snip since the Inflated fight of the
Shenandoah.
The uneasiness OF those waiting
for the ships arrival did not end
there. Lieutenant Gray. arising
from the breakfast table. told about
it.
Crew Also Was Worried
Shortly after leaving Dayton ON
Thursday night" he said. I'VE ran
INTO a heavy electrical and rain
storm. 1t was about forty miles
from Indianapolis. We encountered
electrical disturbances all night.
When we are in electrical storms
we usually are worried.
I'VE were driven north of orr
course about so miles and hung
over the Mississippi river until
dawn. We were not lost, for we
practically knew our bearings"
Dawn found the ship over Gran
lite City, Ills, north OF here. Scott
field is only a short way from
there.
Pitch Dark And Raining
THE night was SO black and thick
we could not see ahead of u.s." 1t.
Gray said. but we knew we were
not far from Scott field. The cars
are not enclosed and we became
soaked"
The engines functioned perfectly
through the night, Gray said, and
estimated that they had run about
Sc hours since the slip left its base
at Langley field. Virginia, Wednes-
day.
Accompanying Lieutenant Gray
were Lieutenant B. T. Starkey and
Warrant Officer R, E. Lassiter, who
served as pilots, and Sergeants
Quinn and Johnson, engineers. None
suffered ill effects of the nights
buffeting against the elements.
Worthiness Demonstrated
Gray said that rough weather was
desired for the flight OF the ship to
prove its ability to withstand the
elements. He accounted for the
success of the flight in the fact that
the TICS is shorter than the Shen-
andoah and OF non-rigid type.
Covered 1900 Miles
During the flight from Langley
field. Lieutenant Gray estimated that
the ship had covered 1900 miles, al
though a direct line is only about
$50 miles. The difference is ac-
counted for by deviations from the
course last night, yesterday and We'd
nesday night, when the TICS ran
into rough weather in the Ale
ghenys.
The gasoline supply had dwindled
to 1855 gallons when the ship was
pulled down this morning. The
blimp can carry 400 gallons, which
with full speed flying would last
about II hours.
Much Anxiety Was Felt.

INACCURACIES TOBACCO
REPORTING SERVICE

Establishment of a tobacco market
reporting service at Lynchburg, Va,
representing the Virginia dark to-
bacco district, and another at Lex
ington, KY, has been announced by
the Department of Agriculture. Other
markets are to be added to the ser
vice later in the season, the reports to
be distributed by a representative of
the department at each market.
Essential features of the reports
are that they represent typical mar
kets in recognized tobacco districts,
they are based on the types adopted
in the official classification of Ameri-
can grown tobacco, and they analyze
each weeks sales on the basis of of
fetal groups of grades. The groups
of grades follow closely the group
ings recognized by the tobacco trade,
so that by analysing the weeks sales
on this basis the selling price of to-
bacco suitable for different uses is
indicated.
The department quotes as an ex-
ample of the service report issued
at Lexington for the week ended De-
cember 8. High, low and average
prices paid to farmers for their leaf
given in cents per pound, were indi-
Gated as follows:
Group A wrapper grades) 81, 25,
20.
Group B (ugs or filler grades) 81,
8, IA.
Group C (lugs or cutters) 80, 10,
23.
Group x (trash or stemming) 80,
IL, Is.
Group Y (flyings or spods) Is, 2,
10.
Total sales of the week were re-
ported at 1,553,0OO pounds compar-
ed with 100000 pounds sold to the
same date last year, and the average
price per pound of all sales 16 cents,
compared with % Id cents the aver
age of sales to the same date last
season.

Farmers are Urged
To Diversity Crops

Atlanta, Ga.-Diversification is the
thing that the southern farmer must
practice in order to reduce the cost
of the cotton crop, in the opinion of
officials of the Georgia Department
of Agriculture. This is no new ques-
ton confronting the farmers, it was
shown, and it came up long before
the war between the States, and will
likely come up again, it was stated.
Officials of the department show
that by reducing the cost of produc-
ton and broadening the uses of cot
ton Systematically, the South will
come into great prosperity.
what difference does it make to
farmer what corn or meat is SELL
ing at if his smokehouse is full of
meat that he raised himself and his
crib is full of homegrown corn? is
the query put by one Georgia editor.
Ii you should ask what these COM
modltles cost him to raise, that might
be horse of another color. Posi-
bly,, they cost too much, but most like
ly they cost him about half what he
would have to pay for them in the
West"
Agricultural leaders here call at
tention to the fact that where far
mer raises cotton with supplies he
has made himself, he is perfectly in
dependent and can keep his cotton in
the warehouse until the price goes to
where he wants it.

GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

time to help prevent repetition OF
the present situation. The farmers
realize that they have produced too
much cotton, that they lose money
with the policy in vogue. There is a
shortage of labor in some sections,
production per acre is low and pro-
duction costs too high. The psyche
logical moment has come. 1t is time
to strike. Will we lost the oppor-
tunity.
The Georgia State College of Ag-
riculture is doing all it can to stim-
ulate interest in larger yields of cot
ton on fewer acres. The college is
conducting "More and Better Cot
ton per Acre" contest this year, not
to produce more cotton, but to pro-
duce more cotton per acre on fewer
acres. There are about 800 farmers
enrolled in the contest. They will be
gaded 60 percent on total yield and
400 percent net profit, on five acres
of cotton. The fertilizer manufac-
turers of Georgia contributed $1,000
for state prizes and county prizes
have been contributed to the value OF
$4,000. While results of the contest
have not been tabulated, many cred
table yields will be made and despite
the low price of cotton some large
profits per acre will be seen.
In 1927, this Five Acre Cotton
Contest will be staged on a much big.
ger scale. Announcement of the de.
tails of the contest will be made at a
later date. Bankers, business men,
fertilizer companies and other agen.
cies could accomplish no greater ser.
vice for themselves and for their
communities than to make deter.
mined effort to crystalline sentiment
in favor of concentrating on small
acreages of cotton and large econom-
ic yields per acre. 1t is the basis
that we are gradually being forced
to. Why not get to it right away
and enjoy the prosperity that will re.
suit from it. One or two agencies
can't do the job alone, but with
everybody working and pulling to.
gether we can do the job. Will we
do it?
