clover, to every 80 acres of improved
land or about one and one-half acres
to each farm, an amount which Is
much too small to maintain soil fer
ti!ity, the specialists say. Legumos,
which have been a neglected crop in
the state up to the present time, are of
more value than any other class of
crops when the fertility of the soil
is considered, according to the spe-
cialists.
Red clover is to the principal le-
gume grown at the present time with
soybeans second and cowpeas third.
Japan clover grows wild extensively
in the state and is sometimes seeded.
Alfalfa is grown largely in two coun-
ties while several others have small
areas. Sweet and alsike clover COM
p!cte the legumcs used by farmers in
the state.
The chief advantage Of legumes is
the fact that they replenish the nitro
gen supply Of poor soils, the special
lists say. AS soon as the nitrogen sup
ply has been furnished. the soils re-
spond to treatment with phosphate
fertilizers, thus making possible fol-
the farmers to rebuild them to point
where they produce larger crop yields
The state should have at least 1900,
900 acres Of clover alone for hay an,
soil improvement on cultivated land
according to the specialists. Most O
the pasture land Of the state also
should be seeded with mixture con
tanning a legume. In cases where thu
soil requires lining before legume'
can be made a success the specialist
have recommended that annual lie
gumes be grown. Crops Of this kind
such as cowpeas, need to be followed

The legitimate theatrical season as
applied to English's and the Murat Is
now merely a memory.
A memory that is both pleasing and
disturbing.
Custom again gives me the duty OF

thousand returns have been received at
the studio to date
The iusistent demand from every sec
ton " the country and from foreign
lands is for bigger and better pic
lures. Although there are a variance OF
answers to every question, the dominant
feature Of the worldwide survey, Is the
professed desire on the part Of the pub
lie for the elimination of unwholesome-
ness in photoplays and the sincere hope
fulness expressed in the great future Of
the motion picture industry.
To the queryi What has been the IN
fuence OF the motion picture on home
and community life during the past ten
years ?" the following answers have been
tabulated-Favorable, 400; unfavorable,
122; non-committal, 10T.
The comment which strikes the key
note Of the general consensus Of opinion
is that it has "broadened both, but has
probably broken up home life Of the old
type" Most Of tho editors decreed that
motion pictures ware both educational
and entertaining and provided amuse-
ment at a low cost for thousands who
otherwise would be forced to remain at
home Il was also declared that the
movie theater OF today Keeps young
and old out nights Contrasted to this

RoTARIANS HAVE EASTER
EGG HUNT AT MEETING

At the Wednesday luncheon of the
Rotary Club all members excepting
one reported present. Mortimer Stone
presided and John w. Davis served in
his official capacity as secretary.
Guests for this occasion were Capt.
Lottie Schell of the Salvation Army;
B. L. Laycock and son Donald, the
latter being an honorary guest owing
to his recent participation in the state
spelling contest; Mayor Penley.
The program was in charge of A.
NJ Mathews and A. ]. Obert. Thirty
five Faster eggs were concealed about
the room and each member was to
start a still hunt on a signal, resum-
ing order when the alarm clock rang
five minutes later. Everybody found
an egg which was found to bear
number, and the finder donated cash
in an amount indicated on the egg.
This money was contributed to Capt.
Schell to be used in her Salvation
Army work.
Mayor Penley made short talk re-
garding the matter of Delta's Annual
Cleanup Day and asked to have one
member of the club appointed, who
will be a member of a committee
made up from the various civic organ
| izations, to decide on a cleanup day
and make plans therefor. The chair
then appointed A. D. Fairbanks to
serve as such committeeman.
A motion prevailed that the club
would furnish funds with which to

on Grand Mesa for two weeks during
the summer, and also transport the
