Quoted under the auspices of the
University of Maryland, will end its
forty-first year. on July i. This
station has had much influence in
developing the growing of fruit on
a commercial scale in the western

ton of the farmers.
During the Al years Of operation
of the station the average yield OF
wheat in the state has been raised
from 1873 bushels to the acre to
1911 bushels, while hay yield has
increased from lis tons to the acre
to 1.43 tons.
The station has ISSUED 800 bulle.
tins setting forth the results Of It's
experiments and Investigations.
These bulletins cover practically
every phase Of farming.
It is the policy of the station to
supervise investigations and expert.
ments in various sections Of the
State. At the present time investi-

lDEA' BALLOONS
CREDITED TO
TEACHER

LEXINGTON, Va. June Ia
Eleven years ago this week, Lieut..
Matthew volm. Imperial German
infantry, stood watching a group
Of queer little balloons, made APP
,parentIy Of coIored paper, float to
the ground behind his lines. TO
each was attached six-foot thread
at the end Of which dangled q
packet of papers.
A German soldier ran up with
two of them and reported:
Millions of these are tloatlng
behind our lines. They stick IN
trees and come even into the
trenches. Lies are printed In Ger
man on the papers. See?
An Americans Idea
And back of the allied defense,
French and British intelligence off
GERS were sending up two and one
half millions of these tiny oil-paper
carriers each week. They were re.
leased to travel with dominant air
currents and timed to drop at speci-
fic distances in TeutonIc territory,
bearing messages to teach the Ger
man masses that the war was fought
for world freedom, not for allied
conquest. 81
1t was the idea OF an American
teacher, whose contribution to al
lied victory came to light this week
in connection with the retirement OF
DIR. Henry Louis Smith. president
of Washington and Lee University.
President Smith. physicist and me-
teorologist, who devised the plan IN
1918 for the American National De-
tense Council will retire at the close
of this year to writing and lecturlng.
after half century as an educator,
the last twenty-nine years of which
have, been spent as university
president.
Today, Lieutenant Volm. now
Prof. Volm of the German and
French languages at the Virginia
Military Institute, the campus OF
which adjoins that OF Washington
and Lee University. and President
Smith, who are neighbors in the &C
ademic calm of this little college
town, sat many thousands of kiio-
meters from the French battlefront
and recalled for a newspaper man
the planning and the effect OF the
"balIoon device" which furnished the
chief means of distributing the pub
licity which. George Creel, director
OF public information during the
war declared broke the German
morale in the summer of 1913.
For fourteen years before coming
to Lexington, DR.. Smith had served
as professor of physics and meteor
oloSy. He knew that north-tem-
perate air currents blow northeast,
ward almost continuously over Ger
many.
Found ON Prisoners
So he prepared map of the cur
rents and experimental with the es-
cape of gas through slightly porous
paper and other substances. Then
he proposed releasing large numbers
of these cosored paper and rubber
balloons. filled with coal gas and
hydrogen. Born by the air-drift.
each balloon would carry a message
over the enemy lines. These papers.
at the end of a two-yard thread.
would flutter conspicuously as the
carrier descended. Size and gas con-
tent was to determine the distance
travelled before the balloon settled
to earth.
Success was apparent when Ameri-
can officers found that eight out OF
every ten prisoners captured carried
Allied propaganda in their pockets.
Reports declared the literature well
thumbed."
