RocKAWAY TO KEY WEST.
Wonderful Flight Of Navy pirisible
Balloon.

The big navy dirigible, C-1, which
recently sailed from Rockaway to Key
West, covered the 1000 miles in twen-
ty-nine and one half hours actual time
in the air. according to its command
er Capt. Stanley v. Parker, who re-
ported at Washington last Monday.
He came back on train, which re-
quired sixty hours.
The average speed on the trip south
was about forty miles an hour. Capt
Parker said by reducing this, nonstop,
long distance flights can be made un-
der favorable weather conditions. The
crew consisted Of seven men. in ad-
dition to the commander there were
Lieutenant Lawrence, Ensign Packard,
Ensign Hanson, Gunner Medusky, Me-
chanician Ritter and Quartermaster
DuBon.
An altitude of 800 feet was main
tanned throughout the first leg of the
voyage. The distance from Trenton
to Philadelphia was covered in thirty
minutes and from Baltimore to Wash
ington in forty-five minutes. The first
stop was made at Hampton Roads,
where the dirigible was gassed and
oil and gasoline taken on. The Sec
ond stop was made at Georgetown,
8. C.
"As there was no one in the town
familiar with dirigibles," the report
says, ut was necessary to explain what
was wanted. This was accomplished
by dropping a number Of miniature
parachutes which had been previously
made for the trip with messages ask
ing the townspeople to go to a certain
field, catch our drag rope and haul Il
down. AS Is was noon hour a large
number Of people were leaving the
mills. Two attempts at landing were
made, the first being unsuccessful on
account Of the dirigible circling. The
second attempt was completely sue
cessful, q perfectly normal landing
being made in spite Of the difficulty OF
directing the dirigible. About 200
townspeople caught the drag rope
and hauled 1t down."
The next landing was made at the
Brunswick, Ca, Naval station, after
which the ship proceeded on her last
lap to Key West. Heavy gusts were
encountered on the last lap, and the
vessel rose to an altitude Of $500 feet
where a brisk favorable breeze per-
mitted her to make excellent time.

We're fought no battle hard and hot
In No Mans Land a. dark;
The nearest to the front we got
Is Chickamauga Park.
We did not have chance to fight
And make our records famous.
Too soon the Huns were put to flight,
I hope you do not blame US.
The time of peace has come about,
But still in camp they hold US;
God only knows when we'll get out
And he has never told US.
It may not be that they will leave us here,
Perhaps they will forget us.
But we should worry, weep or fear.
The prospect does not fret Us,
We've all the grub that we can chew.
And lots of time to chew it:
And nothing in the world to do.
And all the day to do it.
Each day brings forth great strings Of new
From our Latrine Gazette,
You may believe them if you choose.
They're all the news you'll get;
Perhaps we'll all come marching home,
Perhaps we'll go to Russia,
France and Belgium, we may even roam
To Palestine or to Prussia;
Although we have not fought,
We are soldiers of Uncle Sam;
So send US home or to Berlin.
We do not give a damn.

FERTILIZER FACTS.
Clemson Expert Gives Some Statis-
tics on Values.

tics on Values.
With labor scarce and high priced,
one logical thing to do in good farm
practice this year Is to increase the use
of fertilizers so that by more liberal
|applications-weA -can -yet aiaf9e' -yfefds
Nth given limited acreage and la
Dor supply. Preparation and cultiva-
ton cost as much in labor and 9TH
erwise for small yields as for larger.
Therefore, the wise farmer will figure
lot on how little but on how much
fertilizer he can use to advantage in
very crop he grows.
The price Of acid-phosphate Is to-
ay practically twice as great as 1t
vas in 1914; yet 1t is relatively cheap
er now than in 1914, as has been shown
oy some experiments at certain south
ern experiment stations. The same Is
true of other elements of fertility
nitrogen of potash. This is due, of
curse, to the fact that the increase
IN prices obtained for cotton and other
produce are relatively greater than the
increased cost Of ertilizers will leave
greater profit after subtracting the
cost Of the fertilizer than in 1914.
For example, experiments with corn
how that 600 pounds of fertilizer, al
1 cost $3.50 in 1914, showed a gain of
81 bushels per acre, which at Is cents
,er bushel gave s26.52, or $500 net
after subtracting $3.50 for fertilizer.
now, the same increase for the same
amount of fertilizer costing in 1918
vice as much (s15) would give $62.9O,
with corn at $1.S5, leaving S47.90 net
profit. This is two and a half times
great net profit from given amount
Of fertilizer in 1918 as in 1914.
Similar experiments with cotton on
a basis Of 500 pounds Of fertilizer
showed a net profit of s34.04 in 1917
md $SSS6 in 1918. So with tobacco
on a basis of 1000 pounds Of fertilizer,
The net gains being sS3.SS in 1914 and
IS1.15 in 1918. II. B. Bryan.

Cooper Calls Convention Governor
Cooper has called for the holding OF .
convention of the cotton growing states
in New Orleans next Tuesday. The
call has been sent out to the governors
of the different states, and It reads
as follows:
Under present conditions and such
as are likely to obtain in the future the
farmers Of the cotton states can not
produce cotton as cheaply az hereto
fore. The time has come when cotton
must be produced only to meet re-
quirements of consumption. to the end
that we may always have a ready and
waiting market The farmers OF my
state are of the opinion that the acre
age of the 1919 crop should not ex-
ceed 25.000,000 acres. They wish to
join with representatives from other
cotton states In creating movement
to bring about acreage reduction and
secure better price for cotton now
on hand. This Ii one Of the most Inn
portant questions before the people OF
the south and requires prompt and
united action on the part Of the cotton
growing states It is sincerely hoped
that each Of the cotton states win join
in this movement whole heartedly. ]
therefore have decided to ask the gov
ernor Of each cotton state to appoint
two delegates, one farmer and one
banker, with alternates, from each
cotton growing congressional district
to attend meeting at New Orleans.
La, February 4, to formulate and
adopt a prac sal plan suitable to all
the states, and that will bring salts
factory adjustment Of present condi-
tions. May I ask that you appoint
delegates from your state and notify
me Of your action"

ADVICE TO COTTON GROWERS
Agricultural Department Recommends
Adjustment of Acreage.


Farmers of the south were ADVISED
in a statement issued by the depart
ment of agriculture Sunday that II
would be wise to adjust cotton acreage
this year so as to have available sur
ficient land to produce enough food
and feed for their families and live
stock.
IF industrial conditions in all the
cotton consuming countries do not
reach normal, and If the industry Is
not restored the consumption of cot
ton will be substantially less than
pre-war acreage requirements: SAID
the statement. with practically com
plete restoration cotton consumption
may well be expected to equal the
normal or pre-war times on account
of the present shortage of cotton goods
in various countries. The economies
which the people Of Europe must prac-
tice for some years to come must be
considered"
Average requirements outside the
United States were given as 100000
bales, domestic requirements $780,
600 bales. The American 1918 crop is
estimated at 100000 bales. After
domestic consumption requirements
are taken care Of there will be an ex-
portable surplus of 100000 bales

The experiments in San Francisco
which were carried out under the di-
'rection Of Surgeon G. w. Mccoy OF
the public health service, and LIEUT.
De Wayne Richey Of the United States
navy at the Angel Island quarantine
station, were very similar in method
and in result. The men who volun.
teered. for these experiments had been
vaccinated with Pfeiffers influenza
bacilli and pneumonia germs. II, as
European reports would indicate, in
fiuenza is caused by an ultra micro
scopic germ, such vaccination would
be without protection to those so vac
cinated. None of these men had been
exposed to the influenza epidemic.
In this experiment there was no di-
rect exposure to patients, but the ad-
ditional methods of infection were
tried Of injecting the blood Of an in
f1uenza patient into that Of volun-
teer, and Of introducing the pure cul-
lures of influenza bacilli into a vol
unteer's eye. No one of these men de-
veloped influenza
The result Of this experiment have
left the medical world completely be-
wildered.
The theory which has apparently
been upset by these experiments was
originated by a famous French physi-
clan Nicolle, who claimed to have pro-
duced influenza with q material OBJ
tanned from mucus excretions. He
produced the disease, with this ma
terial after filtering It through fine
porcelain filter, showing that>a germ
was present which was not only toe
small to be detected with the micro
scope, but too small even to be held
back by the fine pores Of unslazed
norce'ain. Foster, an American army
surgeon, showed that common colds
were produced by equally minute
germs. The work Of Foster bore sc
directly on the problems presented by
influenza that 1t may be said to have
led to the experiments there described
The only thing which can be consider
ed proved about influenza 80 far is
that it is still a mystery both as to the
nature of its causative germ and as
TO its means Of transmission, and
therefore especially dangerous. Au-
thorities, however, still consider in
fiuenza a crowd disease, and all un-
necessary gathering Of people should
be discouraged when influenza Is prev
alent.
