I crops on this farm was the USG of modern machinery, ' In 191S tho college farm produced 8,000 bushel? of corn, 475 tons of si lage, 4,600 bushels of oats. 24 bales of ?cotton (on 1? acres.) 160 bushels of peas and enough hay to feed 40 head of mules and horses, with a surplus of six carloads for sale. This year the form will make about 4,600 bush-MB of oats on 85 acres. These ats > about ready for cut ting and . IT -e large binders will be used in t' work. They aro pure ap plor oats and wi' be gold as seed. When tbe oats are veli out of the way, these 85 acres will be sown in peas and sc: rhum for hay. In ad dition, the fa.- mis being planted In ?65 acres of corn and 65 acres of cot ton. I The horse and man power used In preparing and planting this acreage is as follows: One 30-horse p"wer, oil pull trac tor; 18 mules, vorking 6 two-horse plows. 2 tworow planters, and a smoothing harrow; und 14 men. The tractor used on the college farm has a plowing capacity of about fifty minutes and can cover nine ac res a day under ordinary circum stances. It is an oil-pull tractor and practically all danger to the crops from fire is eliminated. The plowing cepaclty of the farm ls approximately one hundred acres a week, enabling the superintendent and his? men to seize every favorable sea son for work, no matter how short it may be. The usn of modern farm ruuchlnery eliminates delays and of ten means saving crops which might otherwise be lost because seasons favorable to working were too short to allow the necessary acreage to be covered by inferior machinery. An other advantage of a machine such as a tractor on large farms ls the elim ination of some of the men and the mules, two of the most oxpenslvo fac tors in making crops.

June 9.-The motion to vacate the injunction obtained against Hal Chase by the Chicago American Baseball League, restrain ing him from playing with the Buffalo Federal League club, was argued be fore the Supreme Court Justice Her bert P. Bissel here. Keene H. Addington, of Chicago, counsel for Chase, characterized or ganized baseball as a combination contrary to common and statute law, and a violation of the Sherman anti trust law in that it constitute! a traf fic in players. At th-.: afternoon session. Attorney Addington finished his argument and John W. Ryan opened the case for tho White Sox management. In addition to the alleged violation of the alleged Sherman anti-trust inw, Addington sought to show that the contract between Chase and organized baseball was void because lt lacked mutuality. The connection was based on the ten day's reuease clause. Ry un replied only to attack on the le gality of the contract, reserving until tomorrow his arguments on the al legation that organized baseball op crates In violation of i Sherman anti-trust law.

It was ut thc hattie of Fleurus during the Frencli revolution. It was this balloon that enabled the revolution ists to win the battle and subBequent ly established fie French Republ'c. At sunrise of this day the huge silk en bag, Inflated with hydrogen waa tugging at its ancho ropes in the French Republican camp. The open ing of the battle waa a signal for General Morlot to climb into the bas ket. The soldiers slowly let out the cable and the baloon and aearonaut rose high above the battlefield. Be neath him lay the enemy's lines in full view. While the balloon gently ed died in the breeze, Morlot Irew a sketch of tlie enemy's strategic posi tion and then tossed it overboard in a heavy flag bedecked package. Thus to the commander-in-chief ' on the overy move of the foe was reported ground below during the ten hours in which tho balloon remained aloft. The commander's questions, written out and attached to a cord that hung from the balloon were hauled up ny ?.he aeronaut and quickly answered. The idea of using a balloon in warfare had been conceived, bnt not u.iou. 12 years before, nt the siege of Gibralta:.

Yet ?hat he waa to those alloon Today airships constitute c?no of *he most important factors in modern warfare. All the great world powers have equipped their armies with fleets of aeroplanes and dirigible balloons, and scientists are bending every en ergy toward .uventlng new explosives and perfecting means of hurling them from the clouds with greater ac curacy. Some authorities even pre dict that the next great war will ^ bp fought in the clouds by- squadrons ot airships. Today American aviators are scouting over the Mexican linee around Vera Cruz, and are demonstra ting their marvelous utility. Equip ped with the latest devices the ultra modern army scout can flv over the enemys' country sketch or photograph the tomography of the land below the forts, cities and troop positions. By wireless telegraph he can send back thc information to bis headquarters miles away. With the modern rapid fire gun he can defend himself with a stream of bullets. Or he can drop high explosive bombs from'his lofty craft, scattering death wherever lt strikes-a year ago it was reported a Mexican rebel aeronaut dropped a bomb that killed 52 soldiers Instantly. If lt is night, the aeronaut can drop a star bomb that explodes and shades a lasting and radiant light on the spot he is hovering over. To escape from the new aerial guns' designed to fight airships, the modern aeronaut can drop 'he new German .bomb that spreads a dense, heavy pall of smoke between earth and airship and thus permit the aviator to escape. Or he can drop another kind which gives off a poisonous gas capable of killing ev ery Irving thing within 100 yards. nearest and dearest must be left un said. The two weeks he lay ill was evi dence enough that he had made life a success. Everything was done to stay the hand of death, but to no avail, for his soul was called "up. higher."
