zone by aerial patrol was officially In
augurated and 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 ut an nlti-
tude of from 1,5OO to 1000 feet. At
this elevation on clear day dis
tinct vision could be had of the coun-
try over a range of 80 miles, and cul-
tivated 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 tlfat the observer has
time to get a complete picture of the

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
er agricultural and forestry surveys.
which are analogous to the mapping
and survey use made of 1t for war pur-
poses.
The tests made last year, followed
by the more important and systematic
utilization of this new means of sur
vey and inspection carried out this
year, marks probably the first use Of
the airplane In 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.

cut up by deep canons or where noun
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. Airplanes, however. can
use wireless, or even the new wireless
telephone, and they can locate fires by
coordinates 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 a. m. until 6 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
ground.
Outlaw Cotton Fields.
The airplane to spy out hidden cot
ton fields has proved successful It is
the result of an experiment carried out
by the federal horticultural board Of
the department of agriculture. In
southern Texas. where the devastnt-
ing pink bollworm of cotton has been
trying to invade the United States
from Mexico, there are cotton-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 tendency to become
outlaw cotton planters. Much of the
country is heavily timbered, roads are
neither plentiful nor good in many pla-
ces, md 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
HensIey of the board discovered sew
en- outlaw cotton fields In the heavily
wooded country along the Trinity Wv
er and around Galveston bay which
had escaped discovery.

eating cotton fields In the observation

tional forests and national parks must
be patrolled by nirplanes and protect
ed by wireless telephone.
Time is vital factor in fighting
forest fires. They must be detected
Instantly and eombated promptly.
Once n forest fire gains sufficient
headway 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, forest fire will run up
mountain slope with tremendous
speed, creating Its own draft as 1t
goes.
Airplane service would instantly de-
tect forest fire. 1t would reach the
spot promptly. with smothering gas,
firefighters, tools, provisions and ma
terials. If 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 twinkling the growth of gen.
erations is gone. Where a forest stood
there is desolation which will last for
many 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 n distinct and impor-
taut place for aircraft In fire protec-
tion 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
tional forests of California, Arizonn,
New Mexico and other states 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
airmen in detecting fires in heavy tim
ber 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

Senate Authorizes Sweeping
Investigation by Committee.
VIII Go to Bottom of Outrages
Against Americans.
DECIDE ON FUTURE ACTION
Investigators Will Suggest
Means To Prevent Recurrence.
VIII Fix Blame for Murders and
Destruction Along Border.

Washington, Aug. S.-Without OPP
position or debate the senate today
adopted a resolution authorizing the
foreign relations committee to make
a sweeping investigation of outrages
against Americans and property in
Mexico and to report what, II any
means, should be taken to prevent a
recurrence of such outrages.
The senate foreign relations COM
mittee previously had ordered a favor
able report on the King resolution.
The measure gives the committee
broad powers to go into the killing
Of Americans, the destruction and
confiscatfon of property and the col
lection of claims since the retirement
Of President Diaz.
A report Of findings, with any
recommendations thought necessary,
is to be laid before the senate.

He HAS A DADDY DOG
Goodrich Ranchman Ofers To Ship
Him to Topeka Boy.

few days ago a story appeared
in The State Journal about a boy who
wanted a father dog-one with spots.
Out in Goodrich, Kansas, the story
was read by c. w. Knight, owner of
the Welcome Ranch, who raises Ches-
ter White hogs and Spitz dogs.
A letter came from him today say
ing that he had a dog with black spots
on him. Spitz dogs are pure white,
entirely without spots. Knight offers
to crate the dog, put him on a train
and send him to the boy in Topeka, If
the lad can raise the expense of the
shipping charge.
1t is not known that a record of the
boys name was kept at the city hall,
but If he can be found and put in
touch with The State Journal office
they will tell him how to proceed to
obtain his father dog with spots on
him."
