Columbia Flies To Croyden Field From Scilly Isles «Continued from page one) “They drove us 150 miles out of our course. We were scrapping head- winds practically all of the way across the Atlantic Ocean.” Because of lack of visibility navi- gator Connor was forced to fly blind all during Thursday night. He could not check up his position from the stars, as might ordinarily have been done in clear weather. Connor, al- though not an experienced aviator, is a seaman of long record, having Served as mate and navigator on Ocean liners. In the early hours of yesterday morning, in an effort to get a chance to compute his position and set a course, Cap\ Boyd pulled the ship up to an altitude of 12,000 feet. Even this did not suffice to give them an opportunity to obtain a reckoning and coming down lower they continued to fly blind until about noon. Makes Pretty Landing The Columbia's good fortune rode with her to the end of the woyage. ‘The vast assemblage, which swarmed the airfield and dotted all nearby roofs, saw the plane come into view with the sun glinting on her golden wings and then witnessed as nerfect @ landing as Croydon ever had known. Levine, the New York owner from whom the Columbia was leased for the’ flight, headed the crowd which rushed across the airfield to meet the ship. He clambered onto a wing and State Highway Commi: Bt et Te eal lg M. Chief Engineer and Secretary. 10—4-11-18 ‘ ‘the machine continued to tax! down chatted excitedly with the fliers and the fjeld.

We were jump- ing about, ¥rom just over the water to an altitude of 7,000 feet, trying to get out of clouds so as to give naviga- tor Connor a chance to shoot the stars and record our position. It got very cold high up and registered 32 degrees so, fearing that ice would settle on the machine we came down to a lower level.” Captain Boyd and his flying mate gave a lot of credit to the artificial horizone instrument in the plane which helped them to find their way across. 4 Cross-winds Were Strong The cross winds they encountered, | and which drove them out of their course, at times reached a velocity up to 60 miles an hour. These cross winds, the birdmen said, beset them from yesterday morning to around mid-day. trouble, however, was the fact that yesterday morning the airmen found themselves unable to get gasoline from a 100 gallon tank in the fuselage. From this time on they had to depend upon a regular tank which was get- ting low. ‘was simply a question of cleaning the Pipe to the carburetor and getting more gas. This done, they were ready to take off again. Just before landing at Tresco the fliers dumped the 100 gallon fuselage tank to minimize the danger of fire on landing. some of flying back to America but the Canadian said upon arrival here today he did not believe they would attempt it now because of the late- ness of the season, POWERFUL WEST COAST TEAM HELD SCORELESS ‘(Continued from page one) right guard.

Yields, however, were estimated at 6.3 per cent below those of a year ago, according to the estimates, which were based on October 1 reports com- pared to reports 30 days earlier. The prospective production of corn, damaged by the drought, was placed at 2,046,716,000 bushels, as compared with an estimate of 1,982,765,000 a month ago, and a production of 2,614,- 307,000 a year ago. The wheat crop, relatively unaffect- ed by the protracted hot and dry weather, was estimated at 839,612,000 bushels, as against 837,761,000 predict- ed @ month ago, and 806,000,000 pro- duced last year. Spring wheat production was esti- mated at 242,220,000 bushels, with 240,369,000 predicted September 1, and @ crop of 228,006,000 in 1929. Winter wheat was forecast on Oc- tober 1 condition at 597,000,000 bush- els, compared with a production a year ago of 578,000,000 bushels. Durum was placed at 52,314,000 bushels, with 52,380,000 produced last year. Other wheat was estimated at 189,906,000 bushels, compared with 175,626,000 last year. The improvement in crop prospects was shared by 41 states. Kentucky and West Virginia, with yields estimated at about 42 per cent below the usual average in those states, showed the poorest prospects. Virginia, Missouri, Arkansas and Mon- tana yields were estimated at 30 per cent or more below the average.
