j. s. SEAPLANES
FAVORED To
WIN RACE
Britain to Defend Schneider
Cup in international
Meet at CoWes.

COWES, Eng. Sept. 5.-Two hun
ored miles an hour is the speed
which, it il expected, will be at
tanned by seaplanes on September
% and %, when Britain faces inter
national rivals for the Schneider
cup.
All four of the American officers
who have arrived, and who will fly
government machines, expect to
attain this speed. If they do, then
the cup will leave Britain speedily.
Last year the cup was won by
the Napier-engined seaplane Sea
Lion II. Piloted by Captain Baird,
her maximum speed was 145.'
miles per hour, rate which will
stand no chance on the forthcon-
ing occasion. Against the Ameri-
can service machines, with engines
ranging from 240 to $50 horsepower
and including two Curtiss engines
of about 400 horsepower, the British
machines appear to stand little
chance.
In all there will be eleven ma
chimes taking part-three British,
three American, three French and
two Italian. The course decided
upon is from the point of Cewes
down to Selsey, along the front OF
Parade Pier and back to Cowes.
The course of 37.2 nautical miles is
covered five times to make a total
racing distance of 1876 nautical
miles.
The italian machines will start
first, and at intervals of fifteen
minutes, will be followed by the
machines Of America, Great Britain
and France.
British entrants will be:
The supermarine Sea Lion II,
which won the race last year.
A new machine that is being
constructed by the Blackburn Aero
pane Company of Leeds.
A Sopwith machine being con-
structed by the Hawker Company.
Ten years have passed since the
Schneider cup was inaugurated,
and the temperance of a Sopwith
entry is interesting, for it was on q
Eopwith seaplane, at Monaco, that
the race was first won. 49,.
The competition is a very diff
cult one. 1t includes, in addition to
the race, a "nayigational test" On
September 81 the machines are to
take off from the water, alight
twice and taxi on the water for
about half a mile at q maximum
speed of twelve nautical miles per
hour.
After this they are required to
fly back to the starting base and
remain at special mornings, with
out anyone on board, for six hours.
If they cannot remain afloat for
this period they are out of the race.
There is much speculation as to
how the American machines will
stand the navigational test; If they
come through successfully the speed
test will be q wonderful race.

FARMERS HARD
HIT BY GRAIN
LOSSES
Survey Shows Wheat Cost II
Cents Over Sale Price to
Produce-Oats, S Cents.
By GEORGE r.. HOLMES,
International News Service.

While the plight of the Amer
lean farmer has long been a wall
in the land. it remained for the
Federal Government to announce
today just how hard the agricul-
turist has been hit in the past
year.
After careful survey which
has taken months and which COW
cred some 1000 grain farms from
the Alleghenies to the Rockies,
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
has found that:
The American farmer actually
lost IL cents on every bushel or
wheat he raised in 1922. his loss on
bushel of oats was cents. and
only on one staple grain-corn-did
he manage to show a profit. There
was a favorable margin of Z cents
between the cost of producing corn
and it's selling price.
In this brief announcement, off,
Gals pointed out, lies the whole
story of the great political unrest"
which has prevailed throughout
rural United States for the last
scores of regular office-holders,
and the election of scores of So
called progressives and radicals.
Covers Three Staples.
The survey of the Department
covered only the three staple grains
of the Middle Western farmer
wheat, corn and oats. Concerning
the production cost and selling
<>f {
1.-THE average cost of producing
an acre of wheat on 2,4O0 farms
was $19.6S. The average yield was
is bushels per acre, making the
cost per bushel $1.23. The average
sale value of the wheat reported
was Sill.
THE average cost of producing an
acre of corn on 3,400 farms was
$23.01. The average yield was thirty.
five bushels per acre, making the
cost per busheI Sc cents. The aver.
age value of corn sold was 70 cents
per bushel.
THE average cost of producing an
acre of oats on $500 farms was
$17.40. The yield per acre was
thirty-three bushels, and the cost
per bushel So cents. An average
selling price of 48 cents per bushel
was reported"
Figures Explained.
In arriving at production costs, the
department allowed a percentage of
SO per cent in the case of corn. 46
per cent in wheat, and so per cent in
oats, for the labor in preparing the
ground, planting, harvesting and
marketing the product.
1.-THE cost figures" said the de-
partment, include charges for the
labor of the operator and his family
and for use of the land. Where the
price received for the product was
less than cost. either the farmer did
not receive going wages for his time,
or did not receive for the use Of his
land an amount equal to cash rental
value.
Although the figures are ap.
plicable only to the farms reporting,
they are suggestive of general con.
ditions in 1922"
