curacy of the methods used. He
explained further that the county
average bonus payment basis was
not "fair" in that some farmers
had too small base and many too
large lin face of the actual facts
as to the production of each farm.
er-that the policy was to pay bon
US on actual production to the ac-
tual producer, and not to those
who have not produced the, wheat.
He explained that the Individual
production system was based on
the productions of the years from
1928 to, 1882 inclusive, and that no
change can be allowed in the form
of the base system for the deter
mining of allotments; and that the
wheat section Of the AAA had de-
finitely laid down rules. governing
the set up, and. that in face of the
facts that many states, had now
completed their sign-ups, especial
ly in.,the SOUTH a change would
necessitater the adoption of an en-,
tirely,o new allotment program,
which was entirely beyond the pale
of possibility.
I Agent Borton went on to ex-
plain the great benefits the farm

and the department Of agriculture,
After Borton was thru, he was
questioned by a stranger from

much about the subject, He was
easily answered and squelched by
Borton, much to Borton's salts

MITCHELL. S. D.. Nov. II :

MITCHELL, S. D., Nov. IL -
Two United States army balloon
lists came down from mans great
est penetration Of the mysterious
stratosphere today to a safe land
ing in their giant balloon, Explor-
er II, near White Lake, S. D., west
of here.
They landed at Alb p. m. C.S.
T.
The balloon had assembled 1851
feet, an unofficial record.
Captains Albert w. Stevens and
Orval Anderson brought the giant
bag down on a farm five miles
southeast of White Lake. They
quickly gathered up the folds of
the giant envelope.
Volunteers were set at guard
duty about the gondola while Stew
ems and Anderson prepared to do
a radio broadcast over a farmers
telephone.
Stevens and Anderson rode down
to the ground in the rigging which
fastened the metal gondola to the
gas bag. AS the bottom of the
metal ball struck the ground a
glancing blow, Stevens pulled rip
cord which released the 100000
cubic feet of helium gas and the
bar COLLAPSED.
Waived DOWN
GRADUALLY
Previously, Stevens had Waived
the balloon down gradually, after
a 500-foot ground rope caught in
clump of bushes and anchored
the giant bag.
1t was a good landing.
In radio messages to the spon-
sors of the flight, the National Geo
graphic society and the United Sta
ties army, the balloonists reported
successful achievement of all OBJ
jectives during the fight,
Atmospheric conditions deep in

The balloon, despite two rnishaps
to its fabric, was piloted some Ia
miles up, practically to its tech
nical ceiling. ~

fetal until the instruments are cal,

Patches in the top of Explorer

Shortly before noon, Stevens re-
ported by radio that his instru-

He said the balloon would be TAX

A few minutes later, the giant
bag was reported at $4,000 feet
and work was started in the scien-
tific measurements. At 1920 p
m. Stevens reported the altitude
of 1880 feet.
'The sky is dark purple over
head and black at one horizon and
dark blue at the other" he said.
Stevens then read recordings on
a cosmic ray instrument to DIR

radio. At. 1925 p. m. the Explor,
er II had reached 74,187 feet.
Stevens reported to his sponsors
that temperature, inside the metal
sealed gondolae was about, 81 de-
grees fahrenheit. and that instru
