SAFELT ON SNOWLESS
/ CCBTISS FIELD
Curtiss Field, L. L, Dec. 22.?Wll.
11am Winston, a pilot (or the Curtiss
Flying Corporation, made a daring
landing on the grass here today with
skis instead of wheels. Flying a Fair,
child Cabin plane, Winston wen: to
Three Rivers, Quebec, a week ago. He
had telephoned to that place asking if
there was any snow there and the an
swer came back, "No; none to speak
ot" ?
Winston, -who la from the South,
thought that meant "no snow," but. he
came down over Three Rivers to find
the field two feet deep in snow. He
landed, but he couldn't get iott again
with the wheels, so skis were sent on
to him.
The skis attached, he took off this
moyning and about three tours later
linded cd the froien groui d and brawn!
stubble i-f Curtis feld. Winston cane|
in s' vly toward the ground anj lot,
the tall of his plane dewn so that the
rear end of the sk.s touched first. Af
ter a slide of less than fifty feet the
plane stopped in a perfect landing.
Mr. Winston is the son of Mr. and'
Mrs. J. P. Winston, of Wendell, and
was a former Louisburg boy.

i LIGHT COTTON SEED
PRODUCE LIGHT YIELD!
Raleigh, Dec. 26.?To get the heav
lest production of cotton on a givei
area of land, it Is necessary to havi
a good stand of plants. Best standi
are secured when the seed have beei
cleaned and graded and this is a jol
that might well be done when othei
farm work ta not so pressing.
P. H. Kime, plant breeder for thi
State College of Agriculture has trlec
out this idea time after time and hi
has found that light seed have a low
er percentage of germination thai
heavy seed. He has also found tha
the plants produced by the light seei
lacked vitality atad a large part o
them died. Therefore he states tha
arrangements might well be made th'.i
year to reclean all planting seed. Thi
man who doesn't have a cleaner might
get his neighbors to go in with hln
and buy one for the community anc
the seed may be cleaned on a com'
merclal basis by some one who doei
own a cleaner. .
Mr. Klme says, "Maximum yields o!
cotton, can be secured only -yphei
there are sufficient plants evenly dis.
Iributed on the row. Cotton will a?
just itself to a poor stand but when
there is half a stand a full crop shouk
certainly not be expected. Gaps oi
two or three feet are not so bad be.
cause the plants on each side of th(
gap will set more fruit It is the
wide gaps that reduce the yield. On<
who is not convinced of this should
try weighing a row which has a few
wide gaps of 6 to 10 feet occurring
and then compare this with the tot/)
which has a perfect stand."
By cieaning out the trash, unglnned
locks, rotten locks and poorly ginned
seed, a ipore even distribution of the
seed is secured. Black seed, which
are very undesirable, are also remov
ed and grading out the light faulty
seed will give a better gemination
and will produce stronger seedlings,
states lir. Klme.
President Coolldge has made it per.
'cctly plain to everybody, except uer.
taps Senator Fees, that when he does
tot choose he means. he does nor
ihoose.

CHOP YIELDS INCREASED
BY L'SE OF LEGUXE!
Raleigh, Dec. 2$.?There have beei
many notable examples over Norti
Carolina daring the past year of hov
soils may be Improved in fertility. Th<
method used is Blmple since it in
eludes largely the turnng under o
'legumes!
"Some of these examples include<
a tobacco crop which sold for ovei
$600 an acre, a twenty.seven hors<
cotton crop that made over a bale t(
the acre and many unusually higt
corn yields," says E. C. Blair, exten
slon agronomist at State College. "In.
jterest in livestock is. increasing in th<
State and a large part of the land noa
planted to such cash crops as tobacco
cotton, peanuts and other crops maj
be shifted to feed crops for livestocl
with a good cash Income from the an
imals, as well as an increased yield ol
the money crops made on less land
The way to do this is to follow
example of those men who are mak.
lng the best use of legumes in theli
crop rotations."
Mr. Blair states that C. H. Qorhan
of Edgecombe County made 72 busheli
of corn per acre where he plowed un
der clover as compared with 33 bush,
els where no clover was used. Re
moving the clover as hay decreased
the yield by five bushels per acre. J,
F. Cowan of Hertford County made 48
bushels of com per acre where he
] used no vetch as a cover crop and 87
| bushels where a volunteer stand was
j plowed under. G. E. Callahan of Bla.
den County has been following a good
' crop rotation slhce 1923 and now sells
' about $3000 worth of tobacco, cotton,
'beef, pork, and poultry products from
32 acres of cultivated land. C. M.
Foy of Jones County and T. J. Purdle
of Cumberland are two other farmers
who have found (hat a crop rotation
with legumes will bring better yields
ot the main cash crops and will leave
the remaining acreage for producing
feed and food cirops.
The idea of a systematic crop rota<
i tion is old, states Mr. Blair, but in ac.
>tual practice it is new! and more
landowners are becoming interested
each year.

HOUSING THE DALEY COW
The main essentials In housing dairy
cows In the winter seem to be to keep
them dry and out ot the wind and
drafts, and to prorlde plenty of fresh
air and sunlight. Apparently the mat
ter of temperature In Itself Is not a
vital consideration, except perhaps in
the most severe portions of the United
States. It has been noted at the Fed.
eral cay experiment farm at Belts
ville. Mil., that cows do their best in
the coldest weather and their poorest
during the hot summer months. Prob.
ably there is no advantage In keep,
lng the stable temperature much
above freezing, and there may be a
disadvantage if the temperature rises
above 6 degrees.
A New Yoraer stands ready to ult
the f&mllv trees for $250, and t)?re
are plenty of families that woulopay
that much and more lust for a little
pruning.

That Hickman had admitted that he
