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.

Teach children that kissing is dan

And let adults know’ that their
kissing should be limited to their

Accused of being inconsistent,

Many mistake for consistency
what is really old age dullness.

W ORKED like a mule, too. Jim
did. Tough luck always seemed
to land on Jim. If the weevil didn’t
get his cotton, the drouTfi did. 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-

Interesting to chicken men.
Pennsylvania has three electric
hatcheries, holding 47,000 eggs
each. 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

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

is menaced by Mexican competi

So Florida; wisely, pledges her

“that- will protect American labor
against destructive foreign com
petition.”
