Secure Best Results.
In windbreak planting the best re-
suits usually are secured when the
shortest trees are placed on the side
facing the wind, so that sloping face
is presented and the air currents are
DETECTED upward, These short trees
should have lOw-branching habits and
dense foliage, in order that they may
offer as much hindrance to the pas
sage of air currents close to the
ground as is possible. The Russian
olive is probably the best for this.

DEFECTS SPELL
DEATH IN FLYING

New YOrk.-ConSiderable concern
has been expressed at the large num-
Der of fatal accidents reported from
our American military and naval avia-
ton training camps. Considering the
risks the novice necessarily takes and
the very special physiological and psy-
Geological factors that enter into the
science Of flying, these fatal accidents
are few in proportion to the number
Of men undergoing training, and they
are not more numerous than those on
the training fields Of Great Britain
France and Italy.
A perfect knowledge of all the rules
of the game of flying will not save a
man who lacks confidence in himself
and is inclined to hesitate 4 half
second of indeciSion may be fatal. In
itiative, the sporting instinct and II
certain irresponSibility, qualities in
herent in American youth, have been
found of far greater value in the air
than the logical, scientific, severely
disciplined character of the Germans
and account for the superiority of the
allied aviatOrS in general.
The most eminent of British Scien-
lists have devoted special study to the
psychological and physiological as
poets of flying.

Surgical Operations No Bar.
In the British air service previous
history of wounds and disease is thor

aches, vertigo and easily induced ia

times even a serious surgical opera

Community action in combating the
cabbage worm is desirable wherever
cabbage and related crops are grown
extensively. Agreements should be
entered by the truckers of the commu-
nifty for each to spray throughout the
season and to carefully clean the fields
of the bulk of the old stalks as soon as
the crop is harvested. A few stalks
should be left at regular intervals as
traps on which the last generation Of
female butterflies will deposit eggs.
Such stalks should be poisoned freely
with arSenicals so that the worms of
the last generation will not develop.

Every commercial breeder, ev-

these aims steadily in view:
l. Keep better poultry. Stand

quality and increases production.
2. Select healthy, vigorous
breeders to produce strong

3. Hatch early to produce fall

4. Preserve eggs when cheap

8. Produce infertile eggs, ex-
