ATWOOD MAKES
FLIGHT OYER CITY

ever. It was all plain sailing, and At
wood was bold enough to fly clean across
the Potomac in the direction of Fort
Myer. When he came back he scared
above the White House for little while,
then "scooted off, to the southwest, 60
ing to the north of the Monument. he
slowly curved around over the Capitol
dome, and then turned of in the direction
of College Park. When directly above
Pennsylvania avenue, he executed an
other volplaning exploit, and thousands
on the streets and on the housetops
thought he was making forced landing.
However. Atwood got back to College
Park with the same even good fortune
as that which had attended his coming.
He spent nearly half hour in the Monu-
ment grounds, and his trip to and from
the army aerodrome rounded out, prac-
tically, an hour. He left College Park
at $40 o'clock and returned at 7:5o. AL
though he was travelling at rate Of
speed between Forty and fifty miles an
hour. he did not make airline trips to and
from the city. and made no attempts at
speed records.
Rush to the Monument.
Although the flight to the city last
night was heraided. there was practi-
cally no crowd on hand to greet At
wood when he arrived at the Monument.
So skeptical had the city become over
the question of flying that hardly any one
took the announcement seriously. The
result was that when he was sighted
on the horizon crowds began fiocking to
the Monument, but more than ten min
utes passed before there were 1000 per-
sons on the spot, although automobiles
were plentiful
There was no tumultuous greeting In
store for him. Apparently, only one
thought animated the crowd. Come
on DOWN. It shouted again and again,
and manifested It's disappointment in no
uncertain tone when the Bostonian
"feinted" three or four times and
SKINNED the earth without touching It.
Atwood automobiled into town directly
after the flight and went down to the
Union Station to greet his mother. Mrs.
Sarah F. Atwood. who came from Bos-
ton to be present at the White House
ceremony this afternoon.
Kissed by Mother.
She kissed him rapturously on both
cheeks when he informed her Of the
flight, called him good boy" and de-
clared that the presentation Of the gold
medal by President Taft TO her son would
be the proudest moment Of her life.

TO MEMBERS OF THE CENTRAL OF
GEORGIA RAILWAY
Boys Corn Clubs in Ga.

Now that your school duties are over
and you have more time todeyote to your
prize acre of corn, ] wish to say few
words TO you on the subject
! assume, in the first place, that YOU
are exerting every effort not only to win
the $500 county prize, but that you are
also working to win the $25o.00 mule,
which goes to the boy whomakes the best
showing, under the rules, in all OF the 81
counties that the Central OF Ga. Railway
runs through in Georgia,
This contest offers you great oppor-
tunity, II is not only possible for you
to win a substantial reward, but your
success win be a source of pride to your
parents, friends and neighbors, II you
win strictly apply yourself to this work
and follow the instructions that have been
given you for the care OF your crop, it
viii be sure to serve you in future years
and entitle you to respect as successful
farmer, Even il you should fail on ac-
count ofisoil or local conditions, to win
either OF these prizes, the corn that you
win produce ON this acre Of land will
amply repay you for your trouble and
labor, and you will have valuable know
ledge to guide you in the future IN the
cultivation Of larger crops.
Iwant to emphasize some oftae instruc-
tons that you now have, particularly the
importance Of frequent shallow cu!tiya-
ton. cali your attention to the fact
that the prize winners in Is States last
year cultivated their corn more than six
times, while Jerry Moore, the South
Carolina boy who had the distinction Of
making the largest crop OF any Of the
boys in the Southern States, cultivated
his crop ii times. This cultivation should
be made at least every 10 days, parti-
cularly after rains. You will get the best
results if you keep the surface soil well
stirred, so as to hold the moisture,
The object of cultivation after rains is
to avoid the forming of a hard crust, and
to prevent the natural moisture from es-
Gaping in dry weather when il is needed
to feed the plant. DO not cultivate too

inches, you are likely to cut the tiny roots
lying near tie surface and cut off a part
of the food supply Of the plant If the
roots are close to the surface, one inch is
deep enough to cultivate. The use OF the
harrow, the cultiyator, or the sweep is
advised for cultivation purposes. Flat or
heels sweeps are much better than long
sharp pointed scooters.

izing your crop since it came up. When
the ears begin to set, all stalks that are
weak or diseased should be cut out. They

State at large, that the average yield OF
all farm crops should lie increased, The
significance Of the situation is better UNI
derstood when you consider that you are

What you are accomplishing in asmall
