J. Willard Baldwin, new proprie

I was the speaker Tuesday at the
luncheon meeting of the Rotary club
and gave some interesting informa
tion on the operation, benefits and
pleasures of airplanes. He has
flown his own planes the past sev
oral years and forecasts extensive
private use of planes after the war.
The planes will be employed for
a variety of purposes, with commer
cial transport of passengers, trans
port of freight, and pleasure flying
by individuals as the principal
classifications.
But planes are of little use unless
ere are landing fields, many of
them,
ty should be so supplied, that they
are n °t expensive to build or main
tain when not intended for army or
(commercial use, and they will be
very important in intercommunity
life.

He interspersed factual informa
tion with narratives from experi
the cost of air travel in one's own
j plane, which was disclosed as äs
tonishingly low.
The speaker was presented by C.

business Baldwin bought.

MAKE EVERY
TON COUNT
Some beets are being topped too
low. A farmer can lose nearly a ton
per acre by losing one ounce per beet
as the result of too low topping.
Sugar content is high and every ton
of beets is going to bring a high price.
Correct topping will save the great
er part of the total cost of the topping
labor.
Many workers are topping beets
this year for the first time. Friendly
Supervision and instruction is the way
to increase your beet check—and pro
duce more sugar, which is vitally
needed for war and civilian needs.
