 Some Trace of Lieut.. Com. Ely
 sou and His Two Companions.
 Norfolk, Va, Feb. o9 R-An air plane with missing engine. flying at . very low altitude, was heard over Horn Harbor in Chesapeake Bay about 2:30 a. m. Monday morn- ing, navy officials searching for Commander Ellyson were informed today by Irvine Hudgins, a fisher man.
 Washington. Feb. 29 R - What was described by navy officials as the greatest aerial search ever made for missing men was pushed with renewed vigor today as fl aircraft secured the Chesapeake bay district for Commander T. G. Ellyson and his two companions.
 Virtually no clue as to what hay pened to them has been uncovered and although the search was being pursued relentlessly. the navy de- partment was slowly giving up hope that they would ever be found.
 All Regions Searched
 All regions of the Chesapeake were being subjected to the close scrutiny of naval, marine and army aviators. The non-rigid naval dirigible. the J-3, from Lakehurst, N. J., accompanied by one airplane. began the search of the northern waters of the bay and it's tribu- taries north of Annapolis early to- day.
 Eighteen airplanes from the air. plane carrier Lexington and the scouting fleet anchored off Hamp- ton Roads, resumed their explora- ton of the coast and waters of Vir- ginia, North Carolina and lower re- gions of the bay along with nine airplanes from the naval air sta ton at Hampton Roads. Eight naval planes. from the 2 Anacostia station swept low over 1 the eastern side of the bay and i've army planes inspected the western shore.
 Five marine planes from Quan- tco. Va, were searching the lower western bank
 The two army blimps from Lang- ley field, Va, cruised over the ter ritory in the vicinity of Old Point Comfort.
 Scarch Was Fruitless

No mother in this enlightened age
would give her baby something she
did not know was perfectly harmless,
especially when a few drops Of plain
Castoria will right a baby's stomach
and end almost any little i'll. Fretful-
ness and fever, too; it seems no time
until everything is serene.
That's the beauty of Castoria; its
gentle influence seems just what is
needed. 1t does all that castor oil
might accomplish, without shock to
the system. Without the evil taste
It's delicious! Being purely vegeta-
able, you can give it as often as
there's a sign Of collie; constipation;
diarrhea; or need to aid sound, nat
ural sleep.
Just one warning: it is genuine
Fletcher's Castoria that physicians
recommend. Other preparations may
be just as free from all doubtful drugs,
but no child of this writer's is going
to test them! Besides, the book on
care and feeding of babies that comes
with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its
weight in gold.

Agricultural Hints
,.O-s-O.s-O-s-OS-OS.s.,

Soy-bean hay as roughage is equal
ly as valuable in the ration as is the
seed.
The main thing In inoculating soy
beans is to make them real dirty with
the right kind of dirt.
Swiss chard belongs to the beet FAM
ily and is grown the same way-in
rows thinned 6 to II inches apart.
Potato growers have adopted trac-
tor and gas engine driven potato dig
gers rapidly during the past season.
Treating fence posts with creosote
makes many kinds of wood posts last
20 or more years. The treatment
costs but little.
Let the hoe be your garden putter,
brassie and niblick, for half an hour
a day, and you will surprise yourself
with a NEEDLESS garden.
Peatland barley is a rough awned
six-rowed variety that Is particularly
free from disease and well adapted
to growing on peat lands.
Grape arbors can be used to make
the farm home grounds attractive, say
Pennsylvania State college architects.
Plan the location of these arbOrs so
that they will fit in with the surround
ings.

Drought Is Not
Always Harmful

Crop May Be Ample
for Another.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The term drought" as applied 60
a lack of moisture In the soil for prop
er plant growth, embraces many con-
ditions which differ with each type
of agriculture What may constitute
insufficient moisture for one sort OF
crop, or one part of the country, may
be ample for another crop grown In
different soil or in a different climate,
says the weather bureau of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture.
In the East, where precipitation Is
usually well distributed, period OF
30 days without beneficial preciplta.
ton constitutes drought, whlch
would be especially bad If the suDsou
were not well supplied with moisture
at the beginning of the drought period.
Over the Pacific coast states possible
drought is chiefly in the colder half or
the year.
Hurts Nonirrigated Crops.
A generally dry winter season may
be disastrous to nonirrigated crops.
In the central valleys and Great
plains, drought during the early spring
months will greatly diminish the
wheat yield, and drought in midsum-
mer brings disaster to the corn crop.
A short period of drought in the east
ern part of the country during the
early spring months will frequently
greatly curtail the hay crop, but may
not seriously injure wheat; In fact,
it may prevent excessive straw
growth. A period of drought may be
beneficial to corn in its early growth,
forcing the roots to greater depths.
Drought of short duration may be
quite disastrous to corn when it fol-
lows wet period Immediately pre-
ceding the formation of the ear, when
abundant moisture is required. Ii
previous wet weather. has caused the
root system to develop near the sur
face, the supply of moisture available
in the subsoil may. not be reached in
time to prevent loss.
May Benefit Cotton.
Moderate drought is not always as
ISOLATED with Scanty production. 1t
may prove beneficial to cotton by him
dering the activity of insect pests that
do not multiply in dry weather. If
the cotton plant remains somewhat
dormant during drought and resumes
growth promptly when moisture is
supplied, the crop may develop after
the period of worst insect infestation
is over.
Early droughts are particularly
detrimental to most truck and small
fruit crops, as growth and develop
ment of these are usually rapid and
any material interruption is decidedly
} harmful.

Development of a Plan
Needed for Good Garden

The first step toward making sue
cessful garden is the development Of a
plan showing the general arrangement,
direction of rows and area devoted to
the different crops. More economical
use may be made of the area avail
able by planning for succession, COM
panion and intercropping. For exam
pie, a crop of late beets may be planted
after a crop of early peas have been
harvested or crop of lettuce may be
raised between the tomato plants and
gathered before the tomato plants
need all the space. Fresh peas, beans
and corn may be had over longer
period by making several paintings at
intervals of two weeks or by planting
early, mid-seasOn and late varieties.
The likes and dislikes of the MEM
bers of the family should be cOnsid-
cred and selections made accordingly.

Tanning Mill to Clean
Seed Most Satisfactory

A few hours spent indoors cleaning
seed with a tanning mill may save
many days in the hot sun next sum-
mer and will pay handsome dividends
in the form of bigger and better crops.
A farm tanning mill operated at the
correct speed and equipped with the
proper sleeves and screens is capable of
doing an excellent job of cleaning clio
yer, alfalfa and other seeds. Since
experiments have shown that the main
object of cultivation after the prepara-
ton of the seed bed is the eradication
of weeds, and since most weeds are
introduced by means of impure seed,
the use of cleaned seed will save a
great deal of future work. The value
of good tanning mill in cleaning
farm seeds has been demonstrated by
hundreds of farmers.
