looking for anything in general and
nothing in particular. I soon spot

jockeyed for position, both of US try

the sun.
Finally got under his tail. after
half an hour of maneuverinS this
way and that. and let him have it.
The gun fired two shots and jammed.
There was nothing to do but zoom
off home, which l did.
Next morning I went up at the
same hour over the same spot.
There was Heinie No. '16 escorted
by two German fighting planes. He
was higher than 1, but L was higher

whizzing by me.

Then we began playing around and
kept it up for three quarters of an
hour. each trying t. get bead on
the other. Finally I got in the blind
spot and started down on him. Again
my gun damned and of course he had
the edge on me.
Instead Of running, which would
have been more dangerous, since he

knew my gun wouldn't shoot. I want

was still in the light.
Enough for the Day.

more of maneuvering, he decided il

of us could get position. So he fired
two hots wild as a goodby, waved his
hand. and went home 1t was good
thing for me because my motor went
cuckoo a minute later and 1 struggled
home on a glide, barely making it over
the lines.

and my mechanics were beginning
to figure their eskimo wasn't coming
back, when 1 finally got in. travelling
most of the way in an ambulance.
Heinie Was Too High.
Next morning l had to borrow a
plane, since mine. wasn't repaired yet.
1 went out looking for Heinie num-

drouth and hot winds. The poorest
conditions exist in the southeast and
prior to the heat wave in August. the
corn was already beyond redemption.
Based upon a harvest acreage of
,730, 900, the average wheat yield is
placed at 1873 bushels per acre, which
will make an estimated aggregate
crop of 9e.s74.ooo. This figure is A.
204, 600 moro than the wheat crop last
year, and over 1000, 060 bushels more
than the estimate made in July. In
the southeastern half of the state the
quality of the wheat Is good with
weights running practically normal.
