AIR NAVIGATION

Imaginative people look forward to
,he dav not far away when regular
Messenger airships will be crossing
,be oceans far more swiftly than any
steamship and with about as much
safety Put such shocking disasters
rs that to the Roma some days ago
and last August to the ZR-2. suggests
That that time is long distance
ahead yet.
The navigation of the air is an in
fnjtely more difficult problem than
water navigation ever was. If any
thing goes wrong with the machinery
ot 4 shin the vessel can simply stop
and signal for help. But if anything
happens to the machinery of an air
shjD she is at the mercy of the winds
and ir the case of heavier than air
craft. she must fall with crash.
Gradually these dangers will be
seen and obviated so far as the necu
liar conditions of air travel make pos
sible. But the present generation will
do most of its travel on solid ground
and ON the ships of the sea.

BACK TO THE FARM

# is reported by Mr. Getman. a spe-
cialist in agricultural education for
New York State, that 81 per cent. of
the students in the State schools of
agriculture, of which there are six,
come from cities, and that 80 per cent.
If the letters sent to the Bureau of
Farm Settlement of the State Depart
ment of Farms and Markets. in refer
rnce to the purchase of farms. come
from dwellers in the cities. This is an
ntimation that there is still longing
for the land even in the increasing
city populations.
But this same authority reminds us
that mere longing for the land is not
a qualification for its profitable cult
yatian The farm is no place for the
inefficient and inexperienced. The sue
rcssiul farmer. it would appear from
the demands now made of him. must
be the most versatile of vOcationists.
