Made Great Display At the Congress
Held Last Week In st. Paul.
The Mankato Holstein Farms
herd figured well in the prize win
nings at the National Dairy show
this being one of the strongest dis
plays of live stock that has ever
been brought together, according to
Mr.. w. e. Skinner, who has been
manager of this great show for the
past thirteen years.
Cattle were on exhibit from all
parts of the United States and Can
ada, and there was keen competition
in each and every class. There were
103 exhibitors of Holstein cattle,
showing just Over 300 animals,
which would average only three ami
mails to one exhibitor. This shows
with what care the cattle we're Sc
lected.
There were twenty one first prizes
awarded, and these, we divided
among thirteen exhibitor. Only FIVE
exhibitors won more than one first
prize, the Mankato Holstein Farms
company being one of these five.
l"6u(y -One SALllUlJOTS WON d uTSL VI
a second prize. and only thirteen out
of the 103 were able to win as high
as third prize, and any one get
ting in the prize money at all cohld
consider himself fortunate.
The Mankato Holstein Farms win
nings were as follows: Two first
prizes, one third, two fou-ths, one
fifth, two sixths, one seventh and
our eighth. Mankato Flora Ormsby
won first prize as A. r. o.
COW with her record made under five
years of age. Ruby Karen Mercedes
won first prize in the A. r. o. class
with two of he- offspring. Fourth
prize was also won in this A. R. o.
class on De Kol Korndyke Ormsby
second shown with two of her off

es as they combine production with
individuality, and certain points Civ
en- for butter production, the animal
winning highest score on combined
points is declared the winner.

The cars shortage situation is not
relieved to any extent and growers
throughout the state are appealing
constantly to the Minnesota com
mission tor help, before their pota~
toes rot or freeze, the commissioner
said. The growers, Mr.. jacobson
said, are faced with heavy financial
losses and unless this product can
be moved, practically the entire crop
will be lost
Mr.. Jacobson, in cooperation with
the state agricultural department
and the extension department OF
the University of Minnesota is in
structing farmers to pit their pota
toes and hold them until such time
as railroadl equipment is available
In this way, the farmers, will at
least, save a portion of their invest
ment and will not suffer total loss
which they would if the potatoes
were left on the ground, he said.
Mr. Jacobson in his wire to Com
missioner Aitchison urges the
members to visit Minnesota and see

AMAZED
OVER AERIAL FEAT
Selfridge Field Tests Were
Very Surprising
GREATESTSPEED MADE
Human Being Plunged Through
Air at 400 Feet Second;
Planes Minus Wings.

Mt. Clemans, Mich, October IL
Aeronautical engineers and army
and navy experts at Selfridge Field
were specializing today as to what
might be the next unheard of aerial
feat. They came here a week ago
prepared for surprises but none had
expected to see a human being
plunge through space at nearly 400
feet a second, nor had they expect
ed to see an aeroplane flown vir-
tually without the aid of wings.
This was the performance yester-
day of Lieutenant r. l.. Vaughan of
the army, who on Saturday won the
Pulitzer aero classic flying a Cur
ISIS army bi-plane, with which he
was victorious Saturday. Leuten-
ant Vaughan yesterday travelled one
hlometer at the rate of 24S.5 miles
an hour, SURPRISING by more than
thirty two miles an hour, the pre-
vious official record and making the
distance twenty eight miles an hour
faster than any unrecogniZed mark
previously recorded.
The pilots great speed was even
surpassed in the opinion of some
of the engineers, by his flight with
out wings"
PyIon Work Startling
During the Pulitzer race Leuten-
ant Maughan's Pylon work startled
many pilots on the field. At more
than 200 miles an hour, he would
tilt his machine on one side for a
considerable distance then complete
the 120 degree turns upside down.
This aroused speculation as to the
disc a machine might be flown on
it's side, a position in which the
planes had little or nothing to do
with keeping it in the air. Lieuten-
ant Vaughan demonstrated by a
fight across Selfridge Field, dis
lance of about mile, that under
certain conditions a plane might be
flown in that position for a much
greater distance than usually is re-
quired in making turns.
Tests Will Continue
1t appeared that the speed of the
powerful motor was sufficient to
pull the machine through the air
and at the same time hold it aloft.
The feat probably will have an i'm
portant bearing on future wing de-
sign, 1t was said.
The plane, built by the Curtiss
corporation, mounts a 400 horse
power Curtiss engine and is similar
In design to the machines that fin
ished in the first four places in the
Pulitzer trophy race.
The performance convinced serv
ice observers, they declared that
development of aircraft was still
far from its peak, and that there
was virtually no limit to the speed
that might be attained. The govern
;ments tests are to be continued for
several days.
