C. JACK GABLE, Prop. MASTER’S SALE FLIGHT 1939 I have just flown from the At lantic to the Pacific between two days. I took a plane at New York airport at 5:45 Sunday evening and landed in San Francisco at 9 o’clock Monday morning. It was as comfortable as riding in a Pull man car. I flew in a “sleeper” plane, with regular berths like those on the railroad. It cost al most exactly what the railroads charge for first-class accommoda tions on their crack trans-conti nental trains. I had not flown for five or six years, and was amazed at the im provements since my last flight. Our average speed in the air was three miles a minute. We flew at a height of 10,000 feet, almost two miles, above the earth. We came down at Chicago and Salt Lake to take on gasoline, but otherwise were in the air the whole distance between the oceans. The thought which came to my mind many times as we flew was the Biblical line, that God has made man a little lower than the angels.

They are young, but they are far from be ing “kids.” It takes nine years from the beginning of training to qualify a pilot to command a big airliner, as long as it does to qualify to practice medicine. First, before he can be admitted to an Army or Navy flying school he must have had at least two years at a university. All the commercial pilots are Army or Navy or Marine reserve officers. It takes four years of intensive training for the ambitious young man to get his “wings” from the government. That qualifies him to fly a military plane, but not for, For Best Prices on Cattle, Hogs, and Calves, see J. L. Smith, McCormick, S. C. 81,209 malaria Cases reported in the U. S. in 1938!

He has to work as an assistant or co-pilot, perhaps for three or four years, before he is intrusted with mail flights on short and easy routes. Then when he has mastered the science and art of navigating entirely by instru ments, and otherwise proved him self qualified, he may get com mand of a trans-continental or trans-oceanic plane. * * * STEWARDESSES helpful Almost as important as the pilot and co-pilot on the cross-country passenger planes is the stewardess, the capable young woman whose job is to prepare and serve meals to passengers, look after them if they are “air-sick,” and in general to see to it that they are com fortable. The girls who get these jobs usually stay on them less than two years. By that time they have married either a pilot or a co-pilot or some passenger they have met. Most of them marry men in the air service. Every stewardess must be a registered nurse. That means she PICTURE America There is only one way to get a real picture of America. That is to see it from the air. The impres sion I got was that there are immense unsettled areas, even in the thickly-settled states of Penn sylvania and Ohio over which we flew before night fell. The West is even more thinly settled. From Salt Lake, where we stop ped at dawn, on to the Coast, over the high plateaus west of the Rocky Mountains, and across the Sierras, there was an appalling picture of barren mountains, as bare of vegetation as the coasts of Spain, with occasional fertile val leys hidden amid their depths. Not until we got into California did I see anything from the air that suggested possible prosperity in the creation of wealth from the soil. Once we had crossed Lake Tahoe and began to slip down ward into Sacramento Valley, however, it was easy to see why Californians regard their land as God’s country. It is a green and lovely land facing the blue Pacific, kept fertile by the rains and fogs sweeping in from the ocean. Cotton Report As Of August 1, 1939 A South Carolina cotton crop of 810,000 bales of 500 pounds grosr weight is forecast from condition as of August 1, according to repor issued August 9th by Frank C Black, Agricultural Statisticiar Columbia. This prospective ou’ turn compares with 648,000 half made last year, 1,023,000 in 19r and average production of 738,0C bales for the five years 1932-36. The reported condition of 80 pc cent of normal is the highest < record and the indicated yield pc acre of 310 pounds lint equals th record yield made in 1920. On the other hand a somewha - greater than average weevil dam age is expected from reported in festation on August 1 and weevil prevalence is sufficiently wide spread to cause serious damage to weather favor weevil activity. United States A United States cotton crop of 11,412,000 bales is forecast by the Crop Reporting Board of the United States Department of Ag riculture, based on condition as of August 1. If realized, this will be 531,000 bales less than the 1938 crop, and 2,388,000 bales less than the 10-year (1928-37) average. The average yield for the United States is forecast at 223.7 pounds per acre, which is 12.1 pounds less than the yield in 1938, but is 32.9 pounds more than the 10-year average (1928-37). In the Carolinas and Georgia, the prospective yields per acre this year are higher than in 1938, and also above the 10-year aver age. In Alabama and the States adjoining the Mississippi River, this year’s expected yields are less than the high yields of last year, but are still above the 10-year av erage. Yields in Oklahoma and Texas are indicated to be less than in 1938, and also less than average. In the irrigated areas of the Far Western States, relatively high yields are in prospect this season. The cotton acreage of 24,424,000 acres used in this report is the estimated acreage in cultivation on July 1, less the 10-year average abandonment. The acreage for harvest is slightly more than in 1938, which was the smallest cot ton acreage harvested since 1899. In interpreting reported condi tion in terms of probable yield per acre, the Crop Reporting Board has made allowance, as in the past, for probable loss due to boll weevils on the basis of reports re ceived through August 1 concern ing weevil presence and activity. These reports indicate that loss from this source will be about average for the United States, but somewhat more than average in the States east of the Mississippi River, except in Tennessee. In the States west of the Mississippi, less than average loss from weevils is indicated. materials for laying houses and equipment adapted to Southern conditions. The plans shown are for the open-front shed-roof type of laying houses, and for nests, mash hoppers, water stands, catching coops, and feed bins. The location of the laying house, the size of house and yards, sani tation, and location of roosting poles are also discussed in this new circular. The county agent points out that too often the poultry house is thought of as being merely a roosting place for chickens, whereas a good house is very use ful throughout the year both day and night. “Protection from ex treme heat is of as much value as protection from cold”, he says. “Comfort supplied in a well- equipped poultry house favors high egg production”.

Thinning Pine Stands Gives Good Trees Room Laying House Plans In New Publication County Agent Shelley announces \ new poultry publication, Exten sion Circular 174, “Laying Houses and Equipment”, by P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman. The cir cular is issued by the Extension Service of Clemson College and is for free distribution from the county agent’s office or from the Publications Department at Clem son. The purpose of this circular, says Mr. Shelley is to discuss the important principles in construc tion and to give plans and bills of Expanded markets for pulpwood present an opportunity to many landowners in McCormick county to thin their pine forests by cut ting all crooked, forked, rough, and defective trees that would never produce good poles, piling, or sawtimber, according to D. Austin Shelley, county agent. “Thinnings provide an oppor tunity to sell a portion of the timber crop while the more valu able timber products are being grown,” says the agent. “Fre quently, by cutting out the unde sirable trees, landowners can re move as much as 10 cords of wood per acre, and still have the de sirable number of trees left for growth for poles, piling, and saw- timber. “Thinnings for pulpwood, as con trasted with destructive clear- cutting, permits the landowner to earn three to four times more from his pine timber.” Asserting that the same prin ciples can be applied to thinning pine timber as those applied to thinning com or cotton, Mr. Shel ley explains that the idea behind thinning is simply to give more growing space to the most desira ble trees. Frequently, in pine stands, the trees are crowded as a patch of One of the most air-minded young women in the country is Mrs. Brewster A. Gillies, of Syos- set, L. I., who flies about in her airplane just as other women do in their automobiles. She con siders it a comfortable and easy method of transportation, and she heps across Long Island Sound to lunch and back again as if she were miflnhg just an ordinary trip. Mrs. Gillies has recently become president of the “Ninety-niners,” an association of women flyers who originally numbered ninety- nine. Their purpose is to get more women air-minded, to simplify flying for women, and to promote their interest in the profession. Mrs. Gillies has been flying eleven years. She began when training at a hospital to be a nurse. She has three children. * * * With a gardener and four assis tants to help in the planting, Dr. Sylvia Colla conducted some inter esting and unusual plant propaga tion in the Argentine. In fact her work was so important that it at tracted the attention of botanists everywhere. The experiment was done withi 126,000 plant cuttings and layers in the delta section of the Argen tine at the mouth of the Parana River, in a suburb of Buenos Aires. The Minister of Agriculture spon sored the experiment and the gov ernment also is interested in her work. She uses a mixture that accelerates root growth. Dr. Colla has a doctorate from the Univer sity of Turin and was professor of botany in its department of agri culture. * # * Mrs. Larz Anderson, whose hus band’s ancestor by the same name served on Lafayette’s staff and received Cornwallis’ sword from him at the Yorktown surrender, is the only woman member of the Society of Cincinnati.
