The North Carolina bulletin issued

Natures plan of improving soils is
to use a cover o~op OF weeds. grass.

sending the roots down one. two. three

airing and enriching the subsoil with
out bringing 1t to the surface.
In the farmers cooperative demon
stration work the importance OF q

widely demonstrated. Thousands OF

exact and painstaking farmers I o an
extent that leaves no possible room
for doubt as to the great value OF a
deep and thoroughly prepared seed
bed.
Concretely stated. a deep, thorough
ly pulvertzed seed bed filed with
humus has he following advantages:
~ 1t provides more food, because
1t increases chemical action and mui-
tiplies bacterial life in q larger body
Of soil.
(2) 1t stores more moisture It
loses Its moisture less rapidly on &C.
count of its cooler lower strata and
the presence of more humus.
(3) 1t allows plants to root deeper
and fnd permanent moisture.
"a 1t increases the number of roots
that a plant will throw out.
(5) 1t largely obviates the necessity
Of terracing. because 1t holds so much
water in suspension that heavy rain
falls will 60 to the bottom and be held
by the drier earth above until they
car be absorbed by the subsoil.
(6) Humus enables the soil to store
more moisture, increases its tempera-
ture, makes it more porous, furnishes
plant food, stimulates chemical action
and fosters bacterial life.

PlayIess Youth Makes Restless

New York.-The reason why 30
many husbands forty to fifty years of

cases. desert them is. according to
Mrs. Mary Austin. because boys are
made to assume the burden OF life
too early. Just az q young colt may
be ruined by premature breaking to
harness. SO the moral fiber of youth
may be weakened permanently By as
suming too early the obligations Of
maturity, she thinks.
Mrs. Austin, who wrote THE Ar

author Of several novels, has been
making a study Of conditions in the
domestic relations court recently.
