CHAPTER v.

THE spring and summer-in fact.
the whole year was a very
busy u for Sam. And il was
not less so for Florence aud
Mrs. Powell. Florence often helped
her brother when the work crowded.
and Mrs. Powell put in all her spare
time in the garden. melon patch and
orchard.
On the contest acre Sam was forced
to do all the work himself. The rules
were strict on this point. and after
Sans patch had beer laid of and
measured by a committee he himself
planted the corn and no one else struck
a Hex in It's cultivation.
Sans first planting was the Irish
potatoes. He bedded up an acre,
dragged down the beds almost fat and
planted them early in March. Next
came the contest acre. and when that
was finished he planted four more
acres in corn, making five in all. then
turned to the cotton.
Next came the cane. and sam sOwed
this broadcast and very thick, for be
wanted to make hay of it. II the
stalks grow large and stiff 1t doesn't
make good hay.
The young farmer wound up the first
round of planting by sowing the or
chard in rye. His idea was to let nc
bit Of ground lie idle. but to keep some
thing growing on it instead OF weeds.
The weed problem was a pretty hard
one for Sam. so many had gone to seed
on the place. But be determined thai
not n should make seed this year
So he was the busiest farmer in the
whole community. He plOwed and
hoed constantly. but it was mostly
blowing, for Sam soon learned that
hoeing is a mighty slow way to Kill
weeds and grass compared with pillow
ing.
People passing along by the Powell
place marveled at the clean. we'll cul

cred other needs of the crops beside.

Sam made use Of what be had learn
ed in planting and cultvatlng his
crops. He watched them closely, and
if it seemed to him that any Of them
were not doing well he began to hunt
aud study out the cause.
Although he had fortified all Of the
farm TO some extent before blowing,
be worked manure into the burrows
when he planted his cotton and tried
to give everything he planted the food
ii demanded to do its best. He found
out that one good way to apply this
food was to sprinkle it on the surface
Of the ground around the plants and
work it in gently with hoe or rake.
Sam made "a top application Of this
kind to his cotton when it was well
advanced in the summer The soil Of
the contest acre mad been well fertile

elements il needed to make two big.
long ears to each stalk and sometimes
three. He waited until it was just
about ready to silk; her he went to
town and bought 400 pounds Of fer
ulizer. He had this mixed to suit him
self. for he had figured out just what
be thought the corn needed-sO much
nitrogen and so much phOsphOric acid
With this fertilizer he went over each
row Of the acre. sprinkled 1t around
the stalks and worked 1t into the soil.
Fine as the corn was before, it now

a few days it was in full silk. and It
seemed to leap up on receiving the
stimulating food around its roots. But
Sam wasn't through with the acre yet
Every now and then be went over It
with a pillow. just skimming the ur-
fece to break up the crust that com
menced to form One month II was
unusually dry. and the young farmer
had a chance to see the good effect Of
this work. His corn kept its dark
green color, and by scratching down
two inches, just underneath the dust
mulch. he found that the soil was per
fectly wet.
Fagan's corn across the fence was
burning and willing in the sun. Sam
climbed over the fence one day and
examined the soil He found it baked
hard on top. and when he took his
knife and dug a little hole be had tc

the slightest moisture.
That shows what conserving the
moisture will do he said to himself
as he went back to his field. i've

Rev. Payne Visits Aviation Ps-id

Rev. f. Payne, pastor OF the Bap-
tbs, church, arrived home last Sat-
urday from a short visit to his old
home In Litchfield. Ill. While away
he also made brief sojourns in ST.
Louis and Chicago and also visited
the aviation field near Champaign.
III. where over 1000 men are in
camp. Concerning his visit to the
aviation fields Rev. Payne says:
THE two aviation fields OF MI
nois are points Of more than unus-
ual interest at present. One OF these
fields is at Rantoul which is some
IL miles north OF Champaign. The
other. which has just started oper-
ations is at Belleville. some thirty
miles south east from st. Louis. Mo.
The field at Rantoul attracts people
from Chicago and the northern part
OF the state. Some days there are
as many as 500 automobiles all load
ed down with people to watch the
flying machines.
THE men who make the aviation
corps have TO 20 through some very
severe tests, both mentally and ply
sically. A squadron consists OF $50
men and on an average there are
only twelve men out OF the squad
ron who qualify that make the corps.
The machines they use in learning
to fly are nearly all Of the Curtis
type. These machines, however. are
not like the ones that are used in
war The war machines are larger
and more powerful.
ut Is very interesting to watch
the machines ascending and descend
ing. A machine has to make a speed
OF forty-five miles an hour before II
leaves the ground. While in the air
they make from seventy TO ninety
miles an hour. The motors vary
somewhat In power. but most of
them are from 100 to 200 horse
power. These motors make n ter
rifle noise and can be heard thougt
the machine be ever so high In the
air
While at the field at Rantoui we
saw one OF the machines fall from

q distance OF some 1900 to 1000 fest.
The machine was badly wrecked and
both men seriously hurt. though one
seemed to be bruised up much worss
than the other. We were among
the very first to arrive where the
machine fell. which was some two
miles from the field. and rendered
what. aid we could TO the injured
men. The machine fluttered around
little as II fell which helped to
break the fall. otherwise the men
could never have escaped with their
lives. Both men were experienced
aviators. II was claimed that they
got into what Is known to aviators
as an "air pocket" and they could
not right the machine.
