DUST CLOUDS ENDANGER FLYING MEN UNTIL OH OFFICIALS SOLVE PROBLEM / - _ - - •* •• ar Spectators Can See Takeoffs Without Peril and Authorities Breathe Easier—In Every Sense—Since Experts Come to Aid of Aviators at Boston. . Ill m • • V The Spirit of St. Louis Landing at Boston Airport, South Boston, Mass. Insert ShowE^Llifdy” and His Famous Smile; W HILE Col. Charles A, Lind bergh, fresh from his tri umphs in Central America and the W^st Indies, is now looking for new worlds to conquer aeronau- tically, city and aviation officials are planning new ways to make airports safer. Flyers are interested in the dust problem not because they meet dust aloft, but because they must reckon Ivith the problem when they are land ing. Officials are interested because they are watchful over the safety of thousands of spectators tilled with a new zeal for aviation because of Col. Lindbergh's prowess. So seriously have the officials of the Boston Airport at South Boston real ized that question that they have con ducted special experiments with dust laying apparatus and chemicals to de termine which are most effectiv’^T'- The problem ha,s arisen only in re cent years—one might say months— with the increase in “galleries” at the big aviation fields. Public interaet has become so aroused to flying that it is no uncommon sight to see hun dreds and even thousands of persons gathered on the more -popular fields to see the takeoff in any one of the big races. Men, women and children trample over the fields before the start of the fliers, tearing up the turf and earth so that it may become quite dusty. When the pilots are ready to take off and the crowds pushed back be hind the ropes, the aviators may find the held covered with fine dust. As the plane starts down the run way, the propeller whirring, great clouds of dust arise, getting into the eyes of airmen and spectators alike, and creating a dangerous situation. .To reduce that danger so far as may be humanly possible, officials of the South Boston Airport are using calcium chloride, a chemical that be cause'of its affinity for moisture acts as a perfect dust layer, much in the same manner of a moist blanket over the field. Since that action was taken some mouths ago the officials have breathed* easier—in every sense of that expres sion—and have made it possible for spectators to observe takeoffs without peril to themselves or to the fliers.

ONE-VARIETY COMMUNITIES, EASY WAY TO PRODUCE BETTER COTTON —Teach children nut to purfingers in their mouths or nose—wash their hands well before meals. Teach children that kissing is dan gerous, especially on the lips. And let adults know’ that their kissing should be limited to their own children. Every adult mouth and throat carry disease germs, latent, that might work havoc in a young child with undeveloped ^leucocytes protection. Dorothy Dix, wise young w’oman, first cousin to Hypatia and Portia, says, “Consistency is the sure sign of old age. I pray my opinions may always be flexible. '— Accused of being inconsistent, Dorothy Dix says, “I hope to good ness I am. I should hate like poison to be consistent. Many mistake for consistency what is really old age dullness. When Harvey announced his discovery of the blood’s .circula tion, giving proof that a child might have understood, his proofs were rejected by every doctor of reputation past forty years of age. Even Napoleon, old physically but not in years, did not use the improved rifle that a German had invented.

When he got a pretty good crop, prices went down, and Jim didn’t clear enough to buy the Missus a new hat. One day John Thrifty’s wife stop ped by to see Mrs. Staples. She was going to town to see some silk things that the big store was having a sale on. She wanted Mrs. Staples to come along. “AH right,” said Jim's wife, “but I can’t buy a thing. Poor Jim's had terrible luck. Don’t know how we’re going to end up.” And so the women got-to talking. That night Jim was reading his favorite paper. The page he was looking at had the “Soda” ad on it. “See that coupon, Jim. Mary Thrifty told me John’s good luck “You sound like the banker and that young county agent fellow,” said Jim. “All they talk about is Soda.” '• M rs. Jim said no more about it... buf she sent in the coupon. Right away some booklets came by mail. They didn’t cost a cent, but they were full of interesting things. Jim read every one of their, and half heartedly agreed to try a little Soda as a side-dressing for his crop. It was too late to put Soda under his cotton, but he used 150 lbs. of Soda per acre around it after chopping out. Scv! Jim couldn’t believe his eyes. His 80 acres gave him nearly 80 bales! “Better luck this year, eh, Jim,” said the^buyer who took Jim’s crop. “Luck, nothing,” said Jim; “It’s Soda!” . - ***** Note: Jirr^ Staples is one of the most prosperous farmers in his county today. He always uses Soda now.at planting.and as side-dressing. You can do exactly what Jim Staples did. Ask your banker. Ask your County Agent. Look at the rec- erds cf the 1927 Cotton Champions.

The ,eggs, put in trays at the top of a rcTfrigefator-like ar rangement, gradually sink.-down, as days pass, until they reach the bottoih, and the chicks walk out on the twenty-first day. Empty racks rise to the top For more eggs, and a constant stream of chicks pour -from an incubator that never stops, eggs being re plenished twice a wCek. Cockerels are eaten. Pullets stimulated by high feeding lay^ early, and electric lights burning in their coops keep them eating after dark and increase egg output. When the hens, weary, slow down, they become chicken stew, and pullets replace them. A hard life, but not so different from ours. Nature gets "rid of us, also, when our usefulness ends. So way to produce larger yields per acre ot oetter cottou wlik’li will command higher prices can he applied so easily and cheaply as ♦he invrliod of growing one variety In a community, says the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural i Foundation. •. ' ~ v „•'' .i . It Hr-virtually Impossible Tor' the Individual farmer to maintain purq seed owing to the unavoidable mixing of s^'ed that takes place at die public gins. It lias been shown that as much as one-fourth of the seed delivered to a farmer may he seed of a different variety from the preceding customer’s crop. Owing to this Inevitable mixing of varieties, crossing in the fields takes place and the cotton “runs out.” compelling the farmer to go out side the community fnr fresh seed 'Ibis “running out” is accompanied by deterioration In the length of staple Td which hml', domestic and foreign buyers complain. As a result. It Is becoming Increasingly difficult to obtain large lots of even running cotton of good length, nmT n high percentage of the American crop must compete with the short staple cotton'of India and Oiina. Those countries probably can produce such cotton at lower cost than American growers. f'he demand (or better cotton/ has been Increasing while the average quality of the <•«>{(».n produced has been declining. Today the mills want cot roil of a higher average grade and staple length than that of the Amer- can crop, according to studies made by the United States Department of ft’gflcult ure. • —'' . Varieties of early, prolific cotton, of 1 to 1 3-10 Inch staple, have been developed, so that there is little excuse for growing cotton under 1 Inch - In length in nio.?t parts of the United States. While a larger number of communities have organized to produce one variety in recent years, reliable observers have estimated that about tH) per cent of the seed planted is mixed gin run, the Foundation states. Aside from the fact that organizing to produce cotton on n one-variety ; community basis makes it possible to produce larger yields of superior cotton ; per acre, the quantity grown In this way becomes large enough so that • buyers will pay full commercial value for it. Usually they will not do*his ! when only a few bales of superior grade are offered in communities where | most of the crop Is inferior short-Iinted cotton. That the standardization of varieties may be brought out in the Nn- tlona’ Cotton Show the Agricultural Foundation together with the Soil Im provement Committee of the National Fertilizer Association have set aside I twelve educational trips for Smith Hughes Teachers/ TcHtoe twelve Vocu- | tional Agriculture Teachers WI19 give evidence of the best community dcvel ! opment tlong one or two variety lines, there will be awarded expense paid j educational trips anywhere in the country. When the energetic Bntish say they mean fp iitrrease, their foreign markets, thejy ifican it. They have built boats 1 small enough , to go through the Welland Canal, and will send low phosphorous mu iron to Chicago, Milwaukee and other American markets, at $26 a ton de livered, dut> paid. You may say that our steel men should . be able to compete with foreign prices. Possibly. But in any cast* our Government should see to^it that American workers AND business men afe protected from ,foreign competition. .. Florida is Democratic, very, and Democrats u-ually oppose high tariffs. . But all depends.
