New York city, and they reasoned 1t
out this way: If little walking
would do a little good, then a lot of
walking would do a lot Of good.
So on. the 18th of this month they
started out to do q lot of walking.
and that's why they arrived here yes

through Washington to San Fran
cisco and return.

URBANA. ILL.,, Aug. 1.-THE Uni.
versity of Illinois is conducting ex.

The experiments deal with soil fer.

the use of lime and rock phosphate.
The field on which the experiments
are being made was decided to the
university in 1912 and was said to be
one OF the poorest pieces Of land in
JASPER county. It is the largest soil
experiment field in southern Illinois.
Such results. the statement says, re
