Jolt 6, 1911. 



over the bay, follow the Olympic until 

 be could make sure that he could drop 

 the bundle on the deck, and then fly 

 back to his starting point, the Crescent 

 Club. "While several hundred members 

 of the club and guests looked on from 

 the shore, Sopwith was seen to sail 

 gracefully out over the bay and to fol- 

 low the Olympic southward. Then he 

 was seen to take a downward swoop, 

 until it seemed from the shore that he 

 would land on the deck of the liner. 

 But with fine precision, showing that 

 his biplane was under perfect control, 

 he arose again, and as he started up- 

 ward a white object was seen to drop 

 toward the steamship. Across the bay 

 came the raucous sound of the salute 

 of the Olympic's whistle. The decks 

 of the steamship were suddenly seen to 

 become white with waving handker- 

 chiefs. But a wireless reported the par- 

 cel fell into the sea. 



BOHNEKT INCBEASES ACBEAOE. 



Waldo Eohnert has purchased from 

 the Ausaymas Eanch Co., Hollister, Cal., 

 286 acres of land for $50,000. The land 

 ia located about one-half mile south- 

 east of Dunneville Corners, adjoining 

 a tract of 200 acres owned by Mr. 

 Bohnert, and the entire 486 acres will 

 be used for a seed farm. The land just 

 purchased is considered the best in San 

 Benito county for seed raising, and this 

 is one of the most important real estate 

 transactions that has taken place in the 

 county for some time.

Correspondingly high readings were made all 

 OTer the pea and bean districts at the opening 

 of the week. 



Such extreme shade temperatures, 

 coming at a critical time for the peas, 

 have done great damage, cooking the 

 vines, inducing premature ripening and 

 still further reducing a crop that never 

 had a chance of being large. 



MAINE POTATO OUTLOOK. 



According to G. Fred Snow, special 

 agent of the Bangor & Aroostook rail- 

 road, who has just returned home from 

 a tour along the line, Aroostook potato 

 fields never looked better than those of 

 the present season. He expects the crop 

 to equal, if not exceed, that of last 

 year, although estimates at this time 

 of year may prove rather unsatisfac- 

 tory later on. As to acreage, this year's 

 crop will occupy somewhere in the vi- 

 cinity of 90,600 acres — about the same 

 aa a year ago. The coming crop is like- 

 ly to be of much better quality than 

 that of 1910.
