EARLY FLOWING WILL GIVE.
BEST RESULTS WITH WHEAT.

Experiences of Kentucky wheat
growers agree with experiments in
showing that best results In growing
the crop are obtained by blowing land

Roberts, head of the soils and crops

bed gives more compact bed, a ne
cessity for wheat, 1t prevents the es-
cape of moisture and developes more
available plant food, according to the
specialist.
Farmers have found that 1t is gen.
orally advisable to disc ahead of the

INVENTION TO ADD SAFETY
TO PLANE.FLYING
Won't BE Necessary TO Have Big
Landing Field With New
Invention.

cut down the comparatively high cost
Of commercial aviation will be realiz-
ed, officials of the Dayton Wright Air
plane Company believe, with the pat
enting of a new wing, invented by an
empl zee of the COMPANY. Patents
now are pending in Washington.
The wing will be controlled by the
pilot, and in coming to earth can be
SO manipulated that 1t will arch, much
as bird't wing, enabling a practically
undertaking glide to earth, instead 70
flying at various levels before alight-
ing. 1t is stated. Pending its patents
the company is disclosing nothing fur
Their regarding the nature of the in
ventiOn.
The new wing, according to Col. "
e. Clark, chief engineer of the COM
pany, will make possible reduction
in cost by increasing the carrying ca
pacity of any plane upon which it is
installed by more than 300 per cent.
The same wing area and the same low
speed in landing are retained, he said.
1t Is singular that the invention was
practically completed by co-worker
Of the Wright brothers,. M. Jacobs,
an employee of the Dayton Wright
Company for twelve years. Hhe spent
seven months working on plans for the
wing. The invention was concluded
under the direction Of Col Clark.
Officials of the Dayton-Wright Com
pany expect 1t to revolutionize COM
mercial flying. In addition to increas-
ing the carrying capacity of plane,
the wing, Col. Clark said, will make 1t
possible to decrease the landing speed
by 80 per cent, If the same load is
carried as with ordinary wings, and
increase the flying speed by rs per
cent, carrying the same load.
Most Of the danger Of landing will
be eliminated he said, and flyer will
be enabled to land safely In a small
field, now one Of the most difficult
things to accomplish in cross country
flying.
Advantage Of the improvements, Col
Clark pointed out, may be taken as
conditions arise and as the pilot sees
fit.
Another saving that should be re-
Elected in the freight cost, he added, is
that landing fields will not have to be
as large, for in keeping the same load
as with ordinary wings, flyer may
get into a field one-tenth as large
Small municipalities, he pointed out
could better afford to establish such
fields.
Increasing the carrying capacity o.
plane will be accomplished, Col
Clark, said, by adding to the tota
weight Of the plane, hence giving more
poundage room for fuel and load.
A plane that ordinarily has ca
pacity Of 1000 pounds for fuel ant
load, with the news wings may take or
1920 pounds.
They are designed to give a SLOW
speed and a high lift in landing, anC
purely high speed in flight.
The gliding angle may be changed
without changing speed. 1t is neces
sary with old type wings to locke,
with the throttle to keep at the loves
speed, Col Clark continued.
In landing in restricted space, tn
wings may be set so as to offer in
creased resistance, making possible {
landing at the closest possible point to
n harriar
