NJ ASHINGTON.-Foreign govern
W ments have had their military
and naval representatives in Wash
ington watching the experiments that
this government has been conducting
at the Washington navy yard with
the new catapult device for launching
aeroplanes. The launching machine
is the design Of Capt. w. I. Cham
bers. in charge OF aviation in the
navy. 1t practically is a compressed
cir gun that shoots the aeroplane into
the air so that it can be launched
from a warship at any time and the
catapult then stored below, out Of the
way.
Several tests Of the device have
been made. various hydro-aeroplanes
being used. What was generally con-
sidered the supreme test was made
the other day when the new aero
boat that has been built for the navy
by Glenn Curtiss was shot into the
air for a successful flight with Lieut..
Theodore Ellyson, the first Of the
navy aviators, at the helm.
The new boat is larger and heavier
than any other hydro-aeroplane the
government has used. 1t has a body
like a light, fast powerboat. and seats

Jackson.-The extent of the agricul-
tural evolution brought about by the in
va,ion of the boil weevil is s%trikingly
illustrated by a compilation of figures
showing receipts of wagon cotton at
sixty ~intrior market points in the terri
tory contiguous to Jackson, as compared
with receipts for former years.
During the season now drawing to a
close, the receipts of wagon cotton
amounted to only 81, 60t bales, as COM
pared with 130,s92 bales in 1911, 21G,922
bales in 1910, 249,4s0 bales in 1909, and
1921, 1856 bales in 1908.
These figures cover the period since
the boil weevil first invaded Mississippi,
and furnish a fair illustration of what
cotton growers may expect in other
states where the pest has commenced its
ravages.

and no long hauls to town are neces-
sary. II a farmer can feed his 60-ce't
corr to good hogs which will pay him
80 cents for 1t, does he not make sn
advance on the price of his corn ard
a profit in the fertility returned to tie
soil, as well as a saving Of expense in
hauling? Breeding pure-bred live
stock is a business which should be
entered gradually and retired froarn
reluctantly. Improving the common
stock a little each year will lead up to
the pure-bred business. There cali
exist no permanent system Of agri-

BEULAH LEvEE GIVES WAY

Beulah.-Due, it is said, to q section
of the new levee around the Beulah
crevasse of last spring not having been
completed, and water in its rise overtop-
ping Beulah Lake, a surging torrent from
the Mississippi river broke through the
uncompleted levee and quickly swept
aside the emergency work and soon II
rapidly growing sheet of water started
across the lowlands surrounding.
Negligence on the part of some one in
authority in not having the entire loop
around the old crevasse at least halfway
completed in charged by officials in Jack
son, Greenville and Vicksburg, and an in
vestigation will be started.
As the big head of water will in a
measure be stemmed by the banks Of
Beulah Lake, no such inundution as that
of last spring is anticipated.
No lives have been reported lost, as
citizens of the country around, both
black and white, had been notified of the
approaching danger and were in a meas
ure prepared for it..
Owing to the fact that the stage of
the river is much lower than it was last
year the territory inundated will be
much smaller, including Bogue Phalia
Basin and a portion of the Sunfower
River Valley south of the Southrn Rail
way. About 100000 acres, or about 12
per cent of the Mississippi levee district

to turn half around without moving

FUNCTIONS OF TILE DRAINS
Farmer Cannot Afford to Wait on Ma
ture and Must Provide Artificial
Means Of Drainage.

Drainage is the limiting factor on
many farms where the hand OF man
has not assisted nature in the re-
moval Of free soil water, says Farm
Press. Nature has furnished us with
a surface drainage system in our
rivers, creeks and rivulets. In some
places she has provided subter-
ranean drainage in sand and gravel
subsoil.
If allowed TO take its time, the
water would fellow small passage
ways TO some natural outlet. but the
agriculturist cannot wait. Where the
soil is underlaid with a heavy clay,
hardpan. sand or limestone rock, it Is
necessary for man to assist nature.
He resorts to digging a trench from
two and one-half to three feet in
depth. above the impervious stratum,
and place therein a tile drain. This
tile rapidly carries away the free wa
ter that rises to or above the stratum
of hard clay or rock.
The function OF the drain is not SO
much to remove water as it passes
downward as it is to carry it away as
is rises to the tile level, A good
crop is dependent upon a large root
system. Since the root system of the
plant will not develop in free soil
water, the shallow laying of the drain
tile means a small crop. Deep laying
of the tile provides a large feeding
area for the roots of a big crop. Deep
drainage and frequent shallow cultiva'
ton smile at droughts.

MAY NOT MAKE A CROP.
Looks Like al Impossibility to Repair
the Crevasse at Beulah.

According to engineers who have Wis.,
of the crevasse at Beulah, which is now
inundating thousands of acres of the
most fertile lands in the delta, is the
improbability of getting the gap closed
prior to the second flood stage of tho
year, which may be expected from sixty
to ninety days hence.
These engineers say that, with the
river certain to rise steadily during the
current week, no human power can pre-
vent a steady widening of the crevasse;
that the ends of the levee cannot be
successfully tied, owing to the large
amount of fresh earth recently placef
