At the present five trans-continen-

have been projected. "Airways' are
main trunk lines; "air routes" connect
main arteries.
The New York-Chicago route is the
first long leg OF the Woodrow Wilson
Airway which connects New York and
San Francisco. This airway covers
a zone so miles in width, touching
the most important cities in New

AS air travel is essentially naviga-

Weather and Crop
Conditions For Week
Ending Tuesday, July l6

1t was somewhat cooler. but the
! mean temperature was above nor
NAL, with day temperatures ranging
from 95 degrees to los degrees at
beginning and close OF the week.
Moderate to heavy rains fell in the
northern counties at the close of
the week. Scattered showers oc-
CURED in the central and southern
portions, but the rainfall was too
light to be of material benefit.
Weather conditions were unfavor-
able for all crops and the drought
has become serious, except over
relatively small areas that were IA
vored with heavy local showers.
The corn crop deteriorated dur
ing the week and is needing rain
badly in practically all sections
Late corn is beginning to silk and
tassel in the north and west por-
tions and has been seriously dam
aged by drouht and heat, and much
of it is injured beyond recovery. In
some sections, however, there is .
prospect of fair TO good crop, if
rain comes within a few days. and
conditions are favorable thereafter.
While cotton would be benefited
by rain, the crop, as whole, has
not been damaged and is still in
good condition and very promising.
In the exceptionally dry sections,
especially in the southwestern por~
ton, the plants have made slow
growth and are shedding to some
extent. A few boil weeyil are re-
ported in scattered localities in the
southeastern portion. Sorghum
grains and broomcorn are holding
up we'll but are showing the ef
fects of insufficient moisture Pea
nuts and sweet potatoes are mostly
in fair to good condition. Pastures
are mostly dry and truck crops are
failing. Threshing of wheat and
oats progressed satisfactorily under
favorable conditions.
