By old methods this tour, of " inspection wond have taken7' all of week, the men report. Mr. Nelson, In speaking of the matter, remarked: "For rirlns In prospects general showing the aeroplane Is both practical and economical,. In showing cut OTer lands and timber tracts It sees to me that It is almost In dispensable. By carefully map ping the tracts to be shown as we did l& this ease, Mr. Adams with the assistance of his com pass and spedometer was able to follow the property lines with a greater accuracy than could be done in other manner. Of course before making a final decision a careful checking must be made of the particular tract In j Ques tion to determine the nature of the soil and so on. We expect to make the aeroplane service a part of our operations In the fu ture. We are fortunate to hare nch a splendid airport making this serrice possible, thanks to the boys of the AmericabJ.
