This Is true in marked degree in

zone by aerial patrol was officially in
auguratedand has been in regular pro-
cess ever since. Two flights were made
later in January for the purpose of OBJ
tanning panoramic view of the terri
tory bordering the quarantine lines, to
note the character and extent of any
forests or wooded areas which might
act as a natural barrier to the spread
OF the pink bollworm by flight Of the
moth, as well as to secure some idea
Of the value of aerial observations in
connection with chronological scout
ing and mapping.
These flights were made at an altl-
tude of from 1900 to 1000 feet. At
this elevation on a clear day a dis
| tinct vision could be had OF the cOun-
try over a range of 80 miles, and cul-
tlvated fields, buildings, shell roads,
railway lines, creeks, and the charac-
ter of wooded areas, whether pine or
deciduous, could be easily distinguish
ed. At the normal speed of the air
planets miles an hour-the ground
moves so slowly that the observer has
time to get complete picture of the
area and easily to distinguish cotton
from corn fields.
Inspector Hensley is enthusiastic In
the belief that the airplane will tre-
mendously facilitate all such scouting
and reconnaissance work, including
mapping.
Similar use can be made of 1t in 9TH
err agricultural and forestry surveys,
which are analogous to the mapping
and survey use made Of IT for war pur-
poses.
The tests made last year followed
by the more important and systematic
utilization Of this new means Of sur
l.vey and inspection carried out this
year. marks probably the first use Of
the airplane in a practical way in ag-
riculture, and may be the starting OF
an important use Of this new means OF
transportation and observation for
scouting and inspection purposes in
other fields Of research or control
work.

The COW must be regarded as a sort
Of living machine. She takes the raw
materials given her in the form of food
and works them over into milk. If the
supply of proper materials is small, the
output will be small. The COW that will
not repay generous feeding should be
disposed Of and one bought that will.

characteristics or natural qualities
which even liberal feeding cannot
overcome.

tain ridges obstruct the view or in a
flat country that affords no good
points Of vantage, are often unable to
pick up fires quickly by the rising
smoke, or to locate them accurately.
For precise location the system In use
depends on triangulation through re
ports telephoned from separate obser-
walton points. Alrplanes, however, can
use wireless, or even the new wireless
telephone, and they can locate fires by
coordlnates in the same way that gun
fire in war is directed to particular
spot.
Experiments made in bombing fires
to put them out show the possibilities
in this direction. Bombs charged with
suitable chemicals for extingiushing
fires have been used with good results,
At present the only observation bal
loon used In connection with forest
fire patrolling is the one maintained at
the Arcadia field, near Los Angeles.
This balloon Is sent aloft to a height
of about 5000 feet and remains there
from Z q. m. until p. m. In case of fire
report from the balloon observer Is
telephoned to the army balloon school
and transmitted to the forest service
at Los Angeles. Another plan to be
tested later in the summer is trans
porting fire fighters by dirigibles from
which ladders can be lowered to the

Outlaw Cotton Fields.
The airplahe to spy out hidden cot
ton fields has proved successful. 1t is
the result of an experiment carried out
ny the federal horticultural board Of
the department Of agriculture. In
southern Texas, where the devastat-
ing pink bollworm of cotton has been
trying to invade the. United States.
from Mexico, there are c0tton-free
zones, declared by law as barriers
against the progress Of the worm. But
few misguided farmers feel that
their rights have been infringed and
have developed a tendency to become
outlaw cotton planters. Much Of the
country Is heavily timbered, roads are
neither plentiful nor good in many pla-
ces, and 1t has been possible for an
outlaw planter to tuck away a few
acres Of cotton in some nook Of the
woods beyond probability Of discovery
by ordinary means, though the depart
ment Of agriculture has been making
dIligent efforts to spot every stalk Of
cotton in the Quarantined areas.
Last year when workers of the fed
eral horticultural board were on the
ground. they tried out the airplane for
scouting work. In this way Inspector

wooded country along the Trinity riv-

tional forests and national parks must
be patrolled by airplanes and protect
ed by wireless telephone.
Time is a vital factor in fighting
forest fires. They must be detected
instantly and combated promptly.
Once forest fire gains sufficient
Roadway the flames convert each live
pine into a gas retort and the flaming
gas, carried by the wind, jumps far
ahead Of the fire line, to start new
fires. Also, a forest fire will run up
mountain slope with tremendous
speed, creating sits own draft as 1t
goes.
Airplane service would instantly de-
tect forest fire. It would reach the
spot promptly, with smothering gas,
firetighters, tools, provisions and ma
terials. II the national forests and
national parks are worth creating and
administering, they are worth preserV-
ing. The ordinary forest fire Is ca
lamity The big one is catastrophe.
In a twinkling the growth of gem
erations is gone. Where a forest stood
there is desolation which will last for
many a year. The losses in money
this season, saying nothing of the
menace to human life, would pay for
an extensive air service equipment.
That there is q distinct and impor-
tant place for aircraft in fire protec-
ton of timberlands has been regard
ed by the forestry officials for some
time as beyond doubt. 1t was with this
idea in mind that arrangements were
made to have army airplanes and cap
tive balloons cover portions of the ma
tlonal forests of California. Arizona,
New Mexico and otherstates this sum-
mer. The patrolling was started early
IN June and has so quickly. proved its
worth, that 1t was proposed to extend
the service to other points in the East,
including one near the White noun
tains in New Hampshire.
No difficulty is experienced by the
Rtrmen in detecting fires in heavy tim
Der from elevations Of 5000 to 10000
feet.
At present the forest service relies
for the detection Of fires partly on pa
troll, usually by men on horses, motor
cycles, or railroad speeders, and partly
on watchers stationed on lookout
points. Aircraft have many points Of
obvious superiority over this method.
