 Because of Secretary Works dis approval of any salary increase in the service, the committee explained, the measure carried no funds for that purpose.
 Asserting that attendance in na- tional parks had increased SS per cent in the last three years. the com mittee recommended an increase in the authority to incur obligations to the amount of $2.500,000 instead of s1,5oo,000, as proposed by the budg- ct. for road construction.
 Park Road Work
 ''If the recommendation should be approved" the report said 'it would stand as an approval by congress of an expenditure of not less than s2,- 500,000 per year for road construc- ton in the parks"
 Other recommendation of the committee included an appropria- ton of $40o,Oo0 for the Payette di- vision of the Boise project in Idaho to obtain water for land heretofore homesteaded, and $4O0.000 for canal construction to utilize surplus waters In American Falls reservoir, ip Idaho.
 It also cut sSOO,o0O from budget figures for this reservoir on the ground that the prospect of the use of more than one unit Of the pro- posed power plant is sufficiently re- mote to make 1t undesirable to ex- pend more than s7oo0Oo 1t provid- cd for construction of the plant at this time.

De- velopment of few weak spots here and there failed to check the up- ward movement in other quarters.

About score other issues also broke through to new high level.., the list including General Motors, per cent preferred, American Railways EX- press, Eureka Vacuum Cleaner, South Porto Rican Slgar and Ma tional Supply.
 The demand for the rails centered largely in the eastern and south western carriers. With the eXcep- ton of Atchison, the western rail- ways showed little change. The prospect of special dividend devel- opments on some of the eastern coalers within the next three months was a factor in the accumulation Of these iSSueS

Tests have shown that while 100
pounds of sand can hold only 25
pounds of water, and 10 pounds of
clay so pounds of water, the same
weight of humus or decaying or
ganic matter can retain 100 pounds
of water. The addition of humr to
sandy soils or others deficient in or
ganic material is, therefore, an
elective means of increasing their
moisture-holding capacity.
