TRAVEL THROUGH THE AIR.

1t may not come in my day, but the
time is surely coming when passengers
can travel short, maybe long, distances
by aerial navigation. The everyday
use of aeroplanes in the present Euro
pean war will bring to somebody's in
ventive capacity a successful plan for
air travel, disconnected from war and
bomb throwing.
With high pressure automobiles peo-
pie can nearly fly over the earth right
now, and numbers went across the con-
tinent in auto cars during the year
1915.
But the auto wheels still run along
on the ground to make a start and
there is some friction necessarily and
danger.
When the air travel is well arranged
for then there will be no friction un-
less the elements are in state of dis
turbance. The air car will fly like a
bird, there Will be no limit to desired
speed, and the only hindrance now is
the apparent necessity for mounting up
so high that it makes ones head swim
and possibly seasick.
This country is spending millions of
money, much of it tax money, to con-
struct roads on which automobiles and
heavy loaded wagons can travel with
speed and safety.
Just about the time everything is in
shipshape and pronounced perfect there
will come along the air cars that need
no roads to move upon; all they will
need is a garage to start from, and one
to light down upon at the end of the
trip. 1t takes no prophets vision to
see what's coming on this line. 1t is
far easier to foretell this thing than
the wireless operations on the ocean.
and trackless wastes. Some day you
will sail in ether much easier than you
could sail now on water.

be is not comparable to the ravages OF
typhus fever in Mexico, in full blast
right now There are counted thirty
thousand cases of typhus fever in Next
co City, at this time.
After war, pillage, plumber, bloody
murder and diabolical cruelty, something
will come along that will make disease
as dreadful a thing as destruction and
war, and it rs the deadly typhus which
is convulsing Mexico. Poor old Mexico!
1t is said that the louise, that filthy
old bandit, is the typhus conveyor in
Mexico. Where the old fashioned louise
inhabits there is a community which
wallows in filth. Head lice. body lice
and all sorts of lice have their habitat
in personal and domestic uncleanliness
and the result is the terrible typhus
fever-which terminates easily in dis
eased systems, along with filth that al
lows the louise to breed on human bodies.
Scientists have discovered that yellow
fever was carried by mosquitoes, and
common house flies have carried conta-
gion. They have convicted the louise
with typhus fever.
To go back to the epidemic of grip,
it is automatically stated that the germs
of grip are disseminated by sneezing

quantity. If you sit near grip vic

speaking of course especially of winter
oats. Fallowing the land for a month
or two is very good practice but may not
be practicable under the conditions
which are likely to give the best re-
suits to the land owner in this section.
We would not care to have land exposed
to the direct rays of the sun from May
TO October. We are satisfied that COW
ering it up with cowpeas or other le-
yumes is a better practice.
Spring oats can be cultivated in Geor-
gia with some success but they do not
yield anything like so well as the winter
oats. The reason for this is not hard to
understand. When planted in the spring
a hot dry spell shortly comes on before
the crop is sufficiently advanced to in
sure it's heading out properly. This
condition may of course affect a fall
sown crop but nothing like SO seriously
as the spring seeded crop.
1t is not necessarily true that Georgia
lands are thin and poor because they
will not produce spring oats. Climatic
conditions are such that winter oats
can be grown successfully under prop
err management On the other hand,
spring oats are a doubtful proposition.
