found in our native soils. II. then,
more than one-third of this organic
matter has been lost from our soils
after less than fifty years OF cultiva-
ton, it make the thoughtful man stop
and consider.
kansas soils show an average ~e-
crease in crop producing power de-
spite the fact that farmers use seed
which is better adapted to, climate
and soil, and improved methods of TIL
lage. Results based ! on chemical
analysis of cultivated and uncuitivateo
soils in seven counties shows that the
elements, -arbon and nitrogen have
disappeared from the cultivated soils
to the largest extent.
1T means that these soils have lost
in round numbers from one-ffth to
two-fifths of the nitrogen, and from
nearly one-fourth to one-half of the
organic matter.
Must Help Soil.
THE least amount of organic mat
ter necessary to return to the SOIL
every year is one ton per acre in addl-
ton to what is now returned in stub
BILE and corn stalks. In addition to re-
turning such substances as straw and
farm manures. some substance must
be added which restores the nitrogen
removed in grain. A bushel OF grain
takes one pound Of nitrogen, bushel OF
wheat one and one-third pounds. The
best method Of obtaining this nitrogen
is by growing legumes such as alfalfa.
But this nitrogen will not be restored
to the soil if all the hay is exported
from the farms. Some of the best agri-
cultural investigators are. of the opin-
ion, based on scientific experiments.
that legumes on the average take only
as much nitrogen from the air as is
found in the hay"
Search for Potash.
During Tuesday evenings session of
the academy, E. e. Lyder spoke on the
search for potash in Kansas. Mr.. Ly-
der said: The salt bed in this state
investigated by the state division OF
chemical research lies in the central
part of the state and underlies part
of sixteen counties. It's greatest thick
ness is at Kingnan county. where it
is 416 feet thick. Kansas rock salt
runs in purity from IS to 80 per cent,
calcium sulphate being the chief i'm
purity
In spea king of the nutritive factor s
in health and disease, c. F. Nelson
said: Recent Investigations show that
quality as well as quantity must be
compared in our food stuffs. This es-
pecially true in infant feeding where
growth must be considered"

MARKERS BY ATHLETICS
GlascO Basketball Team to Play for
Red Line Benefit.

The officials of the Red Line have
devised a novel method of marking
the line all the way from Kansas City
to Denver, according to a letter re-
ceived today from J. F. Davidson OF
Glasco, president, by E. L. Overton,
director from Shawnee county.
The plan is to send out a basketball
team of five boys in an auto furnished
by the association, and to arrange
games at each town along the line
In the daytime the boys will paint the
poles and put up signs. Each town
will be expected to furnish $25 and
paw hotel expenses

Washington, Sept. 10.-Although the
problem of re-adjusting the foreign
exchange market has not been solved
reports today to the Federal Reserve
Board from prominent New York
bankers indicated that conditions have
improved greatly and that there Is
little cause for concern.
j. P. Morgan, Jacob II. Schiff and
Benjamin Strong, Jr., New York bank
ers, conferred with the board today
for two hours. Their visit had to dc
with the part New York City banks
are expected to play in relieving the
foreign exchange market, but 1t was
said tonight that they also were able
to state that conditions throughout
the country showed marked improve
ment.
The bankers told the board that New
York banks stand prepared to under
write the $S0.0o0O00 obligations of New
York in the hands of European cred
itors which come due within the next
few months. In return members OF the
board expressed the view that New
York banks should not be requested

rope. New York's ssO0OO.00O was In
cluded in the $780, 900 suggested by
the recent bankers conference here as
necessary to care for all such obliga-
tions.
The board has not acted formally
upon the plan for creating the $780,
100000 pool, but has passed from con-
sideration of the principle involved to
details. One point which has caused
discussion is the suggestion that the
board indicate the amount of gold &c
be contributed by each bank.
