are the siIty bottom lands which have q large percentage of vege- table matter and are well suppli- ed with nitrogen and phosphOr- Ous but are probably deficient in available potash and by reason of their being poorly drained the nitrogen and phosphorous are not as available as they should be to promote rapid maturity.
 The writer leaves out the Mountain soils in the northern part of the county and the prairie soils in the south. not be- ing familiar with their cOmposi- ton.
 Of all types of soils enumerat ed the fifth is the only one that does not need vegetable matter, all the others should have q systematic rotation of crops that would permit but one crop of a kind to be grown on the land every three years and one of these should be legume crop that could be DlOWed under. then by the judicious use of conner cial fertilizer maximum yields could be obtained. with the Soy Bean or the Cowpea 1t is possible to get q money crop and a soil improving crop from the land at the same time and when they gre either moved for hay or turned and the land sowed to winter cover crops the soil will rapidly improve.
 In writer's experience the Soy Bean Is superior to the COwpea for soil improvement markedly.

Soil Improvement

Now while cotton Is so low in price and the necessity of cut ting 1.-the acreage IS imperative is an excellent time to begin on Il system of soil improvement by the use of legumes and livestock, using for this purpose the Cow pea the Soy or Sofa Bean the Velvet Bean and the Peanut.
 It will he recalled that last year the profitable Farming Bureau conducted a tour to the CarOlinas and Georgia where cotton yields have reached| the fabulous total of three bales and more to the acre. these enormous yields were made with the liner al use of commercial fertilizers but they would have been impOs- siblc without previous preparat- ion tor several years with legumes as the basic of a thorO- nghly practically rotation of crops.
 Soil. may be built up throu gh rotation of crops without blow ing under any of the vines of the legumes mentioned if winter cover crops are planted to keep the soil from teaching during the winter. but the process will be hastening if a crop of cowpeas or soy beans are plowed under once in three years.
 The soils of the country may be roughly grunped in five divis ions. first in importance being the uplards with a distinct red dish color derived from the clay subsoil, these are generally de- iicient in vegetable matter and as a consequence are delicniet in nitrogen and phosphorous but have an abundance of potash, second in importance are the creek bottoms which are con- posed of the eroded hillsides and which are generally supplied with d fair amount of nitrogen phOsphoric acid and potash. but as a rule they are deficient also In vegetable matter consequently do not contain the amounts of plant foods necessary to produce maximum yields. third in impor. tance are the soils on the tops of the ridges. they are generally of q lighter color than Ihe other ,,p- lands, showing less mineral mat. ter in their makeup and having in common with the other soils mentioned a deficiency of vese- table matter. fourth in import ance are the sandy river bottoms which are generally we'll suppli. ed with vegetable matter hut whose fertility varies greatly depending upon the percentage of vegetable matter, and tifth

factor in the decision of the American
Smelling G. Refining directors TO main
tain the 81 dividend rate on the COM
mon stock. 1t was learned after the
close Of the market that the plan under
consideration involves the issuance Of
debentures against surplus stocks of
copper metal the debentures to be liqui-
dated through the sale Of copper
abroad. Copper men pointed out that
this method might bring about sharp
price advance in the metal as the in
tention of the producers is to pool
practically all the surplus Of :ehned

that the Steel Corporation had started

that the leading factor in the industry
will trail after the independents IN
putting into effect wage reductions as
it has been able to keep up high rate
of operations and earnings owing to It's
