New York. Feb 2S.-Glenn II. Cur.
tiss. whose recent feats with his
hydroplsne on San Diego bay, Call
fornia. have created worldwide inter
est. is going to provide a new and
striking argument in favor of the re-
opening OF the neglected waterways
OF the cJdntry. He believes that
aeropianes capable OF landing on and
rising from the water will be the
flying machines OF the future, and
that waterways will be the logical
routes for aerial traffic.
This week the Curtiss Aeroplane
company will supply the waterways
association at Washington with the
ItdsO IL IOT OuIllsb NOUCluslOHh "
lay before the members OF the water
ways commission. Mr.. Curtiss con
tends that II is as much the duty OF
an enlightened government to spend
money OH "aeroplsne ways as to
authorize the expenditure Of hun
dreds OF thousands OF dollars for the
Improvement of the roads, as has
been done since the advent OF the
automobile.
II Is not Mr.. Curtiss' idea that the
canals should be reopened for the ex.
elusive use OF aviators. The aero
plane flying 500 or 1900 feet above
the water would not interfere In any
way with navigation. The aviator In
his long cross-country trips would
only use the water when he wanted
to como down for gasoline or put up
for the night.
II Curtiss Is correct In his ideas
about the future OF aviation, the
time is not far distant perhaps.
when hangers and aeroplane repair
stations will be as familiar along the
banks OF canals as the little houses
OF the lockkeepers.

/ Governor Vests special session
idea has gone glimmering, just as ev-
erybody expected it would, in the first
place. The objections to the plan
were so emphatic from the members,
and from the people at large, that
the Governor decided that he would
make himself very much unpopular to
call it. There are those who believe
that the Governor was never really in
earnest in this matter, but merely
grabbed an opportunity for a little
more free advertising. In his first
declaration, stating that an extra ses-
sion might be called, he imposed con-
ditions which, while appealing to the
taxpayers would, of course, not prove
popular with the members of the leg
islature. Reference is made to the
Governor idea that members should
attend at their own expense. West
probably knew, when he put TINS pro-
viso into the scheme, that it wouldn't
be accepted, and he could thus pose as
willing to do the right thing for the
state, but the "grasping and penuri-
GUS" lawmakers wouldn't agree with
him and would be found unwilling to
donate their time and their money in
attending a special session of the leg
islature to make good roads laws for
the auto owners. Well, good enough.
We can get along without special
session and the decision that one will
not be called finds a sigh of relief is
suing from the people of the state.
The assembling of state legislature
is serious matter at any time and
an extra SESSION is more so.

THE VALUABLE TURNIP.
Worth Growing If Only For Its Effect
IN Dairv Cows.

Worth Growing if Only For Its Effect
on Dairy Cows.
While the real food value of turnips
is considered somewhat low. they are
wonderful appetizers, especially for
dairy cows, not only tOning up their
systems, but increasing the flow Of
milk.
Then there are several tempting
dishes for the table that can be formed
from turnips, and by storing a goodly
supply of them for winter their use
will save considerable Of the higher
priced products, both around the feed
stalls and table.
Turnips for winter storage should
not be sown till In July, from the 10th
to the Goth, or even a few days later
will not be too late. Where they are
sown earlier than this the hot weather
causes them to become strong and
pithy, but If sown as above stated
they mature when the weather is cool
er, which greatly enhances their flavor,
gives them a firm, solid flesh and adds
to their keeping qualities.
A rich. sandy loan or fresh sod
soil is best adapted to turnip raising
and they may be sown either broad
cast or drilled. If sown broadcast 1t
may be done just before shower, and
there will then be no necessity for
covering the seed, as the raindrops
will do the work better, light cover
ing being all that is required. If the
seeds are drilled one can arrange so
the plants may be cultivated by hand,
the rows being placed about eighteen
inches apart. Put in plenty of seed
at the time of drilling and thin out the
plants when they come up till they
are from three to four inches apart,
thus giving them ample room to grow.
