twice during a forced landing.
Turner had taken off at dawl
yesterday from Union Air Termina
here and was speeding at BETTE
than 200 miles an hour towards
Albuquerque when his motor be
gan to idle over the arid Indiar

The flier said he believed he had
two cracked ribs as well as bruis-
es on his head and shoulders.
Hobbled To Hut
Despite his injuries, he hobbled
towards an Indian hut where a
Zuni Indian loaned him a horse
and led him to the Indian service
bureau on the reservation. An
automobile was placed at his dis
posal there and he was driven 10

boarded a train for Los angeles.
The plane in which he finished
second in last years BendiX race
was so badly wrecked. Turner said.
that he will be able only TO Salv-

The flier indicated he would re-
turn to the Indian reservation dur

gether together the wreckage and
return it here.

not certain exactly what caused
his motor to fail but believed his
throttle became disconnected, cut

New Facts About
Rainstorms Help
In Flood Control

Raleigh, Sept 24.-"Life histories
of single transforms are now being
recorded through a series of rainfall
measurements more detailed than any
previously undertaken anywhere in
the world, according to a paper pre-
sented at the Upstream Engineering
conference today by G. S. Thornth-
waite, head of climatic research &C
tivities OF the Soil Conservation Ser
vice. U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The measurements, made in coop
Grafton with the Weather Bureau in
western Oklahoma, have brought out
facts which open an entirely new ap-
proach to the problem of upstream
reduction and control of flood waters,
DR.. Thornthwaite stated.
Results of the observations indicate
he explained, that the intensity of
rainfall during single storm varies
from. locality to locality within the
storm area. The variation from spot
to spot is considerably greater than
had heretofore been known. This
means, he pointed out, that previous
rainfall records based on less fire.
quent observations of widely spaced
gauges, provide an inaccurate record
of the actual amount of water, falling
upon the land. It has therefore been
impossible 10 gauge possible flood
peaks with any degree of accuracy.
The new measurements were made
by two hundred farmers on relief in
Blaine, Kingfisher and Logan coun-
ties, Oklahoma. Employed by the Ser
vice and given elementary training
&C weather observers these farmorS
living about three miles apart were
supplied with rain gauges and other
weather instruments which they were
required to read simultaneously on
the hour, and every fifteen minutes
during rains. The detailed records
thus obtained provide a complete life

Well Known Franklin Coun-
ty Farmer, of Near Ep-

j. D. Newman, 46, prominent
Franklin county farmer of near Bp-
som, on the Vance-Franklin line
hanged himself in the feed barn lust
to the rear Of his home in nlid-morn-
ing today, according to advices re-
ceived here, which gave few details.
Members of the family missed him
about the noon hour, and, though
thinking he was in the field with
workers, started a search and found
the body dangling from a joist in the
barn.
No motive for the apparent suicide
was learned, and the Franklin sheriff
and coroner went to the scene to con-
duct an investigation.
Mr.. Newman was related to several
Henderson people and was well
known here. He was lifelong farmer
and an outstanding citizen. He resid-

FARMERS RAISING
OWN WORK STOCK

Taylorsville, Sept. 24-Alexander
county farmers say it is foolish to pay
hard-earned cash for workstock that
can be raised at home.
Farmers who have mares and suf-
ficient feed and pasturage to care for
growing colts find that it costs them
almost nothing to raise their own
work animals.
J. F. Brown, county agent of the
State College Extension Service, who
has been encouraging the farmers to
raise more livestock pointed out that
a mare used for breeding purposes
can also be used as draft animal
at the same time.
Since a mare need not lose more
than a week or two of work at foal-
ing time, he continued the production

history of each rainstorm and make
it possible to relate rainstorm pheno-
mena to wind velocity and direction
and to temperature. Rainfall distri-
button maps showing the distribution
of rain falling at Is minute intervals
were prepared from the gauge read
lngs. These maps reveal, in a manner
never bfeore possible. the spottiness
of rainfall and TIE changing centers
of greatest intensity during a given
storm.
In addition to the data on intensity
distribution, the measurements have
provided valuable information rela-
tive to the areal extent and migra-
ton tendencies of Individual rain
storms.
Similar recordings of wind velocity
and direction have likewise resulted
in important disclosures, Thornth-
waite stated. 1t has been found. he
said, that wind velocities are ex-
tremely variable from place to place
within the area studied. Variations
take the form of channels of force
which parallel the wind direction. In
some cases, in parallel zones across
the area velocities ranged from as
high as Is miles per hour in one
zone to less than 10 miles per hour
in others. These alternating channels
of high and low wind velocities.
Thornthwaite suggested, may explain
the puzZling fact that certain fields
suffer from wind erosion whereas
adjoining fields remain unframed.
