This demons!rales that I the Wright airship 1“ the be.-.t. And the success attained shows that at | i ~.! the problem of aerial navigation j is about to ho solved. It Is said that the aeroplane Is no lew thing. Centuries ago Keonar 'o da Vinci constructed a flyl ig ma i hltic. It consisted of a hollow metal cylinder with a rudder sod two wings : When this did not fiy, Leonardo In | vented a second apparatus which he modeled after the bat. The wings lof his machine had five lingers, pro | t ided with Joints so that they could i.e opened out or folded together again Toe lingers were connected by i a web of raw silk and fine leather strap*. The steering apparatus, In the place of the tall, was covered with feathers, la onardo's mechanic, Zoroaßt.ro da I’erHoia, tried this won derful machine with the result that lie broke most of his ribs, precisely us did. four hundred yen's Inter, the German experimenter, j.llieitihal. at t,■ t h, had flown 2,0 yard#, with a similar ftylni' machine. Leonardo | next studied the flight ot the chicken hawk as a basis of further ex pet I tnent. The screws of his machines wire very much like those In use t,.d ■ , and he showed consldorab'e acipialntance with parachutes. No lets tin authority Ilian Nicola Tesla, having in mind nil these re |.<uted failures, pronounces the sttc v ,-siul In avler than air dying Itnt i-hllie nit Irapoaslhllity.

The \V tight brothers have succeeded, where d" Vinci sod olhvi predecessors failed, that is all. The correct prlncblpl* of aerial navigation having been discovered. It remains now only that It be perfett od.

The Greene County Farmer*’ I'nlon, at Us recent meeting, passed a reso lution that all Us members plant a large crop of both wheat and oats. This was a timely subject for discus sion, and wise action to take. If the farmers of Greene county will live up to this resolution they will cer tainly benefit themselves. Arid If the farmers of other counties would take ! like action It would result in great good. It Is not yet time to sow small grain, but, the time for early sowing Is near at Ijand. Now Is the firm to make preparations for It. When the farmer has settled this point, and has determined to plant more small grain Ilian he has been doing, he can make up his mind u« to what fields or portions of fields he will devote to them, and In the usual routine of farm work he can now make neces sary preparations to greater advan I tage than he could If he held this mat- J ter In abeyance. If the land be now | In cotton and a grain crop is the best to follow cotton in a crop rota tlon system—he can get thut field picked first. If the land Is to be fertilized with home-made fertilizers, he may have It put on the ground now, while tho teams are net ether wise busy: and then at ihe earliest 'possible lime his grain could be sown. Of the advantages of raising an ample crop of wheat anil oats on the farm It is needless to speak. Every farmer understands this, and it is Im-xpllclhle why more attention has not been paid heretofore to the grow ing of small grain, especially of oats. They arc so easily grown, and are such fine feed for horses and mules that It Is passing strange that not mere attention has lu-en given this crop Sometimes an eat crop Is a failure. Hut no crop is exempt from this risk. The cotton crop in this section will fall short of being half a crop this year. In the swamp lands thy entire corn crop has been lost. If the farm era would plant nothing concerning which there was no risk the farms I would remain unfilled. The risk with an nat crop Is not greater than with other crops. j Really, It ls less. It very rarely | happens that both Ihe “early and later sown ' will fall. Seasons which make for a short crop of fall sown onlm usually arp the making of spring oats, and vice versa. The farmer who sows both fall and spring oats Is almost certain to strike I; right with one of them, If not with both. If tho land was properly prepared. Fall oats should he sown early enough so as to be well rooted before th« winter cold sets In Young oats are very susceptible to cold. On [light lands a slight freeze will kill [them If It catches them In ihe lender stage of young growth. It Is cry iar ( > Indeed that In this section wc have cold sufficiently severe to kill !oais that are well rooted, but almost every winter we have roid enough Ito kill oats w hich are caught by a slight freeze just after they have I come up. So fall oats should bo | planted early. Even now Is not too early. Another area! mistake made In planting oat* la to select for lhem some «|Hil of land that la fit for noth lug else. On such land they are plant ed In the cheapest manner possible, and then. If they make a poor re turn, the oat crop Is condemned aa something unprofitable. It would be no mistake to give the best land lo oal*. io ferttitle the land well, and lo put It In line tilth. Where this la done the most liberal return may be expected The same land could afterwards be planted in peas, assuring not only another crop of the heat stock feed off the same land. Imt leaving It in condition to make an extra tine crop nf cotton the succeeding year. The farmer* of Greene county have done wisely In deciding to plant more small grain The farmers through out this section should do the same. But the Governor Vetoed It. The Georgia legislators, not unlike the South Carolina aolons, sometimes pass very foolish, as wrll as unjust, measures. Th,. general assembly of our sister state recently passed an act authorlring pollcenifti and nre men to ride free on slivi t ears. It Is Just as reasonable to require th,. dry goods merchant or the grocer to fur nish policemen and tlreinen with free dry goods and groceries aa It Is to ask street railway companU* to give them tree trans|a,rtatlon.
