Man and Flight.

Mathematicians have calculated that
man is too heavy ever to be sustained
in air by the power Of his own mus
cles. no matter how large the wings
are which he fastens to his body. The
weight limit Is probably approached
by the largest birds, such as the Aus.
tralian crane. which still flies. although
1t weighs about twenty pounds. The
ostrich long ago gave up all hope OF
winging It's way through the air. An
aeroplane can be built. say the experts,
which will sustain man and use but
three horsepower, but as the best ath.
letes can exert only maximum OF
about two horsepower for fifteen sec.
onds at a time he will always be de-
pendent on a machine.

COUNTY AGENTS
NOTES

Last week / spoke of the necessity
of beginning a general cleanup. I
wish to emphasize the Importance Of
this work now. It is impossible to
eradicate fruit pests unless the breed
ing places of those pests are destroy
ed. And. again, 1t is worth while II
for not other reason than improve
ment in the looks.
The law requires all prunings and
cuttings to be burned.
''It shall be unlawful for any per-
son, firm or corporation owning or
operating any nursery. fruit orchard
of any kind, hop yards. flower gar
dens, or ornamental trees to throw
any cuttings or prunings from any
fruit trees, nursery stock, orna-
mental trees. or hop vines into any
public road, highway, lane. field. or
other enclosure, or into any water
course of any kind: but shall destroy
such cuttings or prunings with FIRE
within thirty days from the time such
cuttings or prunings are made"
Since so much spraying is being
done this week. let me again remind
you of the necessity for thorough
spraying and SUFFICIENT pressure.
Cover everything thoroughly with
spray and use not less than 200
pounds pressure.
/ have been asked, "If I am going
to omit any spray. which one would
you advise to be omitted?" II you
are going to attempt to produce fruit
free from fungus, you can not, with
any degree of certainty, omit any Of
the sprays that are intended 10 con-
troll fungus. II you attempt to con-
troll fungus with less than four or
five times spraying. you may be dis
appointed with results.
! have had many favorable COM
ments on the County Agents Notes
during the past two weeks. These
are not written for praise or enter
tainment, but strictly for business,
and friendly adverse criticism will be
appreciated Just as much as praise.

SL|KGSbY HEIR
CASE REVERSED

London, Mar. 13.-Teddy Slingsby,
five-year-old American boy, today lost
his famous fight for the Slingsby mil
lions. Reversing o lower court. the
court OF appeals ruled he was not the
child OF Charles Henry
Reynard Slingsby and Mrs. Dorothy
Morgan Warner Slingsby. OF San
Francisco. Therefore, the child has
no right to fully inherit the Rev.
Charles Sllngsby's estate.
The so-called "Slingsby case" at
tracted widespread attention both In
Great Britain and America.
The lower court ruled In favor OF
Teddys claim to the estate on the
ground that he bore a close resem-
blance to Lieut.. Slingsby. and there
fore must be his son. A peculiarly
shaped ear and Jaw were the chief
points of resemblance noted.
The court OF appeals maintained
the lower tribunal laid too much
stress on this resemblance. allowing
1t to outweigh strong evidence tend
ing to prove Teddy was not Lieut..
Slingsby's son.

San Francisco, Mar 13.--The Brit
ish court decision, whereby Teddy
Slingsby loses his claim to the Sings
by millions, caused much comment
here today, where the famous case
practically originated.
The child's claim to the estate was
contested by brothers of Lieut..
Charles H.. r. Slingsby. The brothers
demanded that the Rev. Charles p.
Slingsby's wealth be given to them.
They asserted that the lieutenant and
his wife, Mrs. Dorothy Slingsby, had
no right to the property, because
Teddy was not their real offspring,
but changellng obtained from Santa
Rosa. Under the will, Lieut.. Slingsby
could not have the millions unless he
had child. The cash was bequeath-
ed to the child and not to the parents.
II there was no offspring. the other
brothers got the property.

THE ARTERIES OF INDUSTRY.
Three hundred acres have been
signed up for planting to sugar beets
In the Williams and Applegate valleys
above Provolt. This acreage win un-
doubtedly be increased before the
season is over. The land to be plant
ed at this distance from the factory.
and where the haul must be alto
gether by wagon or truck. will ne
cessarily be of the very best quality
for the production of beets. There
is no better soil in the west than that
In the district mentioned. A rea-
sonable estimate. therefore, would
place the tonnage Of beets to come
from the valleys above Provolt at
not less than $500 tons. For beets
coming from this excessive distance
the factory people have agreed to
absorb SO cents per ton upon the
haul. Just as they have agreed to alb
sorb all the rail haul for beets mar
keted at railroad points. To make it
profitable for the farmers at these
distant points to produce beets, they
must therefore reduce the expense
Of hauling to the lowest possible
figure. This means better roads.
Representatives OF q company that
contracts to haul by motor trucks
have already investigated the prob
lem. and are ready to contract for
hauling the beets from the loading
stations to be established, the con-
tract price to be most reasonable
providing the roads will permit the
hauling Of the maximum loads at the
maximum speed. The trucks which
It is proposed to use on this haul are
supposed to run at eight miles per
hour with maximum load Of nine
tons of beets in truck and trailer. and
the minimum figure which the own
ers propose is based upon the max
imum Of speed and tonnage. II the
roads are bad, the rate is increased,
for It is the farmer who always has
to adjust matters so that the other
fellow makes his required profit.
There are numerous culverts, uncov-
cred irrigation bitches. weak bridges,
ruts, ETC., in the road between Grants
Pass and Provolt that will have to
be fixed or the beet growers will pay
the penalty. The estimate given
above Of $500 tons Of beets is for
the district above Provolt alone.
From Provolt to Grants Pass there
will be a constantly increasing ton
mage. The saving Of % cents per
ton upon this haul would do lots OF
road repairing. But the repairing
will have to be done before the pro-
ducer can make the saving. Here is
something that every citizen is inter-
ested in. Let's back up the county
court in furthering needed road work.
The highways are our Industrial ar
teries, and unless traffic can flow
through them smoothly and rapidly,
industry is going to suffer.

APPALACHIAN HIGHWAY
MARKED FOR TOURISTS

When an automobilist sees sign
board, the upper part Of which is
painted red, the lower part white,
and a big letter "a" in the middle, he
may know that he is on the Appa-
lachian highway from Columbia to
Ashevflle by way of NeMberry, Union,
Glenn Springs, Spartanburg, Tryon
and Saluda.
The sign boards which now mark
this highway were put up last week
by Commissioner of Agriculture E. J.
Watson, who made the trip in his big
touring car from Columbia, accompa-
MED by Mrs. Watson.
The route of the Appalachian high
way into Union enters the city in
South Union, comes along Church
street, turning into Main street at the
Peoples Supply company, goes
through the heart of the business
section, and turns into North Pinck-
ney street at J. Cohens store, thence
out along the road by Buffalo to
Glenn Springs.
Commissioner Watson spent only
short time in the city, but saw few
persons, and seemed to be very much
pleased over the work that had been
done on the Appalachian highway in
Union county, from the NeWberry
county line to where the chain gang
is now engaged in road improvement.
Having sign boards along the entire
route will be of great convenience to
the hundreds of persons who will
probably traverse the Appalachian
highway during the summer months
as they go from the lower part Of
the State to the mountains of North
Carolina and other pleasure resorts.
The above is taken from the Union
Times. Mr.. Watson must have pas
sed iNewberry without letting anyone
know he was here. We did hot see
him and did not know he had been
through until we saw the red signs
along the highway. Fact is we did
not know what they meant when We

More Troops Cross Border.

San Antonio, Texas, June 16.-For
two hours today Major Alonzo Gray
secured a strip of country On the
Mexican side of the Rio Grande for
traces of the bandits who yesterday
raided his camp at San Ygnacio.
He crossed six miles below San
Ygnacia, with a part of the two
troops of the 14th cavalry that fought
off Luis de la Rosa's men Thursday
Most of the bandits are known to
have crossed into Mexico and Major
Gray had received information that
some of them were concentrating for
a second attack, No trace of the out
laws was found.
Three Mexicans alleged to have
participated in the raid were captur-
ed on the American side Of the river
during the day and the body of one OF
those killed in the fight recovered
bringing the total Mexican loss IN
dead to nine.
Reports from Laredo, where the
soldiers wounded in yesterdays
fight we're taken, stated that all OF
the wounded probably will recover
The country around an Ygnacio was
reported quiet today.
Three companies of coast artillery
now on their way here will be sent
to Laredo. One company of engineers
arrived today and will be held here
for the present
