CELEBRATED NovELisT's
PREDICTION ABOUT FLYING

In the December American Maya
zine, II. G.. Wells, the famous En-.
glish novelist writes an article en-
titled my First Flight" which Is q
description of his first experience In
flying machine. He made a trip In
waterplane with Mr.. Grahame
White. Following is an extract:
And so 1t was that | went up in
to the air at Eastbourne with the
impression that flying was still an
uncomfortable, experimental, and
slightly heroic thing to do, and came
down to the cheerful gathering crowd
upon the sands again with the knowl-
edge that it is thing achieved for
everyone. 1t will get much cheaper
no doubt, and much swifter, and be
improved in dozen ways,-we must
get self starting engines, for exam
pie, for both our aeroplanes and mo-
tor cars,-but 1t is available today
for anyone who can reach 1t. An in
valid lady of seventy could have en-
joyed all that / did II only one could
have got her into the passengers
seat. Getting there was little diff
ficult, 1t is true; the waterplane was
out in the surf, and I was carried to
II on boatman's back, and then had
to Chamber carefully through the
wires, but that is a matter Of detail.
This flying is indeed SO certain
to become a general experience that
am sure that this description will
in a few years seem almost as quaint
as II had set myself to record the
fears and sensations Of my First
Ride in a Wheeled Vehicle. And I
suspect that learning to control a
Farman waterplane now is probab-
ly not much more difficult than, let
us say twice the difficulty in learn
ing the control and management Of
a motor bicycle. cannot understand
the sort Off young man who won't
learn how to do it IL he gets half
a chance.
''The development of these water
planes is an important step towards
the huge and swarming populariza-
ton of flying which is now certain
ly imminent. We ancient survivors
of those who believed in and wrote
about flying before there was any
flying, used to make great fuss
about the dangers and difficulties of
and getting up. We wrote
with vast gravity about starting
rails and landing stages, and il is
still true that landing an aeroplane
except upon well known and quite
level eXpanse is risky and uncom-
Portable business. But getting up and
landing upon fairly smooth water
Is easier than getting into bed. This
alone is likely to determine the aero
plane routes along the line of the
worlds coast lines and lake groups
and waterways.
THE airmen will go to and fro ov-
er water as the midges do. Wherev.
er there is square mile of water
he waterplanes will come and go |
ike hornets at the mouth OF their
nest. But there are much stronger |
reasons than this convenience for
keeping over water, Over water the
mir, it seems lies in great level ex-
Danses; even when there are gales
It moves in great uniform masses, |
like the swift still rush of a deep
river. The airman, in Mr.. Grahame
Whites phrase can go to sleep on
It."

CORN COB ROT.

The corn cob rot is a fungous dis,
ease which is spreading very rapidly
over several states and has gained a
strong hold In several sections Of West
Virginia. The disease works on the
cob, causing It to fall apart into sew.
eral divisions when little pressure is
exerted on the ear. AS all fungous
diseases, 1t is easily and rapidly
spread, and great precautions should
be taken to avert 1t. The spores OF
this fungous disease survive in the
soil over winter, and corn planted in
the same field another year may be
affected by the disease. 1t may be car.
rled to other fields by planting corn
which came from section where the
disease was prevalent. would ad.
wise farmers of this state to avoid
planting corn on fields where the dis
ease was present last year, and also
not TO send away for seed corn which
by chance might have come from a
field where the disease existed.
II is absolutely necessary that strict
precautions be taken to check the
spread of this disease, which is con.
sldered to be q serious menace to the
corn crop. l. S. COOK, JR.,
