1.-THE National Air Mail Week
Committee regards as particularly
thoughtful the cooperation that the
Postmaster General and the De-
partment are giving by the issue
of this new stamp" said Major
Younts. while the Air Mail Ser
vice is essentially practical activ-
ity for the benefit of our Nations
business and society, there remains
a certain romance and sentiment in
this service, just as there is at once
sentiment and practical purpose In
our National defense activities. OF
course, the realization is general
throughout the Country that avia-
ton is essential to our national de-
tense, but it also true that the still
further development of the peace
time Air Mail Service will increase
our national solidarity and safety"
The National Air Mail Week
chairman pointed out that hundreds

take to the air, piloted by their
owners, on May 10 to provide a

which will extend into a great num-
Der of communities which now are
remote from the regular transcon-
tinental air mail lines. He report
ed that the private filters are CO
operating with enthusiasm in the
preparations for these special
flights. This will be a contribu-
ton Of their time and service to
the Air Mail Week program and
by this cooperation, which will pro-
vide one Of the outstanding fea-
lures Of the week, the aviators are
showing an admirable spirit of 10y
atty not only to the Post Office De
partment but also to the great
cause of aviation progress" said
Younts.
He explained that these special
flights, over routes that are being
mapped by the State Chairman in
each Of the 4S states, will demon
strate the speed and efficiency of
the Air Mail in "a most impressive
manner to communities far distant
from the regular routes" Also, the
National Chairman said, these spe-
cial routes for the pickup service"
that day will present a great OBJ
jective for the further expansion of
the network of regular lines. ut
is not unreasonable to expect that
in the course Of a relatively few
years regular flights will be made
over many Of these pickup routes,
thus giving to much greater part
of the Nations population the num-
erous benefits Of the Air Mail" he
said.

New Al Project
All club members from Stearns
county will carry out new project
as far as this county is concerned.
For a number of years club men,
bers have been enrolled in the corn
acre yield contest. This year how
ever, z or 8 members will have one
acre plots for the production of
double cross or hybrid seed. The
two hybrid varieties that will be
used by the club members under
the direction of the county agents
office, st. Cloud, will be minhybrid
401 and minhybrid 4O2.
Polycarp Meyer and Robert Mey-
er Of the Metre Grove club and Har-
old Kunkel Of the Sank Valley club
will have minhybrid 401. Louis
Steman Of the Luxembourg club,
Myles and Don Cheadle Of the Uni
ty club and Merle Judes OF the Ray
mond-Ashley club will have minhy-
Bird 400 for this project.
Under this plan the parent stock
for the seed production was secur-
ed from the Minnesota Experiment
Station and the club members will
plant the male and female rows
early in May for seed production
this year. The female rows will be
detassled as soon as the tassels ap-
pear leaving the rows planted to
the male seed to furnish the pol
len to fertilize the detassled rows.
From these detasseled rows ferti-
liked by male pollen, the seed corn
will be picked. The county agent
and the club leader will soon call
these club members together to re-
view the instructions for the pro-
duction of hybrid seed. The matter
of planting, cultivation, detasseling,
picking of the seed and the drying
of the seed will be taken up. Seed
produced from these acre plots of
hybrid corn will be made available
to other farmers in 1889 who wish
to purchase hybrid seed corn local
ly in the county.
Fertilizer Plots
Last year in Stearns county fer
tilizer demonstration trials were
carried out on a number Of farms
to determine the gains that might
come from the use Of commercial
fertilizers on corn, small grains
legumes and pasture. Three differ.
ent kinds Of fertilizers were used or
each Of these crops. The results
of these trials were recently made
public by the county agents Office
The demonstration plots last year
were carried out through the coun.
ty agents Office with the coopera
ton of six farmers in Stearns coun.
ty. This year but two fertilizer ma,
terials will be used; namely 4-28-<

ton, Pa. The Marine Corps In
stitute continued its good work
and a system of approximately
two hundred courses, such as
accounting, agriculture, diesel
engines, navigation and radio
was built up. These courses are
identical with those given by
the international Correspond

are graded, and criticism and

The student of the Marine

upon completion of the course,
he is given a diploma. This fact
of completion is added to the

Proudly Boosting that it is
the best educated military ser

members are able to continue
their studies no matter where
they left off. It is through the

Institute that every man, at no
cost to himself, can take up or
continue any study in which
he is interested.
According to information sent
to Postmaster j. M. Astle, by
the Marine Corps Recruiting
office at BIT New Rookery
Building. Spokane, washington,
the Marine Corps Institute was
organized shortly after the

for civilian life when they left
