production OF a crop?
II, for instance, there Is only enough
nitrogen in the soil to produce Y
bushels of corn or ITS pounds OF cot
ton per acre, while there is enough
plant food elements of other kinds te
produce enormously more. how thet
can greater yields be obtained than tha

The problem Of plant feeding is
therefore, no simple one. 1t has en-
gagged long and most careful inVesu

Manufactured. Soil deficiencies, OF

Have you ever wanted to go in
the movies-as one of the world
famous stars whose salaries are
absolutely enormous?
Let Mary Pickford tell you how
to do it. We have just found an
article from her pen in Harper's
Bazaar for April. She tells briefly,
but convincingly, just what to do;
and it doesn't sound quite so easy
as we all imagine! If you have
even the least, wee ambition to
shine on the screen, don't miss

ash Every soil may be said to have a
limiting factor of production. This
may be a shortage Of some plant food
element II so, this should be sup
piled through fertilization IL the larg.
est possible yields are to be obtained.
No matter how much Of other plant
food a soil may contain. II there is q
shortage OF nitrogen, for example, then
nitrogen will fix the limits OF produc-
ton. Likewise with phosphoric acid or
other elements.
Plants differ from animals in taking
food, in that plants will take foods
only when the elements composing
them are in soluble form, that is, when
they are dissolved In water. .When
one element Is deficient the plant
ceases growing.

.PRESBYTER|ANS HAVE
REUNION QUESTION UP
Northern Branch, Meeting i'll Dallas,
May Not Reach Decision Today
or Proposed Merger.

BY The Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, May lS.-The 1.sth
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church in the United States Of America
opened it's second session today with
prospect uncertain as to whether the
proposal for a reunion of the two fac
tions of the church, the north and the
south, would be broached during the
day.
I'VE are waiting for the psychological
moment" said one leader.
With election of DIR. j. Wilbur Chap
man of Jamaica, n. Y. former evangel-
ist, as moderator, late yesterday the
general assembly took a step which
many of the delegates said went a
long way toward furthering prospects
for reunion Of the. two branches of
the church--the north and the south.
Many delegates contended that DR..
Chapman, as head of the assembly.
would exert an influence toward a re-
uniting of the two factions, which was
promising.
Two other candidates We're nominated
for the moderatorship, Dr. Harlan G.
Mendenhall of New York and DIR. John
8. Kendall. president OF Lincoln Uni
veSity. Lincoln, Pa The vote was.
Chapman. $50: Kendall. 13a, and
Mendenhall. 121. The election was
made unanimous by acclamatiou upon
Montreal. Canada.
DIR. John NJ Carson of Brooklyn
nominated DR.. Chapman and apparently
struck responsive chord when he said
DR.. Chapman was the man who could
do most toward bringing about a re-
union of the two church factions.
Just when and in what form the
proposed reunion of the two church
factions will be broached prominent
men of the. assembly refused to predict.
