Jump.
Bailing out at 1000 feet, Kozulia
pulled the rip cord, but his para
chute failed to open. The dome OF
the apparatus was caught under his
knee.
After some dizzy seconds, Kozu-
liza freed it and pulled the ring
again-but still the parachute did
not open
With his body plunging nearer
and nearer the ground, Kozulia
sprung his safety parachute as d
last resort. That, too, fouled.
Kozulia frantically began to draw
the two parachutes toward himself,
hoping to disentangle them before
it was too date. AS he did this. a
sudden gust Of wind tore loose the
safety parachute and it opened
with Kozulia only $50 feet above the
field.
He landed without injury, how
ever.

DR.. Thorn one Of the speakers at inter-

The science of agriculture has concentrated too

Green manuring. regarded a method of adding
valuable organic matter to the soil is not as effective
as crop resdues grass and sod farming, manuring
and even weed crops left to die on the soil.
CMILARLY, DR.. Thorn points out that thorough
