Possible bearing of soil fertility
on the strength and vigor Of men
and animals that feed on crops from
given areas was brought to public
notice last year when a New England
scientist attributed the growing
athletic might of the west to such
cause, and added that eastern teams
will become weaker and weaker as
the soil along the Atlantic coast be-
comes more and more depleted.
In a four-page discussion of the
bearing on soil fertility to crop

Soils, o. S. U.. Prof. John F. Lyman.
agricultural chemist, INDUCES in no
speculatiOns that might connect
Ohio's football victories with Ohio
soil fertility, but he shows definitely
that there is truth to this new idea
of strong population depending up
on a soil rich in mineral constit-
uents.
"All flesh is grass" remarks Prof.
Lyman, quoting Isaiah. Man, like
other animals, gets his nOurishme ent
either directly or indirectly from
vegetable food AS the quality of
crops declines through years of soil
mpoyerishment, it becomes increas-
ingly difficult to produce sufficient
food of animal origin, such as meat,
milk, and eggs. Man is then forced
to depend more and more on cereals
| and vegetables of gradually decreas-
ing food value"
Prof. Lyman points out that blue
grass from limestone land in Ken
lucky may contain three times as
| much lime as bluegrass raised on
| acid soil in Ohio, and gives results
of other experiments along this line.

UNLESS personal convenience is
placed above community concern
he says, Il think it could be shown
that county community needs

POSTAL SAVING SYSTEM
SERVICE HAS GROWN IN
UNITED STATES
Has Not Harmed Business of
Banks As Was Predicted BY
Some Folks

The United States postal savings
system is today marking its tenta
anniversary by issuing a new postal
savings card which will displace the
ten cent postal savings card which
has been in use since the establish
ment of the System on January l.
1911.
The new card will be furnished
free of cost and when ten cent
postal savings stamps have been af-
fixed to it will be accepted at any de-
pository office as a deposit of 81 or it
may be redeemed in cash. The cut
standing feature of the new card is
the translation into tweny four foreign
languages Of the statement that the
faith of the United States is solemnly
pledged to the payment OF deposits
made with the System.
When Service Started
The service was first established
at forty eight postoffices, one In each
state, on January l, 1911, and al
though hampered by many restrict
imum amount allowed on deposit, it
has shown remarkable progress. Post
master General Burleson announces
that the amount on deposit today is
more than $l62, 100000 and its depos
itors have long since passed the one
half million mark.
AS predicted by it's proponents
in the days before the passage OF the
original Postal Savings act, our tor =
eign born citizens have been the
principal patrons of the system.
i've nfyia
look to the government to safeguard
their savings, they naturally expect
this government to do likewise. In
the present food tide of immigration,
each newcomer as he leaves the port
Of entry, receives a leaflet in his own
language outlining the method of
operation of the United States postal
| savings system and urging upon him
the desirability of continuing in this
country the practice of thrift which
has been so necessary IN the country
he has just left. The service is,
therefore, one ofs the most potent
factors in furthering the American.
ization movement.
Does Not Harm Banks
Many banks, usually savings banks
prior to the. establishment OF the
system felt that postal savings sys-
tenn would be a strong competitor but
CApSTt0HC6 udS SHOWN tUdI the pOSCai
savings system draws its patrons not
from depositors in established and
well conducted banks but from among
those who otherwise would not place
their money in any banking institu
ton whatever
The original act of Congress re-
tricted the total amount to be placed
on deposit at $500 and the deposit of
this amounted was limited to not
more than 500 per month. Later the
monthly limitation was entirely re-
moved and the maximum amount in
creased first to $1,000 and then to the
present amount, $4,000. Postmaster
General Burleson, in the annual re-
port just submitted to congress rec
ommends increasing the rate of in
terest to be paid depositors and action
by congress will, no doubt, be taken
along these lines within the near fut-
ure.
The depository system was started
in the Mankato postoffice September
%, 1911, and the business has stead
ly increased.

GROSS EARNINGS LARGE

FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
Added Surplus of $3,410,94S
After Payment of Operat-
ing Expenses

Out of gross earnings of $500
36S during the year 1920, the Fed
eral Reserve bank has retained and
added to its surplus fund $3,410,9
after payment of operating expenses,
setting up reserves for depreciation
upon its new building. charging OFF
the cost OF vault construction at the
Helena branch, and payment of uiV-
idends. The retention by the bank
OF the large sum added to surplus is
in accordance with the amended pro-
visions of the Federal Reserve ACT,

Ia and Montana. The extensions TO
Minnesota are made up largely OF
irediscOunts for member banks at the

transferred to the credit of country
banks and bankers in order to meet
the insistent demands fer additional

The government franchise tax, divi-
dends, and setting up reserves as
authorized by the Federal Reserve
board, served an extremely important
purpose in enabling the bank to car
~ out the provisions of the law and
set up its full surplus as contemplat-
ed by the amended Federal Reserve
act. Earnings will flactuate in pro-
portion to the strain on credit and
will reduce rapidly when the recon
struction period is completed. After
the present year they will accrue to
the government less dividends and
such special charges as the Federal
Reserve beard may permit. The
building up of surplus funds to the
legal limit therefore hastens the time
when the federal treasury will receive
the maximum benefit from reserve
bank operations.
