and the improvement of the soil are
important points in favor of the prac.

Exten-
sion Work Outlined

Washington, ID. CA report on the
United States department of agricul-
ture on the Belle Fourche reclamation
project in South Dakota from 1907
to 1915, inclusive, has just beer pub
lished by the department as a bulle-
tin of the bureau of plant industry.
Irrigation experiments were possible
only after 1912 when water became
available, but the dry-land phase of
the Investigations extended through
out the nine-year period. The work
was carried on comparatively by the
Investigations, alkali and drought-re-
sisting plant Investigations, the bio
physical laboratory, the forest ser
vice and the office of corn investiga-
tons.
Experiments were made in methods
as applied to irrigation, rotations, the
breaking Of dry land, the %pasturing of
hogs on alfalfa and corn, and the
pasturing of sheep on alfalfa. Cul-
tural experiments were made with al
falfa, pasture grasses, different vari-
cites of grains, potatoes. and trees f,
and shrubs. While the experiments
have not been conducted long enough
to warrant the belief that the results
are conclusive, it is believed that
some of the points brought out may !
be of value to farmers operating under
conditions similar to those on the
Belle Fourche project.
In the rotation experiments it was
foand that sugar .beets gave poorest
results when following q grain crop.
The highest yield of beets was OBJ
tanned in a two-year rotation Of pota
toes and beets, MANFRED, This yield
was 1873 tons when y tons OF ma

THE WEAR OF COINS.
Chemical Action Has More to Do With
Il Than Has Abrasion,


In the latest report of the British
mint Sir Thomas II. Rose, a well
known me~allurgic2l expert. calls at
tention to the effect of grease derived
from the sweat of the fingers or from
other sources in a~Gcelerating the wear
of coins, which Is usually attributed
entirely to abrasion.
Sir Thomas says that the fatty acids
Of the grease have q corrosive action
upon the metal. Copper In particular,
even If present only in small quantity
as an alloy for gold or silver, is con,
verted into an oleate, stearate or other
salt.
Hagen Smit of the Utrecht mint
found by analysis that the dirt on a
bronze coin contained 80 per cent of
copper In the form Of powdered com
pounds Of the fatty acids. When the
coin is handled the dirt Is in part de-
tached, and the coin undergoes a loss
of weight.
Gold or silver is not readily convert
ed into salts. but removing the copper
leaves the less easily attacked metals
in a spongy form that offers little re-
sistance to abrasion.
In new coins the rapid loss Of weight
that occur is doubtless caused at first
by abrasion, but when the rough edges
may prove to be of the first impor-
lance In the succeeding deterioration.
