MANY AVIATORS
ARE SEEN DAILY
BIRDMEN FROM PAYNE FIELD
ALMOST CONSTANTLY FLY
ING OVER COLUMBUS.

Embryonic aviators in training at
Payne Field, near West Point, are
beginning to fly around the country
in large numbers, and the sight of
an airman here has become SO COM
mon that it has ceased to be nov
city. The birdmen still attract
some attention, however, from
youngsters who delight to see them
perform fancy stunts and who are
continually on the lookout for some
thing new in this line.
While landings have been estat
lished in a number of towns ant
cities in the territory contiguous tt
West Point none has yet been estab
lished here. Columbus sent com
mittee to West Point several weeks
ago to confer with Col. Hurd, tn
commander Of Payne Field, in re
gard to establishing a local landing
and Col. Hurd later sent officer
here to make an investigation. Sew
eral tentative sites were visited, ant
the officers stated that they woul'
submit report to the commando
and would advise the local committe
regarding his decision in the matter
but nothing has ever been hear
from him.

MAKE APPEARANCE ON BIC
NUMBER OF NEARBY
PLANTATIONS
lNJURINC PLANTS
With Dry Weather, However,
Damage to Crop May Not be
Very Great.

Following the rains which have
fallen in this section during the paA
few weeks, boil weevis have appear
ed and are reported to be damaging
cotton on plantations in several diff.
ferent neighborhoods in the territory
contiguous to Columbus
The infested area seems to be con-
fined to the eastern portion Of the
county, and the pests have not as yet
appeared in the prairie section west
Of the Tombigbee river. This is
probably attributable to the fact that
the amount of cotton planted in this
section is comparatively small, the
prairie farmers devoting their atten-
ton largely to the raising of cattle
and to the cultivation Of alfalfa and
other legumes.
The appearance Of the boil
weevils was not surprise, as yet
weather is conducive to their propa-
CATION, and farmers have been look
ing for them ever since the frequent
showers which this section has ex-
perienced during the past few weeks
began to deeend. The coming Of
the pests, however, IL a source Of keen
regret, for up to the time of their ap-
pearance cotton was looking fine and
prospects for a bumper crop were ex-
cellent
n is impossIbfe al the present time
to estimate the amount OF damage
that the boil weevils may be expected
to do, as this depends largely upon
the character of the weather exper-
fenced between now and the time the
crop reaches maturity. II the
weather is dry the damage from the
weevils will probably be comparative
ly slight, but if rain falls at frequent
intervals the prospective yield will un-
doubtedly be materially decreased.
Farmers will not only hope for the
best, but will doubtless cultivate
their fields with renewed vigor, as
one of the best ways to circumvnt the
pests is to push the crop to early ma
turity
