ON THE ROAD A LONG TIME

When the soldiers passed through
Baraboo a few days ago on march
Of about a thousand miles, one
thought they were making a long
journey. Those who have been delving
into the history of man have found
there were men-like creatures who
lived something like 100000 years ago,
Wells tells of these men in his "Out-
line of History" Man, then in case
Psychologists are correct, have been
on road for something like half
a million years. 1t has been a long
road but filled with beautiful days
and rich rewards, notwithstanding the
apparent diseases from wars and pes
tilences. Like regiment of soldiers
which date back to the time of Wash
ington, so with the human procession.
when one drops by the wayside an
other is there to fill the place. In this
way the continuity, is never broken,
the march continuing until the day of
destiny.

A recent issue Of 1.-THE Western
Farm Life" contains a page article
about the Fort Lewis school of which
G.. F. Snyder, formerly resident of
Baraboo, is the principal. The pro-
perty was once government fort on
the frontier, the same as Fort Win
nebago at Portage was once on the
border line of civilization, to protect
the settlements in the east from the
relentless savages in the west. There
are $500 acres, about ten square
miles, at an altitude of 1900 feet
more than a mile about the sea. The
altitude of the courtyard in Baraboo
is about 889 feet Principal Snyder
took charge of the school in 1911 and
has placed about 800 acres of the
land under cultivation. An effort is
being made to find what crops willy
thrive the best at the elevation Of
the school and great success has been
made along this line.
For the mess hall and the school
homes at Fort Lewis garden of COM
mercial size is maintained. It is on
definite rotation plan of five units
as follows.
This was given to the cabbage group
in 1921. Here caulif1ower, cabbage,
etc, are grown this season.
2. This was given to the umbel
group for 1921. Carrots, parsnips, ETC.,
were grown. r.
Sweet corn types adapted to higher
attitudes we're planted
4. Legume for 1921. Peas, beans, etc.
5. Miscellaneos for 1921. Here
were planted onions, spinach, pep
pers, tomatoes lettuce radishes etc.
Each year crops rotate on each unit
SO but one year in five are the same
crops grown on a given unit.
This rotation system in the garden
has been found quite helpful in the con
troll of insect and fungus garden pests
The home economics department gets
from the garden it's supply for can
ming and preserving vegetables for
winter use Of the school, Vegetables
Of nearly all kinds grow in superior
excellence in these higher attitudes.
Colorado produce dealers are just, in
these last few years, beginning to
cash in on the quality of vegetables
produced in the higher attitudes. A
fine workout is before the experiment
tai garden at Fort Lewis.
Considerable attention is also given
to live stock and other matters per-
tanning to the farm.

SEVEN KILLED IN
 AIRPLAN TRAGEDY
AERO AMBULANCE CRASHES TO EARTH DURING TERRIFIC
 STORM

Washington. = Seven men, five of the Army and two civilians, were kill ed in the wreck Of an Army Curtiss- Eagle ambulance airplane near Indian Head, Mo, 40 miles southeast of Washington, in terrific wind and electrical storm
 Army Air Service officers said the accident was the worst in the history of aviation in the United States, eith- CT military or civil, and that it vas one of the few in which all of the passengers in falling plane were killed almost instantly.
 The ship struck the ground nose first, andthe force of the impact was so great that the big 400-horsepower Liberty motor in the front end of the craft was torn from it's bed and thrown back into the cockpit on top of the pilot and the passengers. All Of them were badly mutilated.
 The Curtis-Eagle was returning from trip to Langley Field, near Newport News. Va, and had just crossed the Potomac river when it ran into the storm which had passed over Washington an hour before The exact cause of the accident probably will never be known, as those in the machine were dead when witnesses from Morgantown, little village near Indian Head. reached the scene
 An official investigation of tEe ac- cident will be ordered. At that in- vestigation it is possible an inquiry will be made into the general design and practical use by the Army of such machine, the only one of its type in the service. Air service of ficers said that when the plane left Langley Field it was apparently in perfect running condition and had been functioning properly during the several hours in the morning and af- ternoon. Captain DeLavergne, air at tache of the French embassy, who made the trip in the Eagle from Washington, said that in his opinion the ship was unbalanced
 'The machine was badly balanced, ," Captain DeLavergne said. Ut had a small motor of only 400horsepower. The weight was too much The pilot could not control it. I declined to re- turn in 1t, and came back by boat"
 Representative Campbell of Kan sas, chairman of the House Rules Committee and Walsh Of Massachu- setts, who went to Langley Field in the Eagle, also returned to Washing. ton by boat. MT Campbell said the element of safety had not entered in- to their decision not to return fin the Eagle; that both of them were sea sick and the air in the closed plan was bad.

CROP FOR 1921 WILL BE THE SMALLEST FOR TWENTY
 FIVE YEARS.
DUE TO ACREAGE REDUCTION
Huge Gut Amounts To Thirty-one Per Cent, President of American Cot ton Association Says-PeopIe
 Realize Situation.

New York.-The country faces the shortest cotton crop in the last quar- ter of century, J. s. Wannamaker of St Mathews, s. c, president of the American Cotton Association, told the national consultation confer ence of American cotton growers
 This shortage is largely due, he said, to the successful cotton acreage reduction campaign of the association n it's effort to create market and prevent further defiation in prices. He quoted statistics to show the acre age had been reduced 30.73 per cent. He said there must be united effort on the part of government and busi- ness if the cotton industry is to re- gain it's feet and the financial difficult ties of the growers, due to an arti- dcial dehation in values, is to be over come
 The channels of commerce" said MT. Wannansaker, which have been stagnated for the past 10 months, must be opened and normal trade relations re-established The forces which had the power to stagnate commerce and restrict world credits must also have the power to reopen commerce and establish credits.
 Experts of raw cotton must be stimulated and the resumption of con- sumption must be revived, in oroer that markets may be opened and tne ME nf fbG T J9t [ giving his statistics the sueaker said
 Enforced defation in values, re strictions of credits and exports, have thrown back the machinery of cotton production on a limited scale of 25 years ago. This will ultimately result in an intense shortage of supplies to meet the oncoming revival of the world spindle capacity.
 Tn addition to the acreage redue- ton of 1921, we find that on account of the inability of farmers to secure credits for either moneys or supplies for the cultivation of their crops, the cotton acreage abandoned after plant ing viii break all records of the past, there being now an acreage abandon ment of 1 95 per cent, and this will be largely increased
 Defending the action of the associa- tion in it's acreage reduction cam paign, MT. Wannamaker said that be- cause of existing conditions it would have been nothing short of suicidal to produce more than half crop of cot ton in 1921. The people of the South realized that their commercial life was in jeopardy, and practically the entire business life of the South joined us in this campaign"

TWO BIG LUMBER MILLS ARE ENTIRELY DESTROYED
 BY BLAZE.
FIRE ATTRACTS HUNDREDS
When Discovered, All Employees of the Company, Numbering More Than 700 Men, We're Put To Work
 Fighting the Flames.

Huttig.-A loss estimated at more than sl,000,000 was sustained recently by the Frost-Johnston Lumber Com. pany of New Orleans when it's two big lumber mills were destroyed by fire. The blaze originated in the kiIns. which were overloaded. Within five minutes the flames had spread over practically the entire plant.
 Besides the two sawmills, both of which are of large capacity, two dry Ing sheds, the fuel house, 10000, ,000 feet of cut lumber and the trans were destroyed. and the blaming mill was badly damaged. The plant covered an area of approximately 75 acres, the daily capacity of which was 30O000 feet.
 When the fire broke out, all em- ployes of the company, numbering more than TOO men. were put to work fighting the flames The company had it's own waterworks system, but the pressure was inadequate Dyna- mite was used, but this did not check the flames.
 Sparks from the burning plant flew in all directions, and the entire town was endangered. Several residences caught fire, but the flames were ex. tinguished before serious damage re- suited.
 The flames rapidly ate their way through the buildings and leaped to the huge stacks of lumber. A high wind assisted them in spreading, and greatly handicapped the fire fighters.
 The flames were visible for miles They leaped 40 or 50 feet into the air
 Several directors of the Frost-John- ston Lumber Company, who were at tending a meeting at St. Louis have left on a special train for Huttig.
 The company owns more than 60,- 900 acres of timber lands in unls sec- tion, and it is considered probable the plant will be rebuilt as soon as possi- ble The plant was established about IS years ago, and was one of the larg- est in southern Arkansas
 The heat from the burning plant was intense. and it was impossible to stand within several hundred feet of the two mills. Hundreds of people were attracted to the scene. A large crowd from Fl Dorado, about 35 miles northeast of Huttig, came here in au- tomobiles.
