PLANE LANDS HERE Hundreds Watch Plane Malte Landing Here. Les Meadows, chief pilot for the Shields Flying service at Swan Island, Portland, and How ard Puariea, of the Portland Sand & Gravel company, also a pilot, flying a Travelair plane landed at the Vernonia aviation field shortly after noon Satur day. The plane was seen flying about 200 feet above the houses near the field shortly before noon and after several attempts the plane, piloted by Les Mea dows, made a perfect landing directly opposite the hangar. In a few minutes fully 10,0 persons had gathered to see the plane, a Traveta’ir, J.R., and equipped with a Wright whirlwind 200 H. P. motor. It was one of the prettiest ships ever seen on the Vernonia field. When asked how they hap pened to land here, they said they were flying for the fun of it and were looking over the field. After stretching their legs for about 15 minutes they took off in a northeasterly direction, af ter taxying to the extreme south end of the field.

A. Nelson, county agriculturist. “This nursery contains 33 plantings from a number of cer tified potato growing counties in the state. Varieties included are Burbanks, Netted Gems, Earliest of All, Bliss Triumph, Cobbler and some common stock which is being grown in comparison with the certified stock.” “These trials were put out on Than Brown’s pdace at Yxnk- ton. who grows the largest amount of certified potatoes in this county. Mr. Brown is also president of the Columbia Coun ty Potato Growers* association. A field meeting will be held in June to look over these vari eties to see if they are free of disease and compare them with the common stock. Will also hold another meeting this fall at digging time to check the yield and quality of the pota toes. J.
