Overcoming Earth's Pull
Problem to Be Solved.

London.-The new problems Of
inter-planetary flight is now being
earnestly studied in London. Pro-
fessor Piccards ascent into the
stratosphere and his eagerly await
ed data has given impetus to the
movement among the scientists
and astronomers in Great Britain.
The movement in England has
the benefit of the advice of Profes-
Sor Jeans.
Across the channel the British
society is awaiting the result of
Frances S2.OOO,0O0 rocket. This is
not intended to be mere projectile
fired into the moon, but vehicle to
transport man there equipped with
everything modern science can
think of TO secure the safety of the
passenger and also the instruments
to collect the invaluable data.
To Overcome Pull.
The conception Is staggering.
According TO a scientific writer in
the People:
"A projectile designed to travel
into inter-stellar space has to rise
above the earth's atmosphere en-
velope and 10 cancel the gravita-
tional pull. This is one Of the ma
jor problems confronting the rocket
experts.
ITO be shot free of the earth's
pull. it must be discharged at the
rate of speed of about seven miles
per second; that is a hundred times
the speed of an airplane. But If
that speed is attained at the start

atmosphere will turn the projectile
into an incandescent mass.
Briefly, rocket designed for
such is an engine composed of four
parts. Firstly, the fuel compart-

The Fuel Problem.
1.-THE fuel problem is divided into
two divisions-solid fuel such as
gunpowder-and liquid fuel-a COM
binatlon of hydrogen and liquid
oxygen"
To-day" states the writer In the
People" 'the only basic problem
that stands between earthbound
man and the vast intoxicating
dream of inter-stellar travel is
power.
Mankind Is now tackling that
problem with all the skill and
knowledge of the chemist, the as
tronomer, the Professor Piccards
and all the aviation pioneers"

An actress, who lives in an old
house which has been converted
into apartments, was annoyed by
blasting and other construction ac-

complaint with the city authorities.
One day a stranger appeared and
asked whether she had made a COM
plant. Delighted at the prospect
of some action in the matter, she
said she had. He told her he was
an investigator and asked to be
taken around the apartment to see
whether any damage had been done

put his head through windows and
looked outside. The thing appeared
to strike him as pretty serious.
Finally he asked the actress to go

what the investigator thought about

BRITISH PARTY TO FLY OVER
SUMMIT OF MOUNT EVEREST

NIT Of the mountain. Everest, how
ever, lies remote in the heart Of
mighty range of peaks, In a region
where a forced landing would mean
destruction and where winds Of
hurricane force prevail.
Face Tremendous Storms.
The head of the mountain is the
seat of tremendous storms; and
vast masses of frozen cloud shroud
the summit for many months Of the
year. The men who take Off from
a flying field in northern Bengal, at
the foot Of the great range, will
know that they are beginning one
of the most perilous adventures in
the history of aviation.
The British air ministry and the
India office are supporting the ex-
pedition. and the Maharaja of
Nepal. within whose territory the
mountain stands, has given permis-
mission for the flight over the sum-
NIT.
A period Of intensive training
and flying trials will precede en-
barkation for India. Every member
of the expedition must he physical
ly fit to withstand the strain Of fly
ing above the mountains. Airplanes
and engines must be tuned per-
fectly for the task; for mechanical
failure will mean disaster.
Negotiations are being made to
secure the high-1ying Vickers YES

tor which Cyril Unwins used to set

Washington, d. C.-Publicity stunt
transatlantic flying, which reached
a new peak during the past FIVE
months, may be curtailed in the fu-
ture.
The Commerce and State depart
ments are working out regulations
designed TO reduce the risk of such
flights and to eliminate foolhardi-
ness from them as far as possible.

the flight over the summit, the
other TO photograph the attempt,
since an obvious difficulty is the
problem of securing adequate evil
dence that the peak is actually
flown over.
To Wear Heated Clothing.
Both machines will carry cameras
and 1t is hoped that the record
thus obtained will place the success
of the venture beyond doubt. The
flyers will wear specially heated
clothing and will use oxygen ap-
paratus.
At the time of the preliminary
trials, or perhaps preceding them,
Mr.. Unwins may attempt to reach
an altitude greater than the pres
ent record. He is confident that
his plane is capable of another

In a speech to his constituents,

that the chief object which he and
his friends have at heart is to pro-
mote British world prestige-par-
ticularly in India.
He added that the flight over
Mt. Everest is the "only one orig
inal flight really worth while;

world having been flown over. He
briefly sketched the danger of the
attempt; one great peril being that

Sweet Potato Crop

The South has one-fifth more
sweet potatoes this year, but the
greater part of the crop is for local
use and the surplus usually does
not cause much trouble TO anybody.
Northern sweet potatoes, which
supply most of the market ship
ments, show no more than average
production In most sections. New
Jersey has 100000 bushels COM
pared to 100000 bushels last year,
and 100000 bushels, the average
during the five years 1924 to 1923.
Because of the increased paintings
of the crop In the South for use
on farms, the countrys total produc-
tlon of sweet potatoes this year Is
expected TO total 76,230,0O0 bu-
shells, or nearly 100000 bushels
more than in 1881 and about 49,

erage during the five-year period

Vaccinate small pigs to prevent
cholera.
Corn produces more nutrients per
acre and at a lower cost than either
oats or barley.
More bushes per acre mean lower
cost per bushel, and low cost wheat
is the only wheat worth growing.
Weed losses can be reduced by
cutting the weeds before they go to
seed and thus prevent their spread.
Remember that the better stand
of seeding that results from ade-
quate use of fertilizer is worth more
than the price of the fertilizer.
No more investment is required
for stock and equipment, and the
overhead is no larger, to raise a
litter of eight to ten pigs up to
weaving time than is required to
raise to this age a litter of four or

There is very little damage from
the pine mouse or the field mouse
in clean cultivated orchards. Grass
mulch, or other artificial mulch,
however, furnishes an ideal feeding
place for the pests and at the same
time protects them from predatory
birds and other animal enemies.
An effective method of control is
to expose poisoned grain bait in
glass bottles near the trees. In this
way the bait is protected from the
weather but is constantly exposed
as preventive to reinfeStation.
Specially constructed stations made
of sheet iron and boards may also
be used.
This bait may be made by mix
ing one-eighth ounce of powdered
strychnine with the same amount
of ordinary baking soda. This mix
ture should be sifted over one quart
Of steam rolled oats and stirred
constantly to insure an even distri-
button of the poison.
The grain bait is then put in self
