VOL. XCIIII. HOLD EXPERIMENTS TO HELP FARMERS. Various Tests of Wheat and Soil Fer- tilizer Made At State College Dur- ing Farmers’ Week. Hundreds of farmers visiting the var- ious expirments conducted for their benefit by the Peansylvania State Col- lege, during the annual June Farmers week, last week, were greatly impressed by the variety tests of wheat and the soil fertilizer investigations that have been continued there for thirty-five years on the oldest expermental plots of their kind in this county, They where the Fulcaster Selection 44-09 wheat va- riety originated, now generally conced- ed to be the best yielding variety for Pennsylvania conditions. Many farmers expressed a desire to obtain seedings of this wheat in small their own var- saw quantities to test against ieties, a practice that was started by the college in 1918, with remarkable results, This Fulcaster Section has a average production of over seven bush- els more than in that time yielding 36.8 bushels to the acre.

An unusually interesting Children’ 8 | Day service was rendered in the United Evangelical church, Zion Hill, on Sun- day evening, entitled ‘Boundless Bless- ings." The children did their parts remarkably well, as did the older ones in their singing and speaking. A short address was made by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Bingman, and the exercises were led by Lee Frazier, who has the tinction of having done this part of the Children's Day work since he was a mere lad. The superintendent is Roy Martz, and E, W, Crawford conducted the music, The decorations were cidedly pretty and appropriate, repres- enting a grove scene, with water contin- uously trickling on a ledge of rocks sev- eral feet high. On either side the stream mounted deer heads were so lo cated as to well represent a pair of deer just emerging from a thick wooded sec. tion. Over the whole was the motto “The Groves were God's First Temples.’ The church was crowded to the doors, and a large number were obliged to be content with taking through the win ome Sot.

It is conceded by almost every air technical expert that aviation is far from the.r goal of absolute reliability and efficiency, yet in the operation of sever: al score planes with as many pilots the air mail service had but three accidents resulting from mishaps in flight, and in these accidents one man was hurt and two killed. Oune of the accidents occurr- ed to an applicant for place as pilot and thus was not strictly chargeable to the air mail service, This record encourages the prediction of many experts that the day of the ex. pensive and clumsy railway distribution. of mail is near at hand and that the mail service of the future will be almost fastest [URSDAY.
