regain my confidence and composure
but an occasional dip or 'bank"
when the machine would be on its
side in a turn) opened up another
think or so. You can not speak to
the Pilot, nor he to you, but if he
had ever turned around and asked
me if | had had enough and if /
would like to go down, I am quite
sure that those on the ground some
1900 feet below could have heard
me yell back my answer, 81 DOR
and sure did. The sight below is
beautiful; the green and plowed fields
standing out so prominently in their
varied colors; while we were low it
was easy TO distinguish the different
buildings, churches, school, etc, but
it seemed that no matter which way
/ looked old Machpelah was always
right below me. You could see the
buggies and the machines for miles
around on the roads stop, the oc-
cupants get out and gaze up at yon,
the people and vehicles looking hike
dolls and doll furniture. l thought !
of the boys "over there" who are so
anxious to get home but am quite !
sure when we did the dips and banks
that there is not one who was \
more anxious to get back to L. S.
soil than /. Someone has said that
Mr.. Woodford, who owns the Geld
from which we started, gets $3.50 an
acre for rent of this ground for to-
bacco land. l know one man who, il
he had had the $500 Saturday, would
have given that price for--not an
acre but a couple of feet of this
soil to stand on. 1t. Skow, how
ever, was most careful and pains
taking and showed that he knew his
business and really did give me
most delightful ride The fact
though that my curiosity has been
satisfied and | have had the expert
ence l think satisfies me and al
though / may never get so high
again, either in this life or the next
one, l am glad to have had the fight
and to know that l have been higher
than a good many of our citizens
ever will be; it is most fascinating
and although one realizes that he
takes his life in his hands, or rath-
er places his life in the hands of
the Pilot, l feel, and which can best
be understood by those familiar with
Ben Kings IF l should die tonight
that
''If you should fly tonight,
Asking me to go up-as l now
feel
In a perfect tremble from head to
heel;
l say, if you should fly tonight;
And you would come to me and
there and then
Just even hint how I'd like to as
cend,
l might hesitate while
Then, like damn fool, go up
again"
Really, it's, worth the price You
pay by fear-the FIRST ride-but I'm
satisfied now to drive a Ford.
Additionally yours,
II. G. HOFFMAN.
p. S.:-Geo. Eastin also took this
ride and says that he would like to
go again. He SAYS he would.
Don't any of you who are thinking
of taking such trip take his state
ment too seriously; he's not only
the Coroner of Montgomery county,
but an Undertaken, and therefore
has Fan axe ito grind" It's all
"bull" his going up again; he lodges
now when he hears the motor of an

Welcoming Jersey Sires

most constructive step in the devel- orment of Alabama dairy interests was celebrated when the dairymen of Macon and Lee counties met at Notasulga. on June 2i, to celebrate the purchase of four pure-bred Jersey bulls by the Macon-Le Jersey Bull association. The four animals shipped by express from the famous Brookwood farms of Barrvville, N. Y, were on exhibition in front of the bank building and for several hours command ed the attention, interest and criticism Of the hundred or more farmers from the adjacent territory who had come in to see the result of their purchase.
 The four bulls will be located at Au- burn, Loachapoka. Nota sulga and Salem Church communities, each one remain ing for two years before being shifted to the next block At the end of the eieht-year period, with proper treatment and care, it is expected that their de- velopment will largely have increased their value when they may be sold at profit. and replaced by others.
 The association spread an informal pie nic lunch in empty store at Notasulga, after which the meeting was called to or der by pr. C. A. Cary of Auburn, and informal talks were made by ]. P Quin- erly, dairy extension agent; c. s. Tenn pleton, animal husbandman; w., H. Taton. assistant extension dairyman; R. E. Bragg, manager Auburn creamery, and A. B. Hope, president of the First Bank of Notasulga. After the meeting the board of directors of the association keld a short meeting in the bank and photographs were taken of the crowd and of the bulls which had just been pur- chased The opinion was frequently ex- pressed by all that Tuesday, June 24, will be remembered as most important day in the history of the dairy movement in Alabama.
 The dairymen of Macon and Lee, in breeding up their herds along the best Jer- sey lines, propose to take advantage not only of the increasing demand for good grade cows now coming in from France, but also to avail themselves of the more permanent trade, through southern ports from South America.

Canning Club Girls Meet

The state meeting at Montevallo of the prize winning girls of the Alabama Girls club work of the extension service proved a most interesting occasion. There were present S6 of the club girls and 2 home demonstration agents from over the state In addition there were the leaders of the club movement from Auburn, L.. N Duncan. superintendent of the junior and home economies; Miss Mary Femi- near, state agent; Agnes Hit, Louise Thomas, Helen Johnson and Gladys Tap pan, assistant state agents.
 The meeting was held at MonteVallo m co-operation with the Alabama Girls Technical institute. which furnished the laboratory facilities, the dormitory rooms and some of the speakers during the week.
 One of the outstanding events of the week was a series of demonstrations on the home care of the sick by Miss Lily Robinson, registered nurse from the A. C. T. l. at Montevallo Miss Robinson used one of the canning club girls in natural demonstration of giving bath and changing the bed linen without in any way discommoding the patient. The instructions imparted in these demonstra- tions were both practical and valuable,
 Another notable feature was the lunch con prepared and served to ID guests ny IA of the older girls in the club work. Everything on the table was prepared, cooked and served by the canning club girls, and it was the universal opinlon that no one has ever been served with a better meal.
 All through the week there were val uable demonstrations given in canning cooking, sewing and poultry raising. Am ple time was given for a programme ol recrea ton, consisting of games ana pa. tronage of the swimming pool. It proved a most interesting and delightful occasion to all who attended.

Busting Cotton for Weevil

Prof. J. M. Robinson of the department of entomology is making a trip through the southern part of the state beginning at Henry and Houston counties and con- tinuing to Covington, Escambia and probably Hale counties, to determine the extent of boil weevil infestation and to locate suitable fields for experimental and demonstrational work in dusting cot ton for bo.l weevil control
 The application of arsenical poisons to cotton was one of the earliest methods tested out of controlling weevil infesta- ticn. For several years the United States boil weevil laboratory at Tullulah, La, has been conducting investigations along this line and a report has just been is- sued frankly stating that the whole sub- ject is still so largely an experimental matter that TO definite recommendations can be given whereby the average cot ton farmers may be assured profitable
 results.
 The department of entomology of tho
 Alabama experiment station conducted
 tests upon IS plots in 1918, but not a single
 one yielded profitable result. This re-
 suit was evidently due in large measure to the very effective natural contnol of weevil multiplication due to several weeks of hot dry weather occurring during
 June and July, 1918. From the results thus far obtained in Alabama the gen eral conclunsion is reached that at this time dusting cannot be recommended for general use. The expense of this treat ment of from s7 to s10 per acre in all probability cannot be justified except un- der conditions of extremely heavy boil weevil infestation and on cotton land that will produce normally at least one-tnlro bale per acre. It is doubtful if dusting will ever prove profitable upon the av- craze field producing little more than a | fourth bale of cotton per acre. | The Alabama experiment station,
 tl rough the department of entomology, | is planning to continue it's investigations | through the coming season, but it is un- fortunate that the resources of the ex-
 pertinent station do not permit this to be ! done as extensively and quickly as the in- | terests of the cotton farmer demand at | this time.

Coosa's Hog Sale Day

On Tuesday, June 10, Coosa county held a hog sale at Goodwater, on the Central of Georgia railway, which was very suc- cessful The tops in a shipment of l34 hogs brought s17 10 per hundred pounds net to the farmers, f. O. b., being bought by a local buyer.
 For any who were dissatisfied with that price the purchaser agreed to give the full value obtained from consigning to the rearest wholesale market less expenses. Only one shipper availed himself of the Ia tier offer.
 The grading of this sale was done by M. H. Pearson of the marketing division, while the details of the sale were handled by Farm Demonstration Agents w. D. Colley of Alexander City and F. M. White of Ashland Clay county.
 It is gratifying to know that out of the 134 hogs shipped, only l4 were classed as light, showing that the farmers of that section are properly fitting out their hogs before attempting to market them.

Rye Acreage Increasing

More acres and more bushels of rye were harvested in 1918 than in any pre- vious year in the history of the United States
 From 1S49 to 1909 rye production in the United States was practically stationary. From 1909 to 1918 the production was all most tripled the greatest increase com ing in 1917 and 1918.
 Five years ago there was approximate ly one acre of rye for each 21 acres of wheat in the United States. In 1908 there was approximately one acre of rye for each 10 acres of wheat.
 The 1918 rye crop was more than 76.- 000,00O bushels
 The world production of rye amounts to about one and two-thirds billion bush els, somewhat less than half the an nual wheat production.
 The United States Department of Az riculture thinks it probable, now that farmers are becoming familiar with the CT ,p and its advantages. that rye will have permanently larger place in Amer ican agriculture. and that from an agri- cultural point of view there should be further considerable increase in pro duction.

Live stock markets of the United States are more completely organized, more efficiently conducted, and better protected against loss to the producer than almost any other class of markets for farm products. However, like all other large enterprises, the live stock markets and meat packing centers have created problems of supervision or reg ulation because of their extensive ram iications and their direct influence upon the affairs of every producer and user of meats and the long list of animal byproducts.
 As a consequence of these conditions and in view of the war needs for meat and other animal products, the govern ment found it necessary, about a year ago, to conserve the meat supply for the war period by exercising the war power conferred upon the President by the food control act, and to place the live stock markets under supervision. pro clamation to that effect was issued by the President June IS, 1918, which pro- vided that public stock yards and those handling or dealing in live stock in such yards should be required to oper- ate under federal license on and after July 25, 1918. The administration of this service was placed under the Secretary of Agriculture. who designated the bu- reau of markets to enforce the regula- tions governing licenses.
 SUGGESTIONS USED
 Before the formal issuance of the reg ulations tentative draft was sent to all interested parties with request for suggestions. Numerous conferences were held with each branch of the industry including representatives of the national and local live stock exchanges As a result many practical and useful sug- gestions were receivel and incorporated in the final draft of the regulations. At that time the bureau of markets was represented in most of the large live stock markets by it's market reporting organization and these representatives were at once instructed to perform ad- ditional duties as acting market super visors. As rapidly as competent candi- dates could be found they were appoint ed and assigned to duty in the various live stock markets, extending from Bos- ton to Portland and from Jacksonville l to Los Angeles, including up to the pres | ent time some 30 offices One hundred and twenty -one firms, 7S5 traders, 107 or der buyers, 231 packer buyers and 1Ool | concerns doing two or more classes o1 business have been licensed.

Cantaloupe Root Rot

Tn the Imperial valley of southern Cali fornia there are between 14,S00 and 16,OO acres of cantaloupes which, during the current year, will suffer crop loss Of at least per cent through root knoc General alarm exists throughout the en- tire valley among the ranchers and snip pers concerning the depreda tions or the nematodes responsible for root knot one 30-acre field has suffered loss of from 3O to 35 per cent, the current crop beng the first on that field. Another l5-acre field, which has been in alfalfa TOT elgnr years and is now planted to cantaioupes, will have loss of at least 40 per cent The root knot is playing no favorites, as it is developing on old land, new land which has been in alfalfa from three 10 eight years, as well as on old sod iano-
 The symptoms of root knot are sud- den willing of the vines before picklng, in some cases, and sudden W1ltlns soon after the first picking in others. The cantaloupe industry is growing, as ap- proximately $500 cars will be marketed this year. an increase of almost 1000 cars over the output of 1918. Consequently tne growers are extremely anxious 10 contIol M all cantaloupe diseases which threaten their incomes.
 A form of blight in the second setting of cantaloupes has also developed in the Inonerial valley This blight consists of the yellowing, browning, spottlng ana whitening of the melon soon after settlng' when the fruit is about two inches Tn di- ameter. The trouble is general and uni versally reduces the yield, while experts believe that it might possibly affect ma tired fruit of the crown setting. Lab cratory investigations are being con- ducted by the United States Departmene of Horticulture with the hope of lsolat- ing and controlling organisms Wnicn cause the disease.
