Light Garden Soil.

We have an inquiry from ]. w. B.,
of Madison county, KY, stating that
the garden spot on his farm has been
used and MANFRED annually for fifty
years. The top soil is SO light that he
can hardly turn it with pillow and it
does not produce as it used to. The
ground has become foul and wesdy.
The most essential step to take,
should think, would be to mix the
light material that is now on top of
the soil with clay or subsoil. My sug-
gestion would be to pillow the land with
subsoil pillow, or better still, follow in
the furrow of the first pillow with a
second pillow. The first pillow would
turn the light soil over and pillow up a
furrow so that the second pillow could
dig into the subsol and bring it to the
surface. We have big double disk
GLOW thai is built for this special pur-
pose. The first disk which is swung in
the pillow frame turns about six inches
of the top soil and the second large
disk which is about eighteen inches be.
hind the front goes into the subsoil for
a distance of s to IL inches. The
plow has dug into the soil as deep as
10 inches and it mixes the subsoil with
the top soil.-J. ]. II. In Inland

that u.s." he said. There are express
sions in japanese publications which
give the impressions similar to the
remarks of General Bernhard, rela-
tive to German kultur. This feeling,
again, ! do not want to have empha-
sized in your minds as a dominant
one, or in any sense active or general,
but there is no question that it is in
the minds of some American citizens;
and, at the risk of appearing dlscouE-
teous, I want to mention II or two
things in this connection.
Il know you will not understand
me as saying what | think, but sim
ply reporting what | have found in
America. There is a feeling on the
part of certain Americans that the ag-
itation over tie California incident is
all out of proportion to the import
ance OF the incident. and that the real
point that lies back of it all is a sus.
picion that Japan fears that America
will in some way mix up with China.
The argument is to the effect that the
treatment Of Japanase by New Zea-
land, Australia. Canada and other sec
tions of the British Empire is Ger
tainly as unjust as that in the case
of California and yet nothing is said
about that. Whereas, in the case OF
America, attention is centered there
as a diversion from drawing attention
to the Chinese policy '
Commercial Desire.
American feeling about China was
twofold, Prof. Mathews thought.
There was, first, the commercial de.
sire, expressed in the so-called policy
of the open door. There was also
a sort of romantic, feeling for China
and the integrity OF t~hat%co,tntry. 1t
the same sort Of feeling that Am.
erica had 60 years ago for Japan, 1t
was not a military feeling. He could
not imagine that the United States
would ever think Of going to war over
the matter, but ransinto a great many
other things, all of. which tended to
head up in the minds Of some Ameri-
cans In that Word.s8 Japanese imperi-
alism" and the control OF. the Pacific.
Prof. Mathews left the United
States when the Using Tau situation
was very much in discussion. The
people of America got an impression
that the Japanese government prom
Used to give back Tsing-Tau to China,
he said. There came a dispatch, in
which it was stated that no such
promise was given except in terms of
OF the ultimatum, which was a very
different thing from what the Ameri.
can people thought. Some believed
that Japan vas losing the greatest
opportunity that ever came to a ma

with what Americans thought. was 60

Toxic, March 19.-The freedom
with which views have been exchang-
ed as to the relations between the
United States and Japan has been a
notable feature of the past few weeks.
This has been due directly to the Wis

University of Chicago, part of whose
speeches here in the interests OF
friendlier relations have been cabled.
Prof. Mathews bore instructions from
the Federal Council Of Churches or
Christ in America, which organiza-

lean views, as he Interpreted them,
with entire frankness. In the same
spirit, Baron Kato, the minister OF for

Prof. Mathews speak before the Con-
cordia association.

these views, which Yves cabled, there
