke's feas in The
Call yesterday morning and was par
ticularly interested in the outcome of
the war against the fleaman and his
f1eas which is being made by the state
board of health, as it was he who had
reported the danger of the f1eas to Doc
tor Snow, secretary of the state board
of health, and Fred Maskew, assistant
superintendent of state insecticide
work. e
show in Los Angeles" continued
Yaggy. and during the short time [
was watching the show two of the fleas
escaped. 1t is not true that he always
keeps his f1eas chained. While he may
have his trained and performing feas
fastened with wire collars, he had hun
dreds of them that were not chained at
all. That man is going up and down
the coast distributing his fleas and he
is a great menace to California and the
Pacific slope.
Il would say that the f1eas he has are
not German f1eas. They are Asiatic
f1eas and are much larger than the
common f1eas and are much more
vicious. They live for seven or eight
years, while the common flea lives only
three weeks. That fact alone would
make the flea far more dangerous to
the state, as the reproduction of the
species would be fast and frequent.
''It is not an idle fear which has led
me to protest to the state board of
health against this man Fricke being
allowed to show his feas. l went up
to Sacramento last Saturday to warn
the state board of the real danger.
''If any number of these fleas es
capped and became acclimated there is
no limit to the harm they can do to
the state. / have many hundred acres
in apples and grapes in Kansas, and
in connection with my fruit raising 1
have studied the insect problems. In
that way ! become familiar with the
types of f1eaS of which the ASiatic is
the most dangerous.
The harm which these feas will do
is real and the danger must not be
minimized.
Professor F'ricke is still a champion
of his pets and still insisted that none
of his choice troupe of performers es-
cape from the wire harness he has
devised for them. He is now training
a fresh lot of the critters for exhibition
purposes at San Jose and plans to give
a particularly fine entertainment at the
Panama Pacific fair. He is training a
special troupe of feas to show in 1915
The 1910 crop will have reached it's
maturity about that tiine-if X w
Yaggy and the state board of health
do not see them first.
