GREAT CHECK TO AVIATION
Flying In America Is injured by sensa.
tional Experiments That Often
Are Disastrous.

Aviation has been very slow in TAX.

For this undeniable state OF affairs
there Is reason. and the fancy and
exhibition flights Of American aviators.

large part OF the burden. Aeroplanes
will never become popular for general
pleasure travel until It has been DEM

with comparative safety.
Far from advancing the cause Of
aviation. as has been often stated by
those unfamiliar with the situation.

Aviation as popular means OF
amusement seems now to he a GER

flying only tends to hold back this
final contamination. In time this
handicap can be overcome, because
the demand for exhibition work is
growing less and less all the time. and
the circus" type OF operator will be
forced to turn to more lucrative fields
for exploitation.
Already, however. sensible aviators
realize in what direction the real fu-

doing their best to impress the fact on
the more reckless and less intelligent
Of their brethren.
Today We have machines which are
suitable for aerial travel In this "oun.

be operated without undue risk be
proved, and there will be no lack Of
men to man them.-Boston Transcript

portant step before planting. There
is no one thing which will do so much
to increase the yield as in being abso-
lutely sure that the seed planted Is
sound and possesses the vitality to
terminate a strong, healthy plant.
After the corn is tested. all mixed
kernels should be removed, and then
the tips and butts should be shelled
off, in order to give uniform size to all
the corn that goes into the planter.
The planter should be tested and the
proper place made for each grade.
After the planter is tested and 1t Is
known what grades are needed, the
seeds should be shelled, put into sacks
and labeled. All this work should be
done before the rush OF spring work
begins.
The grading of the seed is essential.
because 1t enables the farmer to drop
exactly the right number Of kernels IN
each hill, by adjusting the plates OF
his planter to fit the different grades.
In no other way can perfect stand
be obtained than by the most careful
seed selection, testing and grading.
How often do we find in single
hill two or three different grades Of
corn? A good ear, perhaps, then q
nubbin, and next medium ear.

In color, but entirely protein and oil.
2 The farmer who starts in to breed
his own seed should have the seed
plot entirely separate from other corn.
This should be placed in a corner OF
the field at least 40 rods from any
other corn, and II 1t could be surround.
ed with grass instead OF other grain,
SO much the better.
The preparation Of the ground is, OF
course, very important, and 1t must
be put in the very best possible condi-
ton. It means deep blowing. thorough
manuring and filming before planting.
It has beep found that very small
increases come from the use Of COM
mercial fertilizers. particularly in the
great corn growing sections, and moth
ing has been found better for this pur-
pose than stable manure. In certain
sections where lime must be used, 1t
should be applied in connection with a
liberal use Of stable manure, but lime
should never be used for corn except
when it is positively known that the
soil is in need Of 1t.
All clay soil should be plowed in
the fall, in order that the frosts Of
winter may break up the hard ground
and make It more easily worked in the
spring.
Early blowing in the spring tends
to conserve the soil moisture. both by
preventing evaporation and increasing
