high over the staamy jungles of
New Guinea, and the pilot watch-
ed the altimeter. Nine thousand
feet read the • dial, Ahead lay a
jagged mountain range, 12,000
feet high, which he had to clear.
He glanced back into the cab-
in where his only passenger
slept heavily. The man on a
stretcher was a violent mental
case
who was being
flown own to 'the
hospital on the coast. Before tak-
ing off he had been heavily dosed
with drugs. "That'll keep him

Ten thousand feet . . . Then
the flier's heart jumped as he
glanced back into the cabin
again. The doctor hadn't allowed
for the effects o£ the high alti-
tude, and the dangerous patient
had come to and was stalking the
pilot!
The demented man came near-
er, Then he sprang. The pilot let
go of the controls and threw
everything into a do-or-die
punch. It clipped the man on the
jaw, and he fell with a groan to
the floor of the 'plane, where
he lay still.
Stlil the pilot fought for

He cleared the peak and, safely
over, went down steeply into

and kept the patient in a safe

That was the recent nerve -
shattering experience of a char-
ter pilot in New Guinea, where
flying conditions are perhaps the
worst in the world but where
the saying is, "You fly or stay
home." Prom Lae on the coast

Australian war ace, 36 -year-
old Bobby Gibbes, D.S.O., D.F.C.
and bar, runs an airline, Gibbes
and Sepik Airways, which
serves a wild area of 20,000
square miles of jungle, fierce
rushing rivers, and rugged
peaks. His strange cargoes bear
out the unofficial motto of the
airlines in this Stone Age part
of the world: "If you can get
it into the 'plane, we'll fly it."
Gibbes' cargoes in one recent
month included: A crate of birds
of paradise for the London Zoo.
Ducks, chickens, cattle, dogs,
and cats. Pythons for an Aus-
tralian zoo.
Natives, says Gibbes, seem to
carry everything they possess,
even old tins. "You can weigh
them. in at night for the next
day's flight," he says, "and in
the morning they will have ac-
cumulated another forty pounds
of luggage apiece. One couple
even acquired a new baby in
the short period between weigh-
ing in and take -off; the mother
just went off into the scrub to
give birth to the child, and was
quite ready to continue the
journey."

.PASTURE
MANAGEMENT
Realizing that good pastures
Fan result in added income to
farmers, the Maritime Fertilizer
Council has come out with a
number of basie "rules''oil pas
-ture management for -the guid-
ance of cattlemen. They are:
1); For a •long-term pasture
one should select. the .very best
land with th
a good sod, as near
to the barn and Water supply
as possible, -
2) If fencing is convenient
and cheap, rotational grazing
in two or three fields will as-
sist-Snaterially - in maintaining
a good sward and • allow wild
white clover to go to seed. This
is a good. precaution in case of
severe winter killing.
3) Complete fertilizers con-
sisting of nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash are generally`fneces-
sary. If the soil Is extremely
acid and cannot be convenient-
llonlyput into a cultivated rota -
lime
should be applied —p p eoferably
in the fall.
4) It Ls much cheaper 10 treat
a good soil with fertilizers and
by harrowing, than to plow
and re -seed it for pasture pur-
poses. If the sod is gone there
is no option.
5) Fertilize at Ieast half an
acre for each full-grown nni-
mai.
6) Keeping the grass well
grazed early in the season will
encourage wild white clover to
develop In place of poorer
grasses, thus Increasing the nu-
trient value of the herbage and
making better late summer pas-
tures,
7) On naturally dry soils, if
fresh water is handy, it will
often pay to install a spray or
other irrigation system.

Grazing on oats sown as a
nurse crop to clover and timothy
has been found to be an excel-
lent supplementary pasture for
part-time grazing without in-
jury to the new seeding. An
acre of oats fertilized at seeding
time with 400 to 500 pounds of
high nitrogen fertilizer such as
6-12-6 or 5-10-10 should pro-
vide an hour or two daily graz-
ing for six or seven cows when
oats are 10 to 12 inches high
for a period of at least two
weeks.
