Six Hours in Air With Fourteen
Passengers Riznati's Feat:
Norfolk, Va, Sept 14.-Capt. Riz
natl, of the italian army, one OF the
flying corps sent to America to hell
qualify men as a,viatt,otrs, yesterday
took up fourteen passengers In a
powerful Capronicar, breaking a
worlds record. He circled the Vir.
ginia peninsula, flew far into the
country over Hampton Roads, ana
went almost as far as Cape Henry
over the water before he came baci;
to earth.
He assembled at 1880 yesterday af-
tcrnoon and, dispite a northeast
blow, drove his machine at terrific
speed for an endurance run Of four
hours over land and water.
He assembled to a height of over
5000 feet, dropped down to half
that height and scared up again to
a few feet below 1000.
He was still in the air when dark
ness covered the earth and was hid
den from view Of hundreds Of Off
GERS and civilians who waited for
his return.
There was some anxiety for his
safety when he failed to return by
o'clock yesterday afternoon. When
darkness came, and still he did not
appear, there was talk of starting
search for him. Long before nc
landed. the noise made by the big
machine was heard and the walters

almost on the same spot where ne
left the earth at $50 yesterday
evening.
Maj. Lopez, chief Of TIC fy;ng
CORDS, sent over here from Italy, was
IN in car similar to the one IN
which Capt. Riznati made his re-
rlarkable flight. He carried II pas
sancers and flew far out over the
water and miles inland. Northeast
storm warnings were flying when
Loncz and Riznati were IN th3 air,
scac ding craft held to harbor, but
the powerful Italian aircraft apPa-
rertly were proof against the wind
and sailed as gracefully as bird.
The distance covered by Capt. Rlz-
natl yesterday was greater, army
officers said, than from Norfolk 20
New York. Maj. Lopez will attempt
to ny to New York with y passea-
gers in one of the CapronicarS, PROB
ably on Saturday. Officials decline"
to say what time he would start, o.
where he would land when ne reacn-
ed the metropolis. They intlmatcd
that he mightnot- land at all, as tieT
wanted to make a round trip WITHIN
a day.

FARM BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

The question of increased agricul-
tural production in U. S. A. resolves it.
self largely into a problem of inten-
sive farming, or a larger acreage. 1t
used to be that the opening up of new
lands cared for increased production,
hundreds Of thousands of acres of vir-
gin soil being put under cultivation ev-
cry year. But with the passing of the
old frontier, with its new lands and
high promises, that time is gone.
Some farmers are now farming in a
haphazard way. They are working
hard, but hard work will not do it all.
Many of them could accomplish better
results with less work if there were
more planning, more study of the con-
ditions and needs of the soil, the stock
and the growing crops-in a word,
more efficient business management.
