Trend Toward Left In
 Municipal Elections

B Tts Assorated PIrss
 Paris, May l1.-Victory for the government parties in the second ballotinE or the municipal elections yesterday was freely conceded by the opposition this morning without awaiting tho official tabular returns. Al the same time bitter criticisms were made that il vas won with the aid Of the extremists. The returns confirm the accentuatcd trend 10 the Jeff already manifested in tho first balloting week ago
 The municipal elections are bound 10 have certain effect on the cleo uons in 1927 Of one-third Of the scn- ate, as inc senatorial electors are drawn for large part from the city councils, and fl the vote went sc- cordlng 10 yesterdays indications the government would find itself considerably strengthened in tho upper house.
 Political observers however. point out that the city elections arc not fought altogether on political lines; parochial issues and personalities enter into the contests 10 some ex- tent. The left parties, they believe owe their victory mainly to well pre- served party discipline which result. cd in all the votes bein gUsed 10 tho best advantage.

when dirlgible passes overhead; indeed, they cannot pass overhead often enough, tho sight being greatly impressive, We once saw the Shcn- Qndoah float majestically over Now York City and 1t was safe to con- clude thero wasn't a single person In the vast audience of 6,O0O,000 who felt any misgivIngs about the vessel suddenly plunging on tho proud slyscrapors, So far as these diriGiblos are concerned, ltfe upon them seems to be safer than on city streets,
 One can imagiu" the emotions of the natives in the hintorlnnd of Porto Rico upon sight Of the great sky vessel; or the emotions of the natives in the rural counties along the coast during the recent trip north from Florida The sight Of this atrShip must have been as i'm prossi,e as tho sight of an outomo- bile 95 years ago.
 The question then arises what will be the sky outlook 25 years hence?

America is becoming the greatest dirgible constructing nation on earth and only the fact that it takes time 10 construct these air monsters has kept that fact from being more generally recognized.
 Government air mail routes are being rapidly extended; the time will soou he here when all poru- Ious sections Of 'he country will be adequately served. The use of air ships by tho Ford interests have given them a higher standing in commercial usage, tho opinion be- ing general thet the Ford interests would not have adopted them with out realizing their reliability.

 NEA Service Writer

Washington, May 11.--Congress- man Martin l.. Davcy of Ohio esti- mates or, as he puts 1t, guesscs-- that American could double her farm production if she tried. Few farmers, even, have studied the soil as Davcy has. He calls himself a tree surgeon" I think tree doc tor" fits better. with the emphasis on "trec dietctcs."
 Of course, if tree needs an op- eration, DaIey operates. He has 10 be something of general prac- titiOncr. Aborcal medicine IS young. IL hasn't reached the stage Of much specialization. But in tue main, it seems to me that Davey prefers doctoring 10 the knife. Like most good doctors, he con- ccrns himself principally with what his patients cat, depending little on drugs.
 Trees bread and butter. meat and potatoes. cake and ice cram are the soil, with little favorIng and s few rplishcs which they absorb from the air. So, as tree dietician, nav2y studies the soil.
 Farmers study inc soil, too, but Dayey's sturdy has 10 he more thorough than theirs. For a tree has such an appetite, "lis only a hie plant, after ali" observes Davcy. Yes, but whereas a plant like a stalk of grain requires only cubic inches Of soil, a tree re- Quires cubic yards. It follows that Davey has 10 go into it more deeply--in the literal as well as the nguratiyc sense-than almost any body except a miner or prose cutor drilling for oil, Thus what he knows about the soil is the last word,
 As an expert, then, Da>oy points out that very little soil remains on earth which isn't already being farmcd. As for this country, "all 'he land available for cultivation and not now cultivated" he says lis about equal 10 tho state o' Illinois. When this additional land is reduced 10 cultivation there will be no moro
 American farmers are cold towar1 the suggestion Of increased croT production just now, With a sur plus alroady-or what Davry calls an apparent surplus"-they ask j Why raise more?" Our present day problem" they say at the aeri cultural department, "is one O marketing. Production will tak' care Of itself"
 But our increasing population? Davcy urges "Whcn we reach th' subsisic cncc limit-What then?' That win be a long time" answe some. Jess than a generation judging from the past insist Davey. Tn my own short life l haN' Seen farm after farm abandoned, eH hausted, that in my youth produce excellent crops."
