We had an ice famine here al
most all the summer, the local

to get small supply occasionally,
and frequently having none at all.
There is room here for an ice fac

The ANALYSIS OF A SINGLE ieo-
LATED soIL SAMPLE is OF
VERY LITTLE vAlU4.

From Experiment station -

Sent In.

There Is q widspread belief among
farmers that the chemical analysis OF
a soil will show exactly the kind and
amount Of fertiliEer 1t requires In order
to produce maximum crops. Expert.
enoe has shown. however, that this 10
by no means true and that. in fact, the
analysis of Q single. isolated soil sam
Die is of very little value indeed. &C
cording to s. 8. Walker, soil chemist.
Experiment Station. Louisiana State
University. Moreover. II the samples
are not so taken AZ to represent the
average soil of the field, the analysis
is likely to be misleading and there
fore worse than useless, he says.
Mr.. Walker suggests that q much
moro effective way to solve soil chem.
ical problems is to make q systematic
study of the various soil types, supple
mentins the chemical analyses with
actual field tests to determine which
fertilizers give the best results on each
type of soil. The Experiment Station
Is now conducting q careful survey OF
the soils of Louisiana in order to learn
the distribution and composition OF the
different soil types. The work will be
followed up with field tests.
1t may be that the general type to
which q soil belongs has already been
analysed. On the other hand. an anal
ysis Of q certain soil may make a val
uable addition to the data already oh
tained. At any rate, samples should
not be sent for analysis without first
writing to the Station. giving q de-
scription of the location and charac'
ter of the land and asking for instruc'
tions. Such letters should be addressed
to Soil Laboratory. Experiment Sta
ton, Louisiana State University, Baton
Rouge.

Wilson's return to Paris from Italy
means the opening of the final dis
cussions between French statesmen
on the one side and American and
British on the other, concerning the
attitude of the peace conference to-
ward the organization of the league
of nations.
The basic principles OF the pro-
ceedings of the peace conference
will be decided by the debates of the
next few days in Paris. This means
that the present week may become
critical in its influences upon the
worlds future.
Premier Clemenceau is holding out
for new quadruple alliance to con
sist of France, Great Britain, Italy
and the United States which shall, in
effect, challenge the central powers
and Russia to contest for world
dominion.
Allied statesmen are in some re-
