it is only in rare cases that a soil
analysis will show the fertilizing

vised method by which can he
determined the amount of available

OF little value because it merely shows
the total amount of plant food pres

ROAD BONDS SOLD
. TO NEW YORK FIRM

After carefully figuring and
considering all bids offered yes
terday for the coming issue Of
$150,000 Marion county market
road bonds, the bid OF the Ma
tional City Co. of Portland was
accepted by the county court.
When Is representatives Of
bond houses were presenting
their views as to whether the pre-
MUM of $8934 offered by the
National City Co. was the best
and highest bid, or whether the
proposition suggested by which
the court should reject all bids
and advertise its bonds at 4B
per cent, the court decided tc
consider the matter one week.
Later, when it was considered
that the offer of the Portland
company was figured on a basis
of 4,6S per cent for the bonds
and with no assurance that bonds
even If advertised to draw Az
per cent would net the county
larger returns, the county cour'
decided that the bona fide offer
of par for the bonds, plus the
$8934 premium was more salts
factory than taking a chance am
the expense Of advertising an

BUSINESS Of !.
! NATION GOOD
DURING 1922
Annual Report of Depart
inent Of Commerce Says
Conditions Sound And
Prospects Bright.

Washington, Dec. 20. - Stock
taking of the nations domestic
business for the past year gives "a
feeling of satisfaction" as to the
progress made, the department of
commerce declared today in an
end-of-the-year statement and,
from this days position, it added
there are no serious obstacles in
sight which should hinder further
advances" in the early new year.
Manufacturing Gains.
Optimism, born of the accom-
plishments of the past months
which many officials Of the gov
ernment regard as remarkable
strengthening of the economic
fabric, is evident throughout the
statistics and details of the state
ment, which noted that the pro-
duction of manufactured commodi-
ties averaged so per cent larger
than In 1921. The farmer received
approximately II per cent more
for his products than in 1921 and
the total volume of agricultural
products was worth a much great
er sum than was that of a year
ago.
The unsettled conditions in
foreign countries, particularly in
Europe, however" the statement
continued, "are depressing our
trade and to some extent have no
doubt, kept the prices Of agricul-
tural products below the level OF
other commodities. But within
the past two months, this latter
condition has been relieved to
some extent"
Exports Slump.
The review said that American
exports had dropped 16 per cent
as compared with last year, but
