The 'raIe of A Scientists Kite.

The weather bureau Of the United
States department of agriculture
gathered a great deal of valuable in
formation for army and navy avia-
tors during The war and for mail
service aviation since that time by
means OF a kite to which Is attached
a self-re cording instrument, the me-
teorograph. Some OF the difficulties
experienced are shown by an incident
that occurred March 16 at Leesburg,
Ga. In order to attain the height de-
sired, a number of kites had been
sent up tandem They consisted of
strong wooden frames about by by
8 feet. Each kite was covered with
about II yards of fine cambria and
was attached to fine piano wire.
They We're let out and hauled in by
a reel operated by electric motor
Due to n defective splice four of the
kites with about three miles of wire
broke away and flew about eighteen
miles before the wire became entan-
gled in I tree. A farmer telephoned
the news to the aerological station,
but before the party sent out to re-
cover the kites could reach them
some negroes had wrecked the first
one and stolen the cloth, which was
later found in nine pieces in various
cabins. The other three kites, when
the first one was separated from
them. escaped and flew about three
miles farther. During the flight, how
ever. the wire became entangled with
a boy and mule blowing in field.
The boy grasped the wire and cut
and burned his hands. The mule be-
came so entangled in the wire that
the help of three men was required
to release him. The three kites were
finally caught in another tree which
was cut down by another party of
negroes and, in falling, wrecked the
second kite. which was dismantled
by the negroes. The two remaining
kites again escaped, flew about three
miles farther and landed in one of
the tallest pine trees in the region.
The third kite had meteorograp
attached which was recovered I'M
damaged. A heavy rain came on,
however. and the two remaining kites
were broken up and finally abandon

WHY FARMERS QUIT.
[s;ioux City Journal.l

lSslOuA My Ooui
Another thing discouraging extern
sive planting is the high price and
scarcity Of labor. Until there Is a
change ir. the labor situation; until
there are fewer jobs at polishing au-
tcmobiles and more at following the
pillow, the reduction of farm opera
tions which require large supplies OF
labor in particular seasons like har-
vest and threshing. will continue.
The farmer can nc. stand strike.
His work can not be suspended while
labor fights for wages or different
conditions. His crops must be plant
ed in season and harvested in sea-
son. A strike against him at such
times means financial ruin. He is too
competent a business man to take
the risk. That is what lies at the
bottom of the reduced acreage of
wheat in most Of the places where
reductions will be made. 1t win not
be removed until other enterprises
cease bidding against the farmer for
labor.

were light. Cash values, however,
gained little ground. The condi
lions were excellent. Indications are
for an increased acreage and a
favorable start. The action of the
market next week will be governed
largely by the movement of cash
grain. Responsible information is
to the effect that there is still plenty
of corn to be marketed.
Oats-Oats were influenced largely
by corn and finished with moderate
losses. Crop news was better.

Chestnut was once favorite materi-
al for doors. Many house fifty
years old or more has such doors.
Now, alas. the spreading chestnut
tree will no more harbor the village
smithy, which has itself wellnigh
disappeared in these days of motor
cars. Again man has been baffied
by the mysterious forces of Nature.
Blights and pests are not uncommon.
but usually science has been able to
discover the cause and apply the
remedy. There are forms of plant
life that would not be greatly
missed, but the noble chestnut tree
is not of these. Perhaps future gem
erations which will never see it may
use the word chestnut in it's humor-
Gus implication without realizing
that it ever had any other. Nor will
the small boy of that day watch for
the first frost to crack the burrs and
send them groundward, or his remi-
niscent elder linger by the street
corner to get pocketful of roasted
nuts, bursting their shining sheaths,
from the alien vender.

Concerning Crime Waves"

Crime waves have not been meas
ured by scientists, and the world
waits for an Einstein to reveal their
nature and extent. Perhaps it will
be found not only that the crime ex-
lists, but is responsive, like light, to
gravitational force When other is
sues are settled to their satisfaction
amateur physicists and psychiatrists
may use their mental teeth on this
one.
War leaves behind it restless
ness that brings more or less violent
social upheavals. Labor disturbances
are abnormally numerous and I'M
reasoned. But a crime wave, if
there be such a thing, is a much
more serious matter. There NAV be
statistics to show general increase
of crime, but the present reports are
most likely to be put forth on insult
