Attendance Is Small at Ala bama Sunday School
 Convention

Gadsden. April s.-(special.)-
 While the attendance at the thirty ninth annual convention of the Ala bama Sunday School association now
 in session at the First Methodist church here is the smallest in the history of the association, officials insist that interest in Sunday school
 work has greatly increased, and the small attepdance is due to the highly organized work done by the denomt- national associations.

 proving the recent merger of the In ternational Sunday School assoe1a- tion and the Sunday School Council of Evangelical denominations.
 This action followed remarks by Dr. James E. Thomas of the univer- sity of Alabama. president of the as socation and Genera1 Superintendent E. w. Halfpenny. Dr. Thomas in
 sisted that the task of teaching the children of today the contents of the Bitle Is a pig enough challenge to en- gage the cooperative work of the protestant denominations. and urged delegates to formulate splans by which the interest and support of every de- nomination could be secured for the association.
 It was explained that in the past, the association work has been rather non -denominational in character
 Henceforth it is planned to make IL mathematician in scope. Mir. Halfpenny explained the new plan of organization for state, county and district conventions.
 The convention adopted new stand ards to be used under the merger plan, for state. county and district conventions and individual schools. The executive committee was busy sll morning working out plans for
 reorganization of the association with the view of increasing attend
 ance.

Matching the Soil

Mulching the soil, simply means the application of suitable organic mat ter in such quantities as may seem desirable to accomplish the purpose sought.
 The material may be old grain straw, decaying leaves, pine straw. !t should be free, if possible, of weeds or other seed and not too coarse. The chief functions of mulch is to pre- vent baking of the soil, furnish ad- ditional humus, promote capillary ;tt- traction and conserve moisture.
 Mulehing in the home grounds IS particularly important to get the ex- pected results from trees, flower beds and potted plants A proper mulch need not interfere with regular cul- tivation, and when the mulch has be- come thoroughly incorporated in the soil and another mulching may fol- low. In some cases, mulching should be done in the fall or winter but 1t is permi ssible at any time the plants would seem to need it. Whenever your are thirsty for water, just re- member that your plants may be likewise.

Soil Analysis

We are often asked about the de- sirability of having soils analyized 70 determine deficiencies in certain plant food clements; so as to enable one to better determine just what fertilizer formula would be the most economical to use for maximum pro duction, with any given crop. The writer has made many laboratory analyses of soils. and while it is pos sible of course to be. accurate with any sample as to contents, it is not safe to depend on samples submit ted as being representative of any considerable area.
 There are so many factors that in- fluence soil fertility, that any con clusion would be subject to countless exceptions. Moisture and it's natural control may be bad conditions, and certain areas may be deficient in or ganic matter, while some may possess too strong acid conditions.
 It Ia most difficult matter to take fairly representative samples of a field, even by an expert One Is left, after all, with his own observa- tion as the best guide. Thorough cultivation is the most dependable factor in ultimate results.

Exercise the Soil
 What sort of fertilizer do these foreigners use, most of whom seem to be expert gardeners? A good am swer would be tillage. As a rule, the foreigner knows little about com Inercial fertilizers, and relies largely on manure. although he is gradually becoming acquainted Thorough till- age is the handspring of his success, in other words, he exercises the soil by keeping 1t constantly on the move
 Soil, like humans, becomes sick anu nothing is more essential than fre- quent and thorough cultivation in order to maintain healthy and sani- tary conditions. . Look into the his- tory Of all the prize crops, you read about, and see what cultivation and land preparations contributed to the resulting crop. This doctrine is as old as Moses. and it may be observed that Virgil in his masterpiece, de- scriptive of Roman husbandry, im- mortalized in verse the great impor- tance of thorough preparation and unstinted tilth, as the main and neces ssary factor in soil production.
