Health and HEIGHT Count.

Every dying man in the United
States air service has TO undergo q
strict medical test periodically in or
der that he may be classified in one Of
four grades. "AA" men are the few
who can stand air work at attitudes
above 10000 feet. "A" men can stand
the strain between $4,000 and 20.00O
feet, while the "B" class consists of
pilots for duties between 5000 and
$1,000 feet, and the &C. group includes
all airmen fit only for service between
ground level and 5000 feet. 1t has
been found that airmen of most robust
physique cannot stand the sudden
changes Of air pressure entailed by
diving and rapid climbing for any
length of time. Hence the frequent
medical examinations, carried out by
experts who have drawn up a care
fully calculated standard of efficiency.

non cultivated crops should follow
cultivated crops; crops requiring nj
trogen should follow those requiring
potash; crops subject to attack from
the same enemy should not follow
each other; and, as rule, crops all
of which are removed from the soil
should not follow each other.
Except in dry regions, field that

nothing, but is losing more fertility
from teaching and washing than il
would lose IL crop were growing
upon it. For this reason it is best to
keep some crop constantly growing
upon il. When land needs rest"
it is merely sick" from an improper
rotation or no rotation.
REST is not quitting the busy career,
Rest is not the fitting of self to its
sphere"
A quick-maturing crop may often
be grown after an early crop, as corn
after potatoes; COW peas after corn.
Some crops are grown to be used on
the farm, others to be marketed as a
money CROP, and every system of
rotation should contain both market
able and usable crops. Any crop to
be fed to stock which in turn are
marketed would be considered mon
ey crop.
Other advantages of crop rotation
may be summarized as follows: il
tends to free the land from noxious
weeds; exterminates insects and fun
gous diseases; prevents soil deple-
ton and the formation of toxic sub
stances; and distributes the labor
throughout the year.

AGRICULTURE
Crop Rotation

From Chapter XIV Ferguson &
Lewis Elementary of Agriculture.
The amount of mineral food which
crop will take from the soil varies
with the kind of crop, the amount of
the plant removed from the soil in
the yearly harvest, the fertility of the
soil and many seasonal features. AS
rule grain crops remove or require
large amounts of phosphorus; root
crops require potash; and hay crops
Except legumes) require much nit
