B0NAR LAW READY TO INJECT AMERICAN PEP INTO HIS GOVERNMENT
England Feels Premier Has Gone Too Far Toward
 NormaICy

LONDON, March 30. - Premier Bonar Law realizing that he has car ried tranquility" too far, is deter mined to inject little American pep" into his administration.
 Dissatisfaction with the govern ment, as shown in the recent cleo tions and debates in the House of Commons. has served as warning to the conservatives to form policy that is definite and precise.
 The question of q new governm ent the return of David Lloyd George or an ascent to power by the labor party--does not enter into the situa- ton in it's present status.
 England had become weary of the feverish gymnastics provided by Lloyd George, who had a policy for everything and then some politics to s~re. Frequently he had too many policies for one subject according to a prevalent complaint and England demanded a rest.
 This return to placidity so dear to the Englishman was promised by Bonar Law under the guise of tran guilty"
 But appearances now indicate that the conservative reaction from the Georgian pyrotechnics has gone too  thing akin to lassitude. The govern ment critics are now beginning to use the phrase that was used against the democrats by the republicans in the last election in the United States -"let's be done with wiggle and wob- ble."
 The recent attacks on Bonar Laws prestige to the housing of the people. The government was indef- mite about what it was going to do. If 1t removed the control over rents, the landlords would raise their rates and, failing to collect. would turn out the tenants. The middle class revolt ed and many artisans started an ex- odus to the United States and the dominions.
 Now the advisers of Bonar Law are urging him, for the good of the party, to take some definite steps in the housing and Ruhr crises.
 Thus, a government returned on a platform of tranquility, which is sim liar to the Harding program of 'normalcy," is being forced to steer away from it's system of rest cure to become more definite and less tranquil And the moral of it all seems to be that tranquility and normalcy, desirable as they may be, have slight chance of establishing themselves under the present dis turbed condition of the world.

SOIL, DEPLETED

CHICAGO, March 30.-Fertility of soils in the Mississippi valley is be- ing rapidly exhausted and radical changes in farming methods are needed to maintain the production which has made this section the greatest food producing section of the world. according to members of the agricultural commission of Ala bama, in Chicago today, on an itin- erary embracing many of the Missis- sippi valley states.
 Years of cultivation of one crop on farms has caused land in the valley to begin rapid descent in produc- tivity, they said. To relieve this, rotation of crops must be introduced more generally and fertilizer must be used in much greater quantities.
