Farm leaders throughout Iowa and
Missouri have approved as thorough
~ sound and timely the proposal by
M. +. Miller, professor of soils at the
Missouri College of Agriculture, that
the best way to meet present low
prices of grain is for the farmer to
+tstore his corn in the ground" BY
this Mr.. Miller means that continu-
Gus cropping of land to grain crops
has run down the soil fertility and
interfered with rotations and sod
crops until it is high time that many
fields be returned to grass and clover.
With a return to the approved rota-
tions including legume crops there
will be stored in the soil the elements
needed for future corn crops. Mr..
Miller's latest presentation of these
principles under the title "Soil Man
agement During Periods of Low
Farm Prices" was one of the fea-
lures of Iowa Farmers Week at
Ames this month. Mr.. Miller's de-
partment at the Missouri College of
Agriculture is urging farmers to re-
turn to the fundamental ~soil-building
rotations and practices that look to
the future and permanent productiv-
ity of the soil. And, of course, this
REIMBURSEMENT can be accomplished
with the least possible omediate cost
during a period of low grain prices.

PROHIBITION FIGHT
 NOW 0N IN SWEDEN
Statistics Play Big Part in Cam
 pai8n to Make Country Dry

Stockholm, Sept. 2.-Sweden's pro- hibition campaign, now at its height, has become largely a battle of statis- tics. While the dry forces point with pride to the fact that they won a victory in the Ricksdag when that body voted to hold consultative plebiscite of the wet and dry is- sue on August 27 of this year, the -prohibitionists are quoting gov ernment statistics and the reports of medical authorities
 The reports of the government dis trict physicians scattered all over the country are now being received by the Swedish Medical board which re- gently went on record against total prohibition. Virtually all of the phy- sicians report that drunkenness ap- pears to be decreasing in their re- spective districts and that in many parts of the country home brewing is declining.
 The Royal Social boards latest re- port shows that during the first quar- ter of this year inebriety showed a further decline, there being only B. 2S5 cases of drunkenness reported throughout Sweden. The report sets forth also that during 1921 Norway and Finland, both prohibition coun- tries were more wet in spots than Sweden with her liquor rationing sys- tenn. This during 1921 Swedens quarterly reports showed between r. GOO and 5000 cases of drunkenness an average of nearly 5000 cases of ip- ebriety offenses during each quarter.

LOCAL MAN WRITES
 BIG G. M. C0HAN HIT
"So This Is London" Written by Arthur Goodrich, Of New Britain

Arthur Goodrich, New Britain man who has achieved fame in the writing Of several plays. etc., in the past, has written another George M. Conan comedy, 50 This Is London" which Is making a big hit at the Hud- son theater in New York. Yes Or No' was another one of MT. Good rich's successful novels written re- gently. MT, Goodrich is a son of Mrs. Fred Goodrich, and a brother to Mrs. Howard Horton, of Bassett street.
 In speaking of Mir Goodrlch's lat est play, the Journal of, Commerce says, in part:
 George M. Conan Is waving flags again. This time it Is not one flag but two, and strangely enough Johnny Bulls is wig wassed quite as much as Uncle Sam's. And as is usual in most things that our own loyal George M. undertakes, 1t is all in fun, for comedy is the keynote of "So This Is London"-that Is, when broad satire and biting subleties are not being em- ployed to heal the prejudices that are popularly supposed to exist between the representatives of these nations
 Arthur Goodrich has cleverly em- ployed this theme as his text, in Pro- ducer Cohan's initial offering of the season, and has evolved a hilariously comical entertainment, punctuated with repartee and laughter in liberal quantities There can be no doubt as to the success of "So This Is Lon- don,' which the author classified as an English American comedy and which hits hard at the social foibles and the common misunderstanding on the part of each nationality re- garding the other.
 "Often the slap is more direct than delicate, but nevertheless effective in the breezy Cohan way, for the per- formance every now and then reveals the incisive punch and celerity of &C., tion for which the Yankee Doodle Boy is famed. Both he and Mir. Goodrich and also John Meehan, who staged the piece, are to be heartily congratulated for the glad fruition of their joint endeavors.
 And too, the excellent company should be included in the felicitations, for without exception they were wholly adequate, while Donald Gal lagher, as the juvenile American hero, son of a United States captain of in dustry Marie Carroll, as his English fiancee. for time victim of the mu- tual prejudice held by the relatives of both; Lily Carroll, who played with poise and distinction the role of the social Samaritan; Edmund Breeze who was excellent in the American father; Lawrence D'Orsay who was good as the English father, Sir Percy Beecham, all scoring effectively, and Leah Winslow, Edward Jephson, Marion Grey, Wallace Widdecombe, Robert Vivvan and John NJ. Trough ton making good in minor but inn portant characterizations.
