second years coating.
For the new and the retreat
ment work. of the year a total of

Burning Of Marshes Is
Detrimental Experts Say
Dean Coffey States Soil Is Injured
Many Game Birds, Eggs
And Young Destroyed

Does it pay to burn over fields,
marshes or waste land is a ques-
ton heard many times in Mime
sofa especially at this time of the
year. The answer is emphatically
in the negative, according to OPP
inions given on this subject by
authorities who have made a life
long study of such problems as
this one.
Burning over does more harm
than good to the soil and to future
crops, says w. C. Coffey, dean of
the agricultural College, University
of Minnesota.
w. T. Cox, Conservation Com
missioner for Minnesota, makes
this statement: Burning over de-
stroys game birds, their eggs and
their young. It is a most serious
cause of decrease in game.
Another authority, Judson l..
Wicks, Minnesota president Of the
Izaak Walton League, makes the
following assertion; Game birds
are one of the assets of the farm.
They destroy millions of insects
every year. It will pay the farmer
to save them and their nests from
fire. 49,.

his family at Rochester the husband
started north landing finally at
Kelliher where he decided to spend
the winter. There they remained
until April 10, when the pilgrimage
to Detroit was started.
The woman is said to be above
the average in intelligence. She is
about 35 years old, and stated that
she was the mother Of IA children.
After the experience Of the Sank
Centre officials, combined with that
of Todd county and the story Of
their experience in the Twin Cities,
there is lurking suspicion in the
minds of the Sank Centre officials
that the tribe are successful profess
sional pandhandlers. The kiddies,
of course, furnish a successful
smoke screen to arouse the sympa-
thy of kind hearted public.

other young men whom they had

of building the plane, phase which
they were learning was less difficult
than the one of interesting capital
to support the enterprise.
It was soon evident that the $40C
would not much more than suffice
to complete the fuselage, and again
they had to raise money. This pro

before the finished ship was ready
in September of that year, for its
first test fight.
The result of the test hop was e

as successful as had been expected
A more formal background was
needed in order to present it tc
the public, so the Mohawk Aircraft
corporation was incorporated with
Dahlem as president.
Things were rosy in those days
Leon recalls, so far as aviation wa:
concerned. AS an aftermath of thu

All this catch-as-catch-can sort Of
dealing merely exemplified the spir-
it Of the time, which within few
months was to be supplanted by an
economic retreat as hurried as had
been the rise in demand for planes.
Despite the comparatively pros
porous outlook for the company,
Leon took advantage of an oppor-
tunity to become chief pilot for
Roth-Downs Anyways, Inc, of Min
neapolis. He continued in this ca
pacity for six months, and then re-
ceived word that he could take
years active service with the air
craft squadron's battle fleet on the
Pacific coast, if he chose. This
chance was too attractive to pass
up, so he accepted and on July 1,
1928, left for San Diego, Calf.
For six months he trained at the
San Diego base, during which time
he made landings on both the U. S.
S. Lexington and the u. s. s. Lang
ley, aircraft carriers. In February
he joined the aiar force abroad the
Lexington, to which he had been
assigned and sailed for Panama to
engage in the annual war manett
vers. All in all, he made some 159
landings on these two carriers and
the U. s. s. Saratoga.
Again a civilian, Leon looked
around for a commercial job after
he had returned TO Minnesota, fin
ally signing up as a pilot with the
Kohler line Operating through
Lansing, between Milwaukee and
Detroit. He continued flying for
Kohler until the first of January,
1880, when he came to Lansing as
test pilot for the briggs Aircraft
corporation. In November he be-
came flying instructor for the
Lansing Aviation club here, before
becoming associated with the Paul
automotive firm.
There is a real distinction to be
found, in his present position for

A. Paul, who is himself an exper-
fenced flyer, having served in the
Canadian air forces. Mr.. Paul now
maintains a Savoia-Marchetti am

two pilots on frequent cross-country
hops for business or pleasure.
Dahlem doesn't do as much fly
ing now as he has at times in the
past, but it doesn't take a very
lengthy chat with him to observe
that his interest in aviation is hold
ing to par figures.
