The multiplicity of flying devices
leads inevitably to discussion as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of establishing rules foi
regulating aerial navigation. One
genius has suggested that certain
strata be designated as routes for GER
tain classes of airships, though jIst
how these routes are to be marked or
"buoyed" is not explained. But a com,
plication difficult of adjustment may
arise if the contention of some lawyers
is correct. This is that under the COM
mon law, which comes from England
and in turn was based on the old Ro-
man code, property holder owns the
air above his head, with no limit to
height. This, in English-speaking
countries, at least, would make tres
passer of any aviator who flies above
another's land, and if identified and
caught the flying man could be pun
ished accordingly. All these things
are conjectures. of course. Still, it is
evident that If travel by the air route
shall ever become general there will
be many novel points to be considered.

RESTORING FARM LAND.

The world will not soon starve. The
fertility of the soil is increasing and
There Is no such thing as the exhaus-
ton of land. The chief of the bureau
OF soils Of the department of agricul-
ture recently wrote pamphlet or bull
letin which gives negation to the
croaks of soil pessimists, says Wash
ington Star. The productiveness Of
land In the United States is increasing.
The average wheat yield per acre in
this country is two bushels greater
than it was 40 years ago, though the
corn yield per acre is slightly lower.
Ignorant or careless tillage has de-
spoiled much American land of its
fertility. New England has a vast
acreage of abandoned FARMS" though
the acreage is not so large as it was
a few years ago. This result is due
both to improvement of cultural meth
DDS and to the high price of farm prod
uce. Around Washington, particularly
southwark, is big area of wornout
land given over to old fields, pines,
scrub pine and brush. This was
brought about by indefensible methods
OF husban6ry. This land can be re-
stored. Goodly patches have been
made fertile. The restoration of land
requires some capital 1t costs money
to treas 1t with commercial fertilizer
1t also costs money to restore it by
the legume route. Glover seed is not
cheap. and 1t takes time to get stand
OF clover when the start is made on
poor land. A farmer whose bank bal
ance is not big (and there are such
despite current reports), who has
fields of poor land, faces quite prob
lem in bringing up this land to a high
degree of fertility. 1t can be done. but
there are difficulties to overcome.
