Globe-Circling Flight
To Begin March IS
From Los Angeles

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Los
Angeles has been selected by the
army air service as the starting
point for the attempted around-the.
World-flight. Original plans to be-
gin the fight from Seattle, Wash.
or Washington, D. c., have been
modified, accordingly.
Major General Patrick, chief of
the Army air service, announced the
altered program today and said the
attempt to enCircIe the globe would
begin about March 10 from the Cali
fornia city. The probable route from
Los Angeles to Seattle, he said.
would be along a line east of the
MoJaVe desert, over the San JOAQUIN
Valley to San Francisco, to Sacra
mentO and from there to Ashland
and Eugene, Oregon, to Seattle.
This decision was arrived at"
General Patrick said, because the
airplanes to be used in the flight
are now at Clover Field, Santa
Monica, about Is miles from Los
Angeles. BY starting from this
point about March Is, the aviators
will have the opportunity to test
their motors, planes and instru.
ments in flying up the coast and
they will be at the farthest possible
point in Alaska to hop across the
Pacific at the first open weather."

FARMERS SHORT
COURSE ATTRACTS
CROWD To ASHBURV

ASHBURN, Ca, Jan. 31.-The
short course for the farmers OF
Turner county opened promptly
Monday morning at the school audi
torium, and in spite of the cold
weather the bright sunshine brought
out a good attendance of Turner
county citizens. S. w. Brown, presi-
dent of the farm bureau, presided
over the morning session.
County Agent H. b. Rails intro
duced Rev. c. G. Earnest. Mr.. Roles
said that in the earnest pursuit of
our farm programs the first and
most vital thing was our duty to
God.
Mr.. Earnest gave short talk
on the agriculture of the Bible, sub
Stimulating his remarks by Scripture
readings from the Scriptures. Rev
Earnest then led in prayer.
Chairman Brown introduced C. A.
Cobb. editor of the Southern Rural
ist, of Atlanta, who gave a splendid
| address on farm management. Mr..
Cobb indorsed the Turner county
plan as the only plan by which
the farmers of the county could win
success, and urged that each and
every man do a he has planned"
and stick to the plan for five years
as the shortest length of time in
which real results could become
fixed
c. L. Williamson, secretary of the
Atlanta Credit Mems association,
spoke on THE Basis of Credit" He
said credit was based on confidence,
capacity and character, and that the
Turner county plan was a good
basis Of credit.
S. H. Starr, director Of the coastal
plains experimental station, at the
afternoon session, led a discussion
on, ''How to Raise Cotton Under
Boil Weevil Conditions" He said
the only remedy was arsenate, the
only question being the preparation
that was best. He told how the
experiment station had tested out
four different preparations, and
judging from one years experience
he himself favored homemade mix
ture of three gallons Of water, one
gallon Of syrup and three pounds of
arsenate, to be used on young cot
ton before squaring, followed by
busting of arsenate.
Very emphatically he urged that

that it be well fortified and well

L. V. Davis, Of the State College
of Agriculture, spoke on the Proper
Use Of Fertilizers. He favored the
use Of home mixed fertilizers when
the materials can be handled in car
load lots on a cash basis.
At the same time that this pro
gram was in progress at the school
auditorium, a discussion on nutrition
was held for women at the rooms
of the Woman's club by Miss Susan
Matthews, nutrition expert of the

CORN WINNING FAME FOR
THE TREASURE STATE

Charles ID. Greenfield, agricul-
turaI development agent in Mon
tana for the Great Northern rail-
road, who has but recently return
ed from a trip through the east,
says that Montana's fame as a corn
producing state is winning the in
terest of the corn farmers operat-
ing on the h~igh-priced lands of the
middle west.
"Montana's proven ability to
produce corn which is the equal of
that crown in the older and more
famous corn belt of the United
States, is attracting the attention
of a fine class of farmers in the
middle western states" says Mr.
Greenfield, land Montana may ex-
pect to receive q large number of
new settlers from there in the fu-
ture.
1.-THE corn exhibits which the
Great Northern railroad, through
its agricultural department., has
placed in many towns and cities
through the last have proved to be
most important from a publicity
standpoint, because they attract
the attention of the class of farm
ers that Montana is anxious to in
terest, that is, farmers who have
sufficient funds and equipment to
enable them to get a running start
in whatever new country they may
elect to go to-"
Mr.. Greenfield said one of the
things which impressed him in the
east was the appalling ignorance
of the people of that section re-
garding the actual resources not
only of Montana but of the whole
northwest.

TEN CORN GROWERS REPORT
ON CORN COST PER ACRE

Ten Rich1and county corn growers,
working in cooperation with the
county agents office, report an aver
age labor cost of s5.61 in growing an
acre of 1928 corn. The records were
kept on demonstration fields ranging
from five to nine acres, and covered
such operations as blowing, harrow
ing, dragging, planting and cultiva-
ton.
In computing the labor cost the
following bases of charges were used:
So for one man and six horses for
10 hours, 81 for one man and four
horses for 10 hours, Sc for one man
and two horses for 10 hours and SO
for one man for 10 hours.
The record shows that the labor
cost of growing an acre of corn does
not vary much among any of the
growers.

USE HOT BED TO
GROW CELERY
(From Montana State COLLEGE


HELERY growing in Montana
promises to take on a new lease
- of life with the discovery by the
Montana Experiment Station that the
tendency for celery plants to go to
seed apparently is brought on by low
temperatures, either in the green
house, hotbed, or after the plants
have been set out. With this infor-
nation, farmers and gardeners with
greenhouses or hot beds, by which
temperatures may be maintained, can
feel reasonably sure of success in
growing celery.
In the tests carried on at the Ex-
pertinent Station three greenhouses
were used and different temperatures
maintained in each. In the house
where the temperature during the
day was rs and at night SIS degrees
there was no premature seeding of
plants. Where the temperature rang
ed from SIS degrees during the day to
So degrees at night, three per cent
of the plants seeded. In the house
where the temperature was allowed
to go down to so degrees and below
a very large percentage of the plants
went to seed. The experiments also
indicated that a single short expos
ure to cold would not necessarily
bring about seeding, and that a fair
ly prolonged cold spell or repeated
cold spells were necessary to produce
this result.
From the results of these expert
ments then, it would seem successful
celery culture in Montana depends
primarily upon the temperature con-
ditions under which the young plants
are started. Those buying celery
plants for their gardens, therefore,
have a right to inquire as to the way
the plants were grown in the green
house or hotbed. If the plants were
subjected to low temperatures it is
not worth while to attempt to grow
them.
Because of the danger of low tenn
perature it is not advisable to place
celery plants in cold frames for a
-ong hardening off period. Not that
he plants will be unable to with
stand a little cold weather but be-

Such conditions which were pre-
iously considered the causes of the

remedy rich or poo soils, checking

running when plants are set out, and
anking plants too early, were not
