HOP HELD SOUND UNDERTAKING
Erik Nelson and Jack Harding Approve
Projected Lindbergh Flight.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. June 5 (P.-The
projected flight over the North Pacific
Of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh
was described today by two flyers who
helped blaze the aerial trail over that
route, as a sound undertaking"
Harding of Seattle, Wash, members of
the 1924 Army round-the-world eX-
petition, said rapid mechanical pro-
gress in aviation in the past seven years
had greatly reduced flying hazards.
They added that uncertain weather
rather than any technical failure would
constitute the chief risk of the Lind
berghs proposed flight.
Point to Advancement.
"Look at the progress in engine build
motors which are obsolete now"
Look at plane construction" inter
rupted Harding. Now lighter, stronger,
more durable and more efficient aircraft
is available, the result of intensive ex-
Fermentation. We know pretty well
what all materials and types of con-
struction will do. That increases the
safety factor. A great deal has been
learned about Aging. and Col. Lindbergh
is one of the best"
''The Pacific was tough" Nelson said,
but the Atlantic was tougher. THINK
q route farther north in the Pacific
than we took would be even safer, for
the length OF the water jumps can be
reduced.
Safety Demonstrated.
"There is no saying that there are
not risks, but the inaneuvers which we
have just witnessed in the East by the
Army indicate how careful planning and
improved equipment can reduce hazards
to a minimum" Nelson declared. Ger
tainly the risks Col Lindbergh will face
do not compare with those he CHANGED
in his flight over the Atlantic"
Nelson and Harding stopped here en-
route westward with a group of Army
flyers returning to their base in Cali
fornia from the Eastern maneuvers.
They said they planned to return to
Seattle during the next week.

SCHNEIDER CUP
PLANES TO Be
MUCH LARGER
New Speed Mark in Race Is
Looked Upon as Diff
ficuIt Task.
By United Press

~ united Press
LONDON, June I0.-Predictions
that this years Schneider trophy
race for seaplanes will be won at
speeds exceeding 400 miles an hour
are believed by air experts to be
wide of the mark and that it is
more likely that the winners speed
for the 215-mile race will be but lit
tie above the 32S.63 miles an hour,
at which the late flying officer, H.
R. D. Waghorn won in 1929.
This probability of only a slight
increase in speed is due to the fact,
and also, paradoxically, because of
the fact, that this years engines
will be Of considerably higher power
than those used in the last race.
experts said.
With engines consuming fuel at
the rate Of nearly two gallons
minute, the problem of fuel weight
becomes an important matter.
In this years race, in addition
to the greater fuel requirements of
the more powerful engines, the
rules require that the taking-off
tests and navigability tests must
be included in the same flight as
the race, and without any refuel-
ing between tests and the race.
1t is self-evident, therefore, that
the fuel problem has imposed on
the designers an extraordinarily
difficult task.
In the subsequent attacks on the
worlds speed record over the
three-kilometer course, it is prob
able, however, that the record of
357.7 miles an hour, held by
Squadron Leader A. H. Orlebar. will
be beaten by a wide margin and it
is believed probable the record even
may be set above 400 miles an hour.
This great difference in the esti-
mate OF the average speed of the
Schneider course, and for the
three-kiloneter record is accounted
for largely by the comparatively
light weight of the fuel to be carried.

Most certainly not" came the
denial, coupled with snort Of anger

poor choice In the first place. Trees
vary greatly in their resistance to I'M
favorable city conditions. Our city
foresters have learned this fact by ex-
perience and plant with respect to the
environment, but in the outlying sub
urbs there are many examples of
poorly chosen trees. Silver maple, for
example, breaks up easily under severe
winds and very shortly the trees present
a decrepit appearance, whereas the
Norway or the sugar maple make fine
trees. Poplars are sometimes planted
that is obtained. Some of the oaks
make most excellent city trees, while
other species are less desirable.
Stepping stones are used to a con-
siderable extent in preference to solid
walks in the garden and are very salts

lawn mower can run directly over the
stones, making a clean sweep of the
grass. If one has to get down on the
knees and shear the grass between the
stones the added burden offsets the
beauty of the broken path.
Fertilizer is a necessity in the home
garden, but often causes considerable
injury through too abundant use. If
the truth were out there would be many
a home gardener that would have to
admit of having injured a plant now
and then with an over supply of
fertilizer. It is difficult to realize how
a small handful of material can be so
harmful In using fertilizer it is safer
to divide the applications, putting on a
little at time.

THE PLUMS.

There are an almost endless number
NJ xnecies of plums, some native to Asia
and Europe and several native to North
America. Generally speaking, however,
the home gardener is interested In only
q few of the many races, principally

CULTIVATION.

Every gardener is certain to learn
sooner or later that soil, particularly
heavy clay types. can be successfully
cultivated only at a certain period 1oi-
lowing heavy rains. If taken too wet,
the soil sticks together in Jumps which
remain after drying. However, II TILED
in the crumbly stage, the soil breaks
I'D nicely into small particles ana re-
mains in this condition until another
rain. Let the soil become baked a1ter
heavy rains and it is too late to obtain
q fine STATE of tillage. There is, there
fore, only a day or so when the SOIL
is uerfect for working. Once the nome
gardener has ascertaired this fact and
has learned to recognize the proper
stage, he has found way TO better
gardening at much less cost OF energy.
Heavy soils can be improved IN tex
%ure by the addition of various ma
terials. such as stable manure, peat
moss. lime and ashes. Stable manure
IL the best material Of all and II ADDED
in large amounts will convert the
heaviest soil into fine garden, both
in respect to texture and fertility:
Ashes are probably the cheapest sou
amendment and, if applied in guam
tity, will break up the heavy clay INTO
workable condition. Ashes contribute
nothing to the soil except texture m
provement and must therefore. be 1ol-
lowed with fertilizers to supply pian'
food. A.
At all events, one need not be dis
oIIrared If the soil at first seems I'M
nossible. Many of the finest gardens
Of this vicinity have been won from
heavy clay. Just a little thought ana
care help wonderfully in handling dlf-
ficult soils.
