In place of the orderly and flourishing crops approach ing maturity, there now exists, between plots of winter greens and Spiing cabbages, far too much ground undisturbed since the summer crops were cleared. I he weeds ...

Birds have always been capable of damaging aircraft, but the risk was so ...
