No other person who sails the
clouds has attracted more notice
and interest than Ruth Law, who
will be the amusement headliner
at the Ohio State Fair in Columbus
during the last five days of August.
She is to make two flights daily,
afternoon and night. The ascents
will be launched in front of the
grandstand, and at night Miss Laws
flying machine will be Illuminated.
The effect on spectators as they
watch the machine looping -the-loop,
turning somersaults and doing
"death-drops" is startling in the ex-
treme.
Although defying eternity in many
ways in these exhibition flights, it is
nothing more than sport for Miss
Law, she says: 81 have never been
afraid of the air." her story goes,
though l have had some very mar
row escapes from death. l have been
flying since July, 1912, and have ap-
peared in nearly every large city of
the United States. Next to flying,
l love animals, particularly dogs and
horses. Flying is not all pleasure.
Like all professions, one must work
hard to succeed. It's as necessary to
know your aeroplane and to be as
familiar with your motor as you are
with your mirror and powder puff"
Miss Law believes that flying was

Cultlvating Alfalfa In
creases Hay Crop.

Cultivating alfalfa fields i'm
inediately after a crop has been
harvested will result in a larger
hay crop in dry seasons. Weeds
will be exterminated with little
or no injury to the alfalfa.
Being deep rooted, alfalfa will
stand cultivation that uproots its
competitors. 1t must not be cul-
tivated until a year or two old,
and will not be benefited by har-
rowing in wet seasons.
Yields of alfalfa hay were in
creased a third of a ton to the
acre by narrowing, in tests COW

or prospect is reported at 120 per
cent, compared with an average.
An increase of eleven points
since report of one month ago.
Only fourteen counties in the
state report prospects at less
than 100 per cent. The north
west section reports 1z8 per cent,
the southwest 121, the northeast
118, and the southeast LOT per
cent. AS stated in previous re-
ports. the area seeded was far
below an average, but with the
promising prospect now report
ed, the average yield per acre
should be so heavy as tc bring
the total production we'll up to or
better than an average crop.
Ohlo's heaviest wheat crop for
past ten years was in, 1915 when
on l, 1888, ,642 acres there was pro-
duced 35,624, 381 bushels. The
estimated area seeded for this
years harvest is 1,570,643 acres,
which, according to reports re-
ceived, should produce approx
mately %, 271. STA bushels.
From personal observation and
interviews with people interest
ed in agriculture and who travel
over the state pretty thoroughly,
| am inclined to believe that the
average yield for the state will
reach or exceed 20 bushels per
acre. which would bring the to-
tai production for the state up to
81, ,412,86 bushels, thereby ex-
ceeding the ten-year average by
about 1000, 900 bushels.
Rainfalis have been heavy and
frequent during the past month,
hence threshing has been retard-
ed to some extent, but where
completed, heavy yields per acre
are reported, and the quality of
the grain is generally good.
There is some complaint Of wheat
sprouting in the shock, also some
rust and smut reported. The
harvest is from two to three
weeks late.
Oats cutting just begun, and
the crop promises a most abund-
ant yield per acre, prospects be-
ing reported at 119 per cent, COM
pared with an average, an in
crease of eleven points since re-
port of one month ago. The es-
timated area seeded for harvest
of 1917 is l, 584, 459 acres, which
should produce approximately
IS, ,O4O, 452 bushels. This is a.
bout 10000, 1000 bushels greater
than a ten-y average yield.
Corn doing fine the past two
weeks of warm weather and is
reported at 92 per cent, compar-
ed with an average.
The prosE ect of potatoes is re-
ported at 10 per cent, compared
with an average, which is an in.
crease of twelve points since the
last report. The area planted
for 1917 is 97,O15 acres, which
should produce approximately
1915, 426 bushels, and will about
equal a ten-year average.
