The feat was accomplished by Capt. Dieu. donne Coste and Maurice Bellonte in their famous plane Question Mark in 37 hours, 18 minutes and 30 seconds. During this time, in fair weather and fog, daylight and night, their single motor never missed. Following gen- erally the great north circle route, they averaged more than 100 miles an hour and landed at Curtiss field, Val- ley Stream, Long Island, at dusk, tired but jubllant, Great crowds greeted the aviators at the field ay In New York city, and they and the French government re- ceived the congratulations of high offi- clals from President Hoover down and of our leading airmen. Among those who welcomed them as they landed were Col, Charles Lindbergh and his wife. Captain Coste, who had been planning the flight for a long time, sald they were forced to dodge through dense mists and around storms, and their first American land- fall was the coast of Nova Scotia. Be ing informed that Col, W. E. Easter- wood of Dallas, Texas, had offered £25,000 to them If they would fly their plane to Dallas, they took off for that city early Thursday morning. This, according to hastily made plans, was to be the start of a tour of the coun- try, toward the close of which the Frenchmen will be entertained at luncheon by President Hoover in the White House. The Question Mark will be flown back to Paris by Paul Codos and a mechanic, but Coste and Bellonte will return by steamship. Naturally the people of France were jubilant over the flight made by their countrymen, Some of the Paris news. papers thought the chief importance of the flight was the demonstration to the Germans and the Italians that French aviators were not so helpless of New York 3-—Scene during the fire that was announced officer of the as was supposed.

ECRETARY of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde fears the drought in the Middle West is to continue and to spread northward, He called a meet- ing of the state chairmen of relief for September 10 In Washington, “The drought is not over yet,” said Mr. Hyde. "It seems that a new drought may be starting in the area north of the belt so hard hit in July and the first part of August. Fortu- nately, a large part of the production of wheat and small grains is har. vested.” The rising prices of corn, live stock, and other commodities due to the drought partly has compensated farmers in the central states for thelr losses, Mr. Hyde said.

Cutting Sweet Clover for Hay Many Farmers Make Big Mistake in Allowing Crop to Stand. Many farmers make a grave mis take by allowing sweet clover to stand too long before cutting for hay. Sweet clover should Le cut while it is in the bud stage and not after it is In bloom, The blenninl white blossomed sweet clover develops a coarse stem as It is passing through the bud stage. This fact makes it so succulent that it is an impossibility to cure it and pol- gonous substances develop in the stem, North Dakota has found that many animals died by the eating of this half-cured sweet clover, Avoid Spoiled Clover. We desire at this time to warn our farmers against the putting up of spoiled sweet clover hay, says R.

If a boar pig is six months old and has been nor mally developed to that age, he will show any tendencies he may have to- wards undesirable conformation. In selecting a young boar one should see his sire and dam and make inquiry into the breeding qualities of his an- cestry, particularly with respect to prolificacy. In addition to this infor mation concerning the feeding quali- ties of the ancestry is a valuable in- dex of desirable qualities, Alfalfa in “Egypt” Alfalfa, the best of hay crops, can be grown In southern [llinois If con ditions are made suitable for the plant, according to D. C. Maxwell of the University of Illinois. The first requirements of the south. ern soils Is good drainage, which is bad in some sections of the state due to impervious subsoil. The rolling and well-drained solls need lime and gome humus in general to make a success of alfalfa production, Smaller Turkeys It is too often the rule that all turkers reaching marketable weight nre sold on the Thanksgiving market and the process repeated at Christ mas time, those left constituting the next season's breeding flock. The re- sult of such a practice is smaller tur. keys raised with each succeeding sea- gou~and fewer of them-—for this actice insures the retention of the Hoo thrifty birds, Make War on Pocket Gophers in October | Spread Out Poisoned Wheat in Systematic Manner. Pocket alfalfa tend to gophers, fields, have life habits that lull the farmers into allowing them more security than they deserve. In spring and summer when the alfalfa grower Is in his field cutting his hay crop he finds new evidences of the multiplication of pocket gophers in the form of new mounds of loose earth thrown up from the tunnels they dig. It is not until late In Bep- tember or until October that the mounds multiply. All during spring and summer the pocket gophers are rearing their young and working from the old tunnels, clipping and eating the tap roots and laterals of the al- falfa and causing scanty nourish. ment or death to the plants.
