SOME RECORD AIR FLIGHTS
Give Proof That Birds Are Still tho
Undisputed Champions In the
Flying Game.

Long-distance flights by birdmen
have long been anticipated by the birds
themselves, says the Christian Science
Monitor. Recent proofs Of their endur-
ance and wanderlust comes in re-
port from Capetown, which says that
five swallows have been traced recent
ly from hangers In England to tenn
porary homes in South Africa. These
birds were ringed as nestlings and
found by happy chance at the other
end of the world. One Nesting ringed
in Lancashire, was found in Cape
Province in February of the next year !;
another. ringed In Ayrshire, was re-
ported next March in Orange Free
State; another, ringed in Yorkshire,
was recovered In East Griqualand the
following February; fourth swallow
this time an adult, ringed in Stafford
shire. was recovered in Natal Is
months afterward; the fifth bird
ringed on June 1, 1919 in Stirlingshire
was found in February, 1920, at Lake
Chrissie.
The ringing scheme was inaugurated
by ]. 81. Whitherby, editor of British
Birds.

IOWA is MADE A TARGET

used moving craft for target ex-
cept in actual war.
Two of the Iowa's coal-burning boil
ers are being converted to burn oil so
the ship may continue under way with
no one aboard once its fires have been
started burning and its engines placed
in motion.
1t is expected that the unique prac-
tice will give the gun pointers of the
Atlantic fleet an opportunity to test
their ability under conditions as nearly
like those to be expected in battle as
can be obtained. Smoke screens will
be thrown around the Iowa during the
runs and the course will be changed
at viii through the radio control sys-
TEN, necessitating a change in range
on all the firing ships, exactly as would
occur in action.
The Iowa has already been stripped
of some of its guns and much valuable
metal and the practice will be contin-
ued until the old vessel, mass o.
twisted metal sinks beneath the waves

OATS BEST CROP
Statistics Show Advantages
Over Corn Growing.
on Comparatively Cheap Land In
Western Canada Farmers Get Rec
ord YIelds-cost Per Acre Much
Less Than Corn.

How much more does it cost to
grow an acre Of corn than to grow an
acre of oats7 To get a proper COM
parison 1t is necessary to take an IL
lustration from farm on which both
crops are grown successfully. An ex-
ample has just been brought to the
writer's attention OF the comparative
cost Of growing corn and oats on a
Minnesota farm. 1t Is furnished by
Albert Inner, well-known farmer In
Cottonwood county, Mimi, in an ar
tfcle which appeared In the Cotton
wood Citizen.
Mr.. Inner says: II had curiosity
to know how much 1t would cost to
raise an acre of oats and corn. To
find out 1 kept account, during the
year, of the time required and the
cash expended to grow the above men
toned crops" His figures show that
it cost him $31.49 to grow an acre Of
corn and $1S.13 1-3 to grow an acre of
oats. or a difference Of $500 an acre
in favor of oats.
Provided the respective crop yields
are not altogether out of proportion to
the cost of growing the crop, this
seems to be good argument in favor
of growing oats. But to grow oats
successfully it is not necessary to use
$3.50 or 5000 land. In western Canada
some of the best oat-growing land in
the world can be bought for about $50
an acre. On this land good yields and
a high quality of grain is obtainable.
Fifty to sixty bushels to the acre
in properly prepared land is a fair
average yield for oats In western Can
ada In normal season but yields of
up to 100 bushels. and even more, to
the acre lave been frequent in good
years. The quality of oats grown in
western Canada is attested by the fact
that at all the international exhibit
hons for many years past oats grown
in western Canada have been award
ed the leading prizes. There is on
record oats grown in western Canada
that have weighed as much as 4S
pounds to the measured buskel. and
the dominion grain inspector is author
fty for the statement that IS per cent
of the oats examined by him In west
ern Canada weigh more than ~
pounds to the measured bushel The
standard weight for a bushel of oats
is "a pounds.
Samples of these oats weighing up
ward of 45 pounds to the bushel are
on exhibition at the Canadian govern
ment information bureau, located In
various cities in the United States

British Scientist Makes Daring
Experiment in Interest
of Aviation.
WAS HERMETICALLY SEALED
Question Involved Was Would 1t Be
Possible to Calculate Quantity of
Oxygen Necessary to Airmen
at High Attitudes.

London.-Six days sealed up in a
glass case is a daring experiment bear
ing on aviation which has just been
carried out by a middle-aged British
university professor, Joseph Bancroft,
+. r. S., reader in physiology at Cam
bridge university The question in
volved was whether 1t would be pos
sible to calculate the quantity of oxy-
gen necessary to an airman at high al
titudes.
The case in which Mr.. Bancroft was
shut up for six days was specially
erected in a quiet room in the physio-
logical laboratory. 1t was about seven
feet high and about ten feet broad.
The floor, walls and roof were made
of glass, hermetically sealed and di-
vided into two compartments-one
fitted with lounge chair and table
and the other with simple bed.
Took Regular Exercise.
At the foot of the bed was a pedal
ing apparatus consisting of a frame of
a bicycle, from which the front wheel
had been removed, and small back
wheel with frame attached, to enable
Mr.. Bancroft to get some exercise and
cause a certain amount of work to be
done.
During his six days in this case
Mr.. Bancroft spent his time in work

ing. He was kept under observation
day and night to insure his personal
safety, college students and others TAX
ing their turn to keep watch.
Nitrogen was continually introduced
into the chamber and the air became
gradually rarer in oxygen until it ap-
proximated that at an altitude of 49,
600 feet, when Mr.. Bancroft, who has
had experience In mountaineering, ex-
perienced considerable Inconvenience
from sickness and sleeplessness, and
also an indisposition to take any food.
Felt Rather Shaken.
At the close of the experiment some
blood was taken from Mr.. Barcroft's
arm. The oxygen the blood contained
was separated and it was found to
agree with the expectations Of the ex-
pertinent.
Mr.. Bancroft confesses to having felt
rather shaken up after his release from
the glass case but did not look much
the worse for the experience.
The experiment is regarded here as
thoroughly successful and a scientific
report of 1t will be laid before the
next meeting of the British associa-
ton, where Mr.. Bancroft will be presi.
dent of the physiological section.
