NEW YORK
The Aero CIul' Of Am""i'' has been
thrown into Il state Of near mnic .hv
cable dispatches that the British navy
has a giant dirigibIe all ready for the
flight across the Atlantic. But for Ia
Dor troubles. according to the cable
gram, the ship would have been across
the Atlantic and back again before
this. The airship is tile RIO, con
structed by Armstrong, Whitworth &
Co., of~Glasgow. and it may start the
transatlantic voyage any day.
IF America does not look sharp the
trans Atlantic flight will be made by
the British before we are ready TO
launch our own attempts said Alan
r. Hawley, president of the Aero club.
Officials Of the club have just re-
ceived a copy of the memorandum is

ing the development Of the lighter
than-air machine has been, if possible
more striking than the heavier7than-
air machine, and that the dirigiblc tyne
is possibly better fitted to make the
ocean crossing than the aeroplane.
The tremendous advance that has
been made in dirigiblc construction
since the beginning Of the war has
made possible the crossing of the At
lantic with the new type Of ship now
ready at Glasgow.
In 1914 the average endurance OF =

Bad weather will not apprcciably

LOUISIANA RICE REPORT

Harvesting Of the early rice is
progressing rapidly, in many instan-
ces is completed. Some yields are re-
ported as disappointing, but the act
nal harvest Of the crop is confirm
ing for the most part the high-yield
estimate. With the right kind Of
weather from now on, it is difficult
to foresee anything short Of bump
er rice crop this year.
Condition of the Louisiana crop on
October was 80 per cent of nor
NAL, forecasting a probable produc-
ton Of 1892, 900 bushels. Last year
production was 17,9s0,O0O bushels +;
two years ago $4,000, 900, and three
years ago 2O,S92,OOO.
The forecast of production for the
United States, based on October l
condition, is 44,SOO,OCC bushels, a.
gainst 4O,424, 900 last year.
Along the River we may mention
Assumption as having a very good
crop, so good in fact that some of the
rice planters are now watering their
second crop. Yields of Is barrels per
acre were common enough. In East

Baton Rouge yields are reported as
disappointing, but the late rices in
West Baton Rouge are fairly good
where not blown down and damaged.
jefferson reports indicate that the
late rices are expected to fall far
short of expectations in yield. st.
James had fair to average crop and
most of it is harvested.
On Bayou Teche good yields are
reported. St. Martin reports indicate
an average of Is sacks yield. iberia
says the crop is so per cent harvest
ed. St. Mary reports that the late
rices are backward in growth, and
the early varieties yielding well above
the average.
The crop in Southwestern Louisi-
ana is in excellent shape excepting a
few scattered grassy fields. Farmers
in this quarter speak of the crop as
the best in years and seem wholly
satisfied with the probable Outturn.
In Vermillion there is compliant of
plants and heads short in the late
planted, predicative of light yields.
North winds have harmed the late
rices slightly in Southwestern Loui-
siana but they have been benefited
