terests any closer together, they
contend.
These, experts are now waiting
for the merger plan being worked
out by Charles Hansel. consulting
engineer, for the public utilities
committee of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations.
They hope that Hansels plan will
solve the situation by offering ad-
vantages to both sides of the mer-
ger question. They do not really
expect this to come about. how
ever, as they are dubious of any
plan ever being devised to which
the companies and the public will
both voluntarily subscribe.
AS matters now stand the public
will never accept Wilson's plan
unless he changes it materially and
the companies will never accept
Bachman's plan unless it is forced
on them by Congress.
The public will object to guaran-
teeing the companies S3,600.00O a
year as proposed by the Wilson
plan and the companies will object
to merging without a guarantee of
either income or valuation, as pro.
posed in the Bachman project.

ARGUMENTS ARE
SUMMARIZED

Assistant Engineer Commissioner
w. e. r. Covell. who was assigned
by the District Commissioners 10
study the question Of relocating the
Farmers Produce Market. probably
will submit his report tomorrow.
The report. however. viii merely
summarize the arguments which
have been presented in favor of the
various sites and will contain no
recommendation for the selection OF
a particular site.
On the basis of this report the
Commissioners will make their
selection and then probably direct
Major Covell to draft their report
to Congress This report must be
made by December Is. In accordance
with directions by the last session
OF Congress authorizing the ex-
penditure of 100000 for a market
site.
Major CoveIl has read the
Voluminous documents which have
been presented to the Commits
siopers by the advocates Of the
various sites. His report will con-
dense these various arguments into
about thirty pages Of typewriter
matter.
The report also will discuss the
basic question of the need for a
farmers market here and The
advigability of the District provid-
ing for it up to $600,000 This
was one Of the first questions
Major Covell studied when he was
given the farmers market assign
ment. At that time he was in.
clined to question the business
sagacity involved in such an
expenditure.
AS a result, he made a study to
determine whether the benefits
accrue to District taxpayers or to
the farmers from neighboring states
who chiefly use the market.

On Advisory Council

The District Commissioners prob

LIME FOR ALFALFA
A YEAR IN ADVANCE

The best time to lime in prepare
tion for alfalfa seeding is a year in
advance, according to bulletin on
Lining for Alfalfa" by F. j. Away
and C. o. Rost of the soils division,
Minnesota Agricultural Experiment
station. In fact, lime may be applied
two or three years in advance of seed
ing without any loss in beneficial eff
fects.
If, however, one wishes to seed a
piece of alfalfa in less than a year,
he can get good effects by applying
his lime several weeks in advance.
The effectiveness, says the bulletin
which is for free distribution on APP
plication to the division of publica-
tons, University Farm, st. Paul-is
much increased by thorough mixing
with the soil. Usually lime or ground
limestone is best applied after plow-
ing. Then the disking and narrowing
in preparation of the seeded provides
the necessary mixing.
The farmer who decides a year in
advance to seed an area to alfalfa,
where lime is needed, may very well
spread his limestone and then put the
field into corn. The limestone will
not damage the most sensitive young
plants.
Fall lining has many advantages.

GOLF PSYCHOLOGY

Mental handicaps in golf are dis
cussed by British doctor in a recent
publication which takes the point of
view that most golfing faults are
mental. Some fearsome sounding
mental Affections of golfers are list
ed, such as putterphobia, bunkeritis,
prodromata, diatheses, automatism
and stigmata of degeneration. The
book is not available to American
readers, but we presume it includes
an accurate diagnosis of the club
thrower, who is familiar to all golf
ers, who, when he fails to make a
hole in par, hurls his club as far as
he can, as the same time Illuminating
the atmosphere around him with
choice epithets.
Another case for a golf doctor is
the habit of shooting into the next
oursome. Then there is the player
who is always criticizing the stance
or swing of his companions while
failing to show any cause in his score
for qualifying as teacher. Players
who habitually score under eighty
are by no means exempt from some
of these diseases. Whether the all
ments interfere with the players own
game can be removed by mental
treatment, it is claimed. Each coun-
try club may in future carry psy-
choanalyst on its pay roll. Of course.
there are many non-golfers, oppon-
ents of daylight saving, and others
who maintain that those who play
golf at all should see an alienist any,
way.
