Aerial Mall Service.

It is appropriate that the first Of
flcial aerial mail service should start
from Paris; for Paris was the scene
of the early unofficial attempts to car
ry letters through the air. During
the siege of Paris In 1870 the mail
bags were successfully carried by
balloon from the city to Tours and
Metz, so successfully. in fact. that we
ourselves made postal experiments
with balloons at the Crystal Palace
in the same year. Twenty years be-

A PART from the bewildering world
"A of gowns in the loosely hanging
styles, with voluminous and envelop-
ing draperies and all sorts of eccen-
tricities of construction, the tailor
made survives. Well-set-up gowns for
the promenade are to be seen on the
best dressed women, bearing little i'm
print land sometimes none at ALL Of
the vogue of the sloppy styles" Some
of the refreshingly neat looking suits
are severely plain, but the majority
embody skirt in which there is a lit
tie drapery and a charming coat or
jacket. with an easy set to the figure.
The American woman is independ-
ent enough to continue to wear an un-
draped skirt and plain coat II it suits
her style best. A plentiful sprinkling
of them appears in any concourse of
fashionable people. But the most sue
cessful and pleasing suits are those
in which the style features of the pre-
vailing mode have made themselves
felt to the extent of doing away with
severe lines.
Such a suit is pictured here on the
smartly gowned lady dressed for
promenade. 1t is of brocaded eponge.
in dark paprika shade. worn with
small black hat and an unspotted er-
mine muff. There is a border of er-
mine on the collar In passing, one
should note that touch of fur in the
costume. used as a trimming, worn
with muff to match. is Just about the
latest and most successful of fashions
fancies. At the New York horse show
there was a liberal sprinkling of
gowns in which this combination
proved itself most effective In one
instance a costume of sage green satin
and chiffon had ahawl collar of spot
ted ermine, with muff to match The
hat was an Oriental turban of black
velvet. Over the gown an enveloping
coat concealed the ermine collar en-
tirely when the wearer took her pretty
and richly clad, petite body homeward.
The advantage in this management
Of furs lies in having the gown har-
monize with the muff, rather than the

Of the government and interested
capital the raising of sugar beets can
be made one OF our leading Industries.
Another feature which has received
scant attention up to the present time
IS the production OF beet seed on a
commercial basis The great bulk OF
the seed furnished the beet growers in
this country is imported from Europe.
Several Of the larger companies en-
gagged in beet sugar manufacturing
have experimental with a view Of
meeting the seed requirements by
means Of domestic production, thereby
adding to our agricultural resources.
PeeOs Valley Climate Favorable.
That the climatic conditions in the
PecOs valley are favorable for the
production Of the best beets on an ex-
tensive scale is evident from the fact
that the United States Sugar and Land
company. one of the largest companies
identified with the industry. stands
willing to establish a factory at Ar
tesla provided the results of the pres
ent test are satisfactory, and the beets
show the necessary sugar content
With a fertile and prolific soil en-
HANGED by an abundance Of artesian
water, there is no reason why the IN
dustry cannot be established in this

The future growth Of Artesia and the
progress Of the whole valley depends
almost entirely upon the development
OF the agricultural resources, and that
can only be brought about by intensive
cultivation and diversified farming.

UNDERGROUND SILOS
FOR THE CATTLE

Amarillo, Texas, May AFTER gath
erlng statistics covering several states,
by personal visitation and inspection,
H. NJ Banner, agricultural demOnstratOr
Tor the Santa Fe system, has deter
mined that the silO is destined to reyO-
luuOnlZe the entire agricultural scheme
Of the great plains country Of northwest
Texas, northwest Oklahoma and eastern
New Mexico. As q step preliminary to
launching a general sllO building cam
pa1gn, Mr. Banner IS issuing from his
office IN Amarillo today the following
article:
That the underground siIo is the
plant for the farmer and stockman OF
limited means, there cannot be the least
question 1t can be constructed very
cheaply, cOnServatiVely estimated, be-
ueVe, at 81 per ton capacity. 1t may
ness, that 1t does not blow down or dry
apart, and can be constructed by the
farmer himself. Expensive machinery
Is not needed in filling the underground
silO.
This underground siIo is especially
Wen suited TO dry sections, but II is
not such a success In wet ground, or
Mhere the water is near the surface.
The walls should be even and perpen-
dlcular, the depth about twice the d.
dmeter, and the size of the hole in pro-
portion to the herd TO be fed
"A hole that is 16 feet in diameter
and b feet deep will hold 100 tons of
SllaSe which is sufficient to feed from
20 TO 30 cows for six months.
The earth wall of the successful un-
derground silo should be covered with
cement If the earth wall stands well,
without danger OF cdving, a One-half to
Jhree-quarter inch covering of rich ce-
ment plaster on the dirt viii be found
sufficient = there is danger of the
well cavlng u not standing well. the
cement should be from two to three
inches thick. In the construction of
this latter or thicker cement covering
a wooden or metal form is required TO
mold the plaster in place until it sets
1 ms form need not be over three feet
nlgh, which requires that the wall be
constructed in sections of three feet
each- Under this method the bottom
section is made first, and then the form
IS moved up three feet. and so on, until
the top shall be reached.
IN order to save necessity for scat
IoIdlnS for the thin or plastered wall,
the cement should be applied at the time
OF DIGGING the silO. beginning at the
Top and going downward as the exca-
Natlon progresses. Finally wash or
paint the wall with pure cement ana
water"

WEST TEXAS WILL
PLANT MORE COTTON
Much Progress Is Made in South Plains
Country in Cotton Culture;
Winter Mhent Good.


Austin. Tex, May 1.-PreparatiOns
are being made for greatly increasing
the cotton acreage in western Texas
where planting will not be finished IN
til along in May. Wonderful strides
Of agricultural development are being
made in the South Plains country.
where no cotton was grown until
about two years ago 1t promises TO
become one Of the principal crops OF
that region.
The fact that Texas produced last
year approximately 100000 bales Of
cotton, which was about 100000 bales
more than the outside estimate OF the
so called experts even along towards
the close Of the ginning season. is at
tributed to the wrong estimate which
was made Of the total acreage devoted
to the crop. According to official est:-
mates the acreage increase last year
was percent over the preceding
year, whereas. as a matter of fact, the
increase was near percent, as IS
shown by the enormous increase OF
the production over 1911 While it IS
not possible at this time to give an alb
sOlutely correct estimate of the acre
age increase over last year 1t will not
be putting it too high. II is believed, to
say that it viii be fully seven percent.
With a favorable growing season,
such as was had last year. the total
Texas yield this season should reach at
least 100000 bales, it is claimed
The Texas winter wheat crop is N
fine condition. So far no reports have
been received Of damage by insect
pests and it is thought the plants VIII
soon be out Of danger from injury
from this or other ordinary causes
The increase Of acreage in wheat is
said to be small
Another unusually large oat yield is
promised The crop is looking fine
except in a few sections where Try
weather interfered with its growth.

A RTESIA, n. NJ. May Since
~ the establishment Of the beet
sugar industry in this country,
the price Of sugar to the consumer has
been materially reduced, and it is one
Of the Few commodities which has not

called high cost Of living.
Beet culture has been developed so
extensively and is so closely associated
with the agricultural advancement Of
the nation that II would not be TO the
advantage Of the American consumer

would tend TO check the further de-
TeloDment Of an industry which has
proved such g. significant factor in our

Means Better Farming.
The cultivation Of sugar beets means
better farming. It means small tracts
under intensive cultivation. It is con-
ceded that agriculture, TO be perma-
nently successful must be diversified;
not only should crops Of different
character be grown in rotation, but
they should be supplemented by fertili-
zauOn- The sugar beet not only pO-
sesses IN itself, great value as an i'm
proven Of the soil and the creator ef
better methods Of soil culture but the
by-prOducts OF the plant resulting from
the manufacturing process furnish a
cheap and highly nutritious stock food.
The prevention Of soil exhaustion de-
mands that the essential fertilizing
elements be maintained, and the feed
ing Of stock in conjunction with the
growing Of crops must solve the prob
lem OF soil conservation in the south
west.
It is significant to note that in the
communities where beet sugar factories
have been established, the intellectual
and material conditions have greatly
improved Land values have more than
