Der.
Head Southwest.
In the air we head southwest and
climb to 10000 feet. The country
looks like it will fiatten out for awhile,
so we drop ! 900 feet. About the only
difference between this and the Chey-
enne-Rock Springs jump is that this
is fatter and has more SagebruSh.
AS we fly on the mountains come
closer, preceded by some baby noun
tains, babies compared with the
towering ones around us. standing si-
lently and still defiant against the eff
forts of man to conquer them. They
have been conquered at last by the
airplane, although at times the giants
put up a pretty stiff fight and some
times score a victory. For Is minutes
we follow the railroad, squirming in
and out of the mountains and then 1t
is getting bumpy. We are up to 10000

the wing and the top of the peak. yet
the altimeter read 10" About 5
miles to the left is a peak several
hundred feet higher than we are, and
we can see the thick snow about it..
We are hedge hopping" over the
mountains. We seem to be moving
very slowly up here in the submits of
the Rockies, and suddenly we come
close to a peak, and it goes by like
a flash. We sail by two more white

and it was undamaged, there isn't a
place to take off. If we get over this
run of mountains We'll make the

Strike Difficult Passage.
This train of pessim mistic thought is
suddenly interrupted by a series of
violent jerks-bumps and a bumper
crop of them. The skiper doesn't let
the old boy ride them out this time.
He works like trooper to keep from
being tossed into the side of a noun
tain. The 5000 or more pound plane
might as well be piece of tissue
paper on a stormy sea. And in addi-
ton to this the pilot must fly a
course-where there is one the pas
senger doesn't know; everything
ahead is snow-capped pinpoint noun
tain peaks. We don't even know what
direction we are going in. 1t is impos-
sible to make notes, the ship won't

on paper. We think we're having
pretty tough time. Yet the boys fly this
course when it is showing and raining,
and the only way they accomplish 1t
is to run the wheels almost on top of
the railroad tracks and squeeze
through narrow canyons. The New
York to -Bellefonte flight is piker.
A look down over the left side OF
the ship from 10000 feet reveals
fertile valley, planted in small farms,
but it is small; in fact, 1t just gets
by in the valley class. But therein lies
the first green cultivation we've seen
since Nebraska. We now fly up into
the ':V" of the canyon and are ap-
preaching the converging walls of
mountains. Peaks flash by my cockpit
so close we feel we could reach out
and grab handful of snow.
The radiator continues to leak; we
wonder If we have any water left; per
haps Wen soon find out. But the
Liberty sings in uninterrupted tone
The roar is sonorouS and soothlng.
A break in that smooth drone would
cause a few "cut-outs' in the regular
beats of certain heart above the
State of Utah. We go over the 'bllnd
valley" formed by the "N"-shaped
mountains Another high mountain is
ahead, with it's summit buried In the
clouds. Now and then we get blast
of chill air from the snow. A little
opening or pass presents itself, and
the skipper goes through 1t. Midway
through this opening we look TO the
left and see about eight ridges run
ming to raZor-edge points and parallel
with each other, while to the right
there are two long ridges running
side by side.
See Salt Lake City.
And Just as we cross over we are
almost stunned to see Salt Lake City
laid out at our very feet. 1t is as
though we had come over the crest of
a hill and looked down into valley.
1t was a surprise and welcome one.
The bumps make a final effort to
get us and we knock about on the top,
fighting for freedom, and then the
throttle Is reduced and a long glide
into the city begins. Across this val
ley is another high range and to the
northwest lies Salt Lake, a beautiful
green body of water. The tops of the
mountains opposite the city are buried
in black storm clouds. The descent
is slow, because we have about 5000
feet of space between us and the
ground We come down in wide cir
cIes and land at the mail field at 2:13

soon is disturbed by the breaking of
the mountain storm. The wind blows
a gale. stirring up clouds of dust, and
the rain pours. Lightning flashes and
the skipper and the passenger go into
executive session. emerging a second
later with the decision to stay over,
have a new radiator installed and re-
move the compass from the rear
cockpit, which had been leaking kero-
sene for the last $50 milest' Examina-
ton of the radiator revealed we had
lost two gallons of water on the trip
over.
1t required two hours Of flying to
make the jump from Rock Springs TO

also, fortunately, will be into the

rowly misses one of the field border
lights. The skipper stops the ship just
in time to prevent the lower panel of
the wing from knocking the light to
pieces and perhaps doing the wing

BOIL WEEV|L FIGHT
AIM OF NEW FIRM
Private Company Formed.
Will Use Planes to
Spray Fields.

The despised boil weevil, which has
been held responsible far the destruc-
tion of cotton crops valued at millions
of dollars in this country, has at
tracted attention of private capital in
a way that promises to lead to the
creation of new industry, having
the extinction of the boil weevil as its
chief object.
Secretary Weeks says that he
has been informed that private
company has been organized and
would equip itself with specially con-
strurted aircraft. carrying apparatus
designed for spraying cotton fields
with chemicals which had proved
their value and pest poisons and
would go into the business of killing
boil weevil at Il fixed price per acre
of ground.
Expert ments already conducted by
the Army Air Service In cooperation
with the Department of Agriculture,
Mr.. Weeks said, had proved positively
that the eradication of the boil weevil
by chemicals sprayed from aircraft
was practical undertaking and
should yield profitable returns to a
private commercial agency set up for
that purpose.
In addition to the benefit cotton
growers might receive from an in
dustry such as that proposed, the
war Secretary said, il also should
have value to the aeronautical in
dustry as a whole, giving it an ex-
tended use for aircraft and supply
ing new commercial market In
recent conferences held here with Is
leading aircraft manufa cturers of the
country, Mr.. Weeks said, he had been
advised that 95 per cent of their
Evening star., 1925-01-16

orders at the present time came from
the Government. principally from the
Army, Navy and Post Office Depart
ments, and that either outside patron
age or increased Government pur-
chase of aircraft was necessary IL the
manufacturing industry of that prod
uct was to survive in a general way
In the United States.
Army Air Service officials, question
ed regarding the creation of the pri-
vate concern mentioned by the War
Secretary in connection with the boil
weevil, said they understood the COM
pany was being organized In New
York State. 1t was understood to be
the purpose of the company to use
chemicals similar to those prepared
by the Army Chemical Warfare Serv-
Ice. and which have been success
fully sprayed on cotton folds in some
of the worst infested regions of cot
ton-Erowing States during the past
year or so.
Extensive experiments with air
planes to spread boil weevil poison
have been conducted by the Depart
ment of Agriculture with consider
able success. In cooperation with
the Army Air Service, agents of the
department laid poison clouds over
several plantations in Louisiana.
only casual obSrr> it.u..S were
made as tn tn "Ffcrt on III" %, i hrt
1t was recorded that cotton which
was busted developed better than
that not busted on adjoining farms.
The tests mainly concerned the prac-
ticability of fighting the pest from
the air.
The airplane experimental with
various poisons and methods of dis
charging them. 1t was learned that
there was little danger of poisoning
live stock or humans and that spread
of the dust clouds could be well con-
trolled. Value of the planes follow
ing a rain was clearly demonstrated,
the department said
