Useless Sacrifice of Life.

The Army Air Corps is obeying
orders and flying the mails. But the
cost Is pretty high. Lives and air.
planes are being lost and there are
injured aviators in hospitals.
The result was not unexpected
Predictions were made that the
imposition of a new task, for which
Army pilots are not qualified by
training or experience, and for which
they lack adequate equipment. would
take its toll in lives Of Army pilots.
1t was not reasonable to expect any
other result.
The casualties among the first COM
mercial airmail flyers were high. At
one time the life span of an airmail
pilot was fixed at three years, al
though it has been heightened since
by training and equipment. For the
job of plotting mail planes through
thick weather, night and day, is spe-
cialized as well as hazardous. The
commercial companies do not put
green pilots in charge of mail and
passenger carrying planes. BY green
pilots one does not mean pilots who
lack sufficient training in flying, but
pilots unfamiliar with the routes to
to be flown and the difficulties OF
the particular job. The commercial
mail-passenger pilot must spend sew
eral weeks familiarizing himself with
the route, locating the radios blind
spots," learning the location of emer-
gency landing fields. On combined
passenger-airman routes modern prac-
tice requires that a pilot serve for
many months, possibly for several
years, as co-pilot before he Is per-
mitted to take responsibility for q
plane.
The Army's initial attempt to fly
the mails has been undertaken with
gallant courage, worthy Of the ideals
and traditions of the service. But
the pilots were unprepared. Their
deaths assume some Of the aspects
Of needless sacrifice. Some Of the
young men ordered to fly the mails
are recent graduates of the flying
school at Kelly Field. Most Of their
training to date has been squadron
flying. They have been as handicapped
b. inexperience in flying the mails
as one of the commercial pilots would
be flying in squadron formation. The
Army has been training its pilots to
use their planes in war, not to carry
the mails. And their planes were
built for military purposes, not to
carry the mails.
Has somebody blundered in order
ing the Army to carry the mails?
Was the contribution of lives already
made necessary, and will the cost Of
using unframed pilots and inadequate
ly equipped airplanes stop now?
Army flyers are not writing the or
ders that send them on hazardous
flights through stormy weather with
few pounds Of mail. They only
carry out the orders. Army Air Corps
prestige will not suffer If these orders
are modified, in sensible recognition
Of the fact that continued sacrifice
Of human life and property is use
less and wasteful, and that thorough
and specialized training, together with
adequate equipment, are fundamental
requisites which have not been pro-
yided.

however, is an eight-hour day. This
includes going to and from the camp

also In mining, lumber, and railroads
After 1880. he devoted his fortune to
philanthropy.
@. II we imported nothing from
abroad, what things would Americans
have to do without?-J. s. r.
A. Senator Fletcher spoke on this
subject on January II, 1888. A part
of his speech was as follows: Were
We to cut of our imports from othe:
nations, we should, to begin with.
have to give up our coffee, tea and
cocoa, do without silk clothing or
goods. These things, to be sure. might
perhaps be classed as luxuries, al
though their distribution and sale in
the United States is afording en-
ployment to thousands of Americans.
But In our civilization today no one
could class rubber and tin as luxuries
On these two raw materials alone de-
pend some of our greatest industries
And every pound Of tin and Of rubber
that goes into finished American
manufactures must be bought abroad
Platinum, metal that is an essential
to the manufacture of many electrical
products, is another mineral for which
we must look entirely to foreign
sources Of supply"

@. How long does it take an ocean
current to make a complete circuit?-
M. F.
A. The Coast and Geodetic Survey
says that this cannot be answered
definitely from the information at
hand. and any estimate of the time
would be very rough and based upon
a number Of arbitrary assumptions.
From the information available 1t
appears that the period of such a

or North Pacific Oceans. if a path
near the outer limit of the whirl in
each case is assumed, would be meas
ured in years.

VIRGINIA CREEPER VINES ARE
DAMAGED BY SUCKING INSECTS

A species Of leaf hopper is attacking
and damaging Virginia creeper vines in
the state, and State Nursery and Seed
company officials have made extensive
Investigations on its account. The pest
is a sucking type of insect, William ].
Mills of the nursery said, and must be
combated with contact sprays. Stomach
poisons are useless against the hoppers.
The insect is active and because Of
this the spray should be applied in the
early morning hours, preferably before
sunup, while the hopper is cold and
sluggish.
"Blackleaf 40" and Evergreen" are
two types of contact poison found to be
effective in control Of the leaf hopper.
The insects do not kill the vines, the
nursery experts said, but cause it to
many of its leaves. They suck the
juice out of the leaves until the leaves
fall. Drouth conditions of the last two
or three seasons and the lack of hui
it was said, are the causes of
the prevalence.

MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
The important facts about the
soils of Pondera county upon which
can be based an intelligent land util-
ization program are contained in
SOILS of Pondera County," a report
of the soil reconnaissance survey
conducted in the county by L. r. Gle
seeker, soils specialist at Montana
State college. !
This report is general in nature but
Classics 48 different soils in the coun-
ty and includes maps showing location
OF each. The report tells about the
photographic features, including glac-
iation, glacial lake basins and out
washes. escarpments and similar gen.
eral information.
Other information which contributes
to value of the soils report include, de-
cription of drainage; settlement; with
history, towns, facts about TRANSPORTS
ton and markets. Stock raising, dry
land irrigated farming are described
and general soil problems.
In the descriptions of specific soils
the report tells the topography Of the
region in which the soil is present, the
tillable area Of the specific soil, the
utilization Of the soil, a careful des-
cription and the vegetation it carries.

RUSSIAN THISTLES
FOR WINTER FEED
SHOULD BE CUT AND IMMEDIATE
LY STACKED WITH DRY STRAW,
EXPERT ADVISES

(MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
Late Russian thistles, native grass
along roadsides, patches of sweet
clover or other forage in draws and
coulees may be the saving of many
cattle this winter, in the opinion Of
Sam Sloan, extension agronomist at
Montana State college.
The reason for such emergency
measures is the drouth which has cut
down the carrying capacity of the
range materially in some sections and
completely ruined it in others. If stock
is to be kept in the worst hit regions,
feeding of hay must start now or cat
tie moved out. In other sections, not
so hard hit, feeding will be delayed only
a short time. It is an exceptional case If
there is plenty of hay or other roughage
now on hand for sufficient winter feed
supplies, Sloan declares.
Late crops of Russian thistles can be
put up for hay, Sloan points out.
Thistles should be cut and Immediately
put into the stack. Allowing them to
dry before stacking causes dryness,
woodiness and too much alkali. Thistles
are, however, laxative and should not
make up more than one half of the
ration. Some stockmen stack thistles
and obtain good results by sprinkling
salt over alternate layers. Others stack
by making a layer of straw alternate
with layers of thistles. Either way is
satisfactory if the thistles are stack
ed quickly after cutting.
