FLURSPAR INVESTIGATIONS
IN KENTUCKY AND ILLINOIS

A. B. Ladoo, mineral technolo-
gist Of the U. S. Bureau of Mines,
recently spent a month in the south
ern Illinois and western Kentucky
fluor spar field in order to complete
the investigation Of the fluorspar in
dustry. The outstanding feature Of
the fluorspar situation is that our
known reserves are very low, says
the bureau, and, unless new deposits
are found, fluorspar will be very
scarce and expensive within few
years. The development of possible
substitutes is being considered. The
object of the fluorspar investigation
is the eventual preparation Of bull
letin on all phases of the situation.

Farm Bureau Notes
Cover Crops

Everyone who farms should be in
tereSted IN cover crops and interested
right now. Scientists have figured
out how much plant food is lost each
year when field is left bare and
left so that 1t washes. Sufficient TO
say that immense quantities Of val
usble plant food are lost in the
sioping bare fields Of Crittenden coun-
ty letting alone the gullies that are
formed which require more labor to
get the ground In shape in the next
spring. Rye Is an excellent cover
IRON and II Is used in practically all
cases except where wheat is grown
as regular farm crop. Farmers in
Galloway county for example who
never before had used cover crops
seeded 1000 acres Of rye last year
and they plan to increase this year.
Every bare field should be seeded
in the fall to some crop that will pro-
tecst the soil from erosion and leach
log during hte winter. The more
sloping the land and the looser the
ael the greater will be the need for
protection Of this kind.
