LIMESTONE IS OF MUCH
 BENEFIT TO THE SOILS
Farmers of Southeast Advocate It's Use Before Applying
 Fertilizer.

Little Rock, Aug. O.-App1ication of crushed limestone on the soil before attempting to begin the heavy use ot commercial fertilizer was urgd by the successful cotton growers of Georgia and the Carolinas, according to H. M Cottrell, agriculturist of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Lit tie Rock Board of Commerce.
 During the recent tour I rode with W. w. Tomlinson for 100 miles through the cotton fields of Wilson county, NC, and inspected 137 farms," says Mr. Cottrell. MT. Tomlinson is the senior member of one of the largest supply ] stores in that part of North Carolina. One item in this sale of his store was the sale of 3O,0OO tons of commercial fertilizer last spring Mr. Tomlinson has, on account of his large credit bus mess, had to know for 20 years the methods used by hundreds of farmers and their cash returns. He raised 500 acres of cotton every year on his own farms. making an average of bale an acre and members of his family raise hundreds of acres.
 Every few minutes MT Tomln- son would urge our party to get the Arkansas cotton growers to use lime on their land before they attempted to apply large quantities of commercial fertilizer. We passed field after field of cotton with good stands; plants all of the same height and heavily fruited. Many of these nIgh-yIelding fields had received applications of crushed limestone MT. Tomlinson told us how much had been used when 1t was applied.
 Occasionally we would see in a field spot where the growth of the cotton plant was weak. MT. Tom1in- son would call our attention to it and tell us that the spot should be better drained and thin lime applied He would point out places in good field where the growth was even all over and tell us that so many years ago those places produced a weak growth they were well drained and treated with crushed limestone and now the cotton yields as well on them as in the best parts of the field.
 MT. Tomlinson says that every square foot in a field must have soil well drained and sweet 10 produce

Japanese Bonds Decline

N. Nagaike, representative here of
the Bank of Japan, yesterday an
nounced that the banks discount rate
was pei, cent and not 10 per cent, as
ket rate, however, is 10 per cent. On
the news of the financial depression
there was fairly heavy selling of the
Japanese sterling bonds of 1925. The
high for the day was 76hs and the
low 74%, compared with 771s and 76%
respectively, on the previous day. The
second series of 1925 and the sterling
bonds maturing 1881 reacted CORE
spondingly. Japanese bankers said
that despite temporary difficulties in
Japan fundamental conditions were
sound and the bonds >xere unqucs-
t,onably safe. particularly in view of
the fact that Japan has credit balances
amounting to $55o,oo0,0oo in New York
and London. The balance is about
equally divided between tho two citie.

Progressive Discount Rates

Details of the plans of the Kansas

member bank under the new plan for
progressive discount rates were made
public yesterday. The basic line, ac-
cording to advices from that city, will
be changed monthly on the average of
the calendar month Immediately pre-
ceding. 1t is believed that this new
system will curb credit expansion in
that district. The adoption of the
new principle is optional with each
Reserve bank, and it is understood
that the New York Federal Reserve
Bank does not contemplate the adop-
tion Of the new system in the immedi-

Bid and Asked
Stromberp Carburetor

stromberg Carburetor, indexed by
Wall Street among "Ryan stocks"
lived up to its reputation as speedy
performer yesterday. Folk trading in
Stromberg on narrow margin must
have received numerous calls from
their brokers during the course of the
day. The stock opened at 100 and
its low point was 81. At the close it
was off IA points net at Sc. The
real action came in the stock in the
last half hour of trading. 1t was SELL
ing at 90 and appeared to be hold
ing its own when the ticker printed a
transaction at 90. This was 10 points
down on a single sale. Tape readers
in hundred or more stock exchange
houses scratched their heads in unison,
arguing that it must be a mistake.
But when moment later the ticker
printed trade at 81 the quotation
was accepted. Scarcely before it had
been put up on quotation boards an
other trade was made at So, then one
at 80, and then at 80. In the final
swirl of prices Stromberg dropped
back to Sc, and margin clerks heaved
great sighs of relief.

Baldwin Locomotive

Baldwin Locomotive proved sore
disappointment to many of its friends
yesterday when it broke under 1870.
The pool apparently took lot Of
stock on the way down. Baldwin suf
fered not only from the general market
unsettlement, but from rumors that one
of the vigilance committees of the New
York Stock Exchange had warned the
pool managers against manipulative
practices in making the market in the
stock. President St. Phalle, who
is in charge of the foreign sales of the
Baldwin company, has confirmed the
eport that while in Rumania President
auclain signed contract with the
Rumanian government for the delivery
of fifty standard gauge consolidation
locomotives, together with spare parts
and machinery. Payment is to be
made by month consignment, which
makes the deal a barter arrangement.
Twenty five of the locomotives are to
be built by the American Locomotive
Company, which indicates that two
companies are working together in Ru
mania as we'll as in Belgium.

Transcontinental Oil

The disappointment of oil operators
over the result of drilling operations
in the Duke Knoles" pool is ex-
pressed by F. B. PARROT, president of
the Transcontinental Oil Company, in
the company's report to stockholders
for the FIVE months ended December
81. AT the time your company was
organized said Mr.. PARROT, sit ac-
quired what was known as the Duke
knoles' block of leases comprising
about $500 acres in Comanche County.
Texas. upon which the Duke and
Knoles wells had been drilled, both of
which came in large oil wells of the
gusher class. Other large oil wells
were drilled in by companies owning
acreage around this block, and it was
considered by practical oil men as one
of the richest pools that had ever. been
developed in the United States. The
result, however. of further drilling by
your company was very disappointing
and number of wells proved to be
small producers, several others finding
only gas, and a humber were totally
dry. The results obtained in this de-
velopment were without precedent in
any Of the large oil fields that had
been developed in the past and could
not have been foreseen. The dsap-
pointment in this field was shared
alike by other operators and pipe line
companies, several of whom spent mil
lions of dollars in drilling operations
and in laying large pipe lines" Trans
continental stock sold down to a new
low record of 1874 yesterday.

Wall Street has had to contend before
with the activities of legislators who
would either put the Stock Exchange
under government regulation or re-
strict dealings in securities to an ex-
tent that would probably kill specu-
lative activity. Sponsors of the present
system assert that the restriction of ali
purchases and sales to actual cash
transactions would tend to destroy the
investment market, as it is necessary for
important banking interests at times
to enter the speculative market in order
successfully to carry out their plans

improperly trained teachers, while the
drop In enrolment of normal schools
has become alarming. The reports Of
state school superintendent concurred
In the conclusion that there il but one
general cause Of the shortage: the In.
adequate salaries paid to teachers and
the ability of teachers To get bigger
wages in other lines II was shown
that the efficient teacher Is the first To
find relief from inadequate pay by
seeking work in some other line II Is
expected that the result Of the confer
