The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-08-23

According to officials of the com
pany, all Of whom are flyers with con
siderable experience both in this u
try and abroad, the course will be the
same as furnished airmen in the army,
with the exception Of the elimination
OF a large part Of instruction not
necessary for civilian flyers.
That the Aero Club Of America. the
nationally recognized association of
aerial navigation, thinks a great deal
of the ability of those behind the local
company and the corporations prospects
for promoting a~eronautics. Is evidenced
by a telegram received at the company's
offices Yesterday from officials Of the
Aero club. The telegram was to the
effect that students graduated by the
sompany's school will be given pilot
licenses, which. sanctioned as they will
be by the Aero club, will permit gradu-
ates to fly a plane anywhere In the
United States, or elsewhere, for that
matter.
Some Of the most experienced flyers
In the country have signed contracts
with the Memphis Aerial company, and
with the staff Of riggers, mechanics.
etc, now employed the COMPANY feals
that It is ina position to give an aerial
service that Is second to none in the
country,
Passenger service, instruction, exhibit
tons, advertising stunts--all are in the
company's business curriculum.
The surprising feature of the COM
pany's remarkable rise In a commercial
sense is that of sales. Not less than a
dozen planes have been disposed of to
Mississippi and Arkansas planters and
business men within the last few weeks,
an indication that some time In the
near future planes will scoot across the
sky with the frequency that autos now
traverse a city's streets.

WINTER GREENS FOR FOWLS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
If the best results are to be obtained
with poultry they must be furnished
with a plentiful supply of green feed.
Where fowls have unlimited range on
farm they will secure green feed
during the spring, but during the win
ter it must be supplied for them. The
question OF how TO supply the best
feed at the least cost is one that each
poultry keeper must decide largely for
himself. 1t win probably make but
little difference what kind of green
feed is supplied, provided It is rellshed
by the fowls. cabbages, turnips,
beets. potatoes, etc, are suitable FOR
this purpose The larger roots and
the cabbages may be suspended By
means OF wire or string, or they
may be placed on the floor. in which
case It would be well to split the tnr-
nips or beets lengthwlse with a large
knife. Potatoes and turnips should be
fed cooked. The mangel is an excel
lent root for feeding raw. Cut clover
soaked in boiling water fed alone or
with the mash is good. Glover meal
and ground alfalfa make very good
feeds for thss purpose. Where the
fowls are yarded and not enough
green feed Is furnished by the yard
a small patch Of clover, alfalfa or rape
may be sown. Any one Of these. II

average yield should be from nine to
