A newspaper IN Denver, Colorado, has
purchased a plane to be used for making
paper deliveries in this city and suburbs.
We have the fire plane, as fully equipped
for effective fire fighting as any motor
truck or ancient horsedraWn engine, and
forest rangers in the West are using the
airplane in their observation work, since
it enables them to detecE fires more read

Then there is the air cop, who is thus
aole to keep a Watchful eye on laWbr3ah-
en-. in out-Of-the way places.
The stockman OF the plains finds a seat
ir an airplane of great advantage eve a
seat on the back of a horse in the perfor-
nance of his duties. hence we haye the
air cowboy.
Explorers and scientists are putting
the airpiane 70 novel uses, and it is also
finding an extensive ield in the develop
ment Of Ommerc and travel by air
routes. The aerobus in a reality in
Europe, and similar vehicles are already
making trial trips in America. Surely

One OF the most unique and exciting
achievements Of tho airEeI is a recent
experience of a marin fIer in the north
Atlantic. This aier was covering a
patrol in MS ny roriane when he sighted
a auge whale floating on the surface Of
the sea, sanning himself and spouting
away with all the feeling Of safety and
contentment of a captive in the zoologi-
cal park" The pilot glided low and
trained his machine gun on the IOafng
leviathan. He was a good marksman
and his shots were true. Today there is
only water in the ocean where the whale
used to be, for the new hunter not only
killed the big fish, but attracted d traW-
ler to the spot, and the great carcass
was towed to port and converted into oil
and Whalebone."

An exchange calls attention to what
purports to be the Oldest sugar factory in
the Western Hemisphere located at AT
lacomuIco, nenr C%uernovaca in the senate
OF 1loreIoS, Mexico. The Spanish records
show that it was built in 1886 by Herman
&c Cortes, the conqueror o. Mexico. 1t
was the first erected by European colon
lists. The factory still stands and is in
active operation. An American visited
1t this spring just after it had completed
It's annual run. The building was des-
cribed as # a low structure made of sun
dried brick. Of course, the old equip
ment is noJ there any more. Cortes is
reportedsas having superintended the fac
tory himself and partaken also of its
sweets. The explorer Wasnot only a states
man Dut a business man. The location
of the central shows what good judge

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS Continued from Page Eisht)

soils
 Lime is fundamental to agricultural development. The belief that it is needed only to correct acidity of the soil seems to have been relegated to the limbo of the past Acidity is a mere incident. Whether a soil is acid or not does not seem to matter so much. It is what lime does for the crop.
 It was formerly said that soils de- rived from limestone rock and con- taining broken bits of limestone could not possibly need lime. but the crops have spoken otherwise.
 The Tennessee station results show that lime performs well not only for legumes but for grain crops Two tons Of lime in five experiments showed up on alfalfa two tons better to the acre than the unlimed land. Eleven series of experiments with red and alsilIe clovers average 2.31 tons per acre on lined land and 1.43 tons on unlimed Other clovers are not such heavy feed CTS and do not give such marked diff ferences
 Numerous experiments have been conducted with lime on corn. In 12 series of experiments the lined land led the unlimed six bushels to the acre. In experiments during eight years, two tons of ground limestone accounted for an average increase of nine bushels a year over the check plot.
 Seventeen series of experiments with whes, show an average yield of 16S bushels on lined and 140 bushels on un- lined land. or an increase of 20 per cent. due to lime.
 Soy, beans. cowpeas, orchard grass, timothy and redtop are all in the lime loving class and respond profitably to applications of it.

BREED THEATRE,

Another banner bill is to be seen at the Breed theatre today and Thursday and is headed by Hale Hamilton in his latest Metro offering, Full of Pep. This is daring adventure story where intrigue blends with romance and gives Hamilton a role in which he is seen at his magnetic best. The story tells of how Jimmy Baxter, a dynamic young American. smuggles a cargo of munitions right under the eyes of the revolutionists of a Central American republic to he rightful government and how he Is instrumental in quelling the rebels. To achieve his ends he poses as a patent medicine salesman and sells a preparation known as Pep. With the aid of this marvellous reme- dy he Is enabled to cure the entire army of their revolutionary ideas and restores the rightful government. Not only does he gain the gratitude of the president but he also wins the love of the presidents beautiful daughter.
 For the second feature. Tom Mix will be seen in Fighting for Gold. This picture is hurricane of action and adventure and Mix does many stunts, for no Mix play would be complete without them.
 A Harold Lloyd comedy entitled Swat the Crook will complete the bill for today and Thursday.

from different farms. Half were fertile and half infertile, but all were abso- lutely fresh.
 The eggs were kept on the farm un- der ordinary conditions. Some were stored in parlors, some in kitchens, some in cellars and some in pantries Some eggs were put in nests, some under laying hens, some under setting hens. In every instance an equal mum Der of fertile and infertile eggs were subjected to the same conditions.
 week later the eggs were collected and sold to a local grocery store, where they were candled. They were then shipped to St. Louis and again candled.
 While on the farm 29 per cent. of the fertile eggs were spoiled for food. as compared with only Is per cent. Of the infertile eggs. On the way to mar ket IA per cent. of the fertile and only per cent. of the infertile eggs were spoiled. This made a total of 43 pes cent. of the fertile eggs spoiled as compared with 25 per cent. of the inf fertile ones. In other words, there were 150 dozen more of the fertile eggs lost than of the infertile. Figure this loss yourself at prevailing prices.
 The way to prevent this loss is to get rid of the rooster as soon as the breeding season is over. Hens lay just as well. or better, when there is nc male bird in the flock.
 In Missouri June l is set aside each year as Swat the Rooster" day. IF Indiana more than 100000 roosters were marketed during one week last year.
 This year local dealers in that state are offering to pay a premium of two cents a pound for all roosters sent -tC market during Swat the Rooster week.

Look forward to next winters sup ply of wood. In many parts the old time custom still prevails of burning valuable cordwood in log heaps fol- lowing the clearing up of new land. Thousands of farmers must provide themselves with wood for next win- ter. If the farmer cannot use the wood himself. some neighbor schoolhouse or chruch will likely be glad to get it when cold weather comes. Much wood. apparently useless at this time of the year. will be wasted unless forethought is exercised. Postpone burning your waste wood.
