to lack of sufficient appropriations were
more hopeful last week due to the
fact that the Army appropriation bill
which Just passed the House contained
a considerable increase in the funds
for holding the 15-day active duty
training. Provision was made in the
budget estimates for $2,009.356 which
would have provided training for 1928
Reserve officers for a 14-day period. In
It's report to the House. the appropria-
tiOns cbmmittee increased this amount
to S2,125. 800. which, 1t was claimed
would train 10000 Reserve officers for
IS days. At the final consideration by
the House of the amendment providing
for l5-day trainees the amount for
this purpose was increased by s531 900.
making a total of S2.657 900. which 1t
was estimated would provide for the
training of 10000 Reservi3ts.
No increase was made in the item
covering mileage. and as the bill now
reads, pay is provided for 20,O00 Re.

for only 10000 Rcservists Some ad-
instment. no doubt. will be made In
this matter before the rill comes up
for a final vote. as it would be an
impossibility to pay these additional
4 600 Reserve officers. for without the
mileage provisions they would be unable
to get to camp to undergo the training.

Storing Water
With Straw

Ever since and ages before Moses
smote the rock with his staff to
make water pour forth, herdsmen
and cultivators of the soil have been
up against the problem of getting
enough good water, says the editor
of Better Crops. Dams have done the
job in some places and pools in other
regions. Now comes the news that
western herdsmen in the desert
ranges use straw to store up a sup
ply of water. These men put a heavy
layer of straw over snowdrifts to de-
lay melting. The result is that the
slow melting snow dribbles away
over the range at time when rain
fall has slackened and livens up the
grasses as it sinks into the thirsty
soil.

Perhaps the dirtiest job ever un-

dirt or soil of the whole United
States that is planned by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and agricultural agencies of the

Farm News Exchange. We have a
rather accurate knowledge of the
mineral resources of the country
through government surveys and
now it appears that we will have as
complete information about the soils
of our farms. More than half of the
agricultural area of the country has
already been covered to establish
facts about the quality of farm
lands. The results of this work will
be available to every farmer in the
country, who will be able to tell
what crops are most suitable for
his land.

Proper Fertilizers Make
CherOOts Burn Straight

When former Vice President Mar.
shall said "what this country needs
most is a good five-cent cigar" he
didn't realize that the application of
science to soils would go long way
toward filling the smokers need that
he discovered. If your cigar doesn't
burn straight don't blame the cigar
worker, George J. Callister, widely
known agronOmist, says. The grow
er, who refuses to use the fertilizer
mixtures that have been proved the
best for tobacco plants, is the cul-
prit. Improperly fertilized soils
will make cigars burn irregularly,
or make them burn too slowly or
become too hot.
Extensive investigations show that
the right proportions of fertilizer
mixtures must be used to produce
the most saleable leaves. Nitrogen
in these mixtures, for instance, has
a favorable influence on the burning
quality of tobacco, while heavy ap-
plications Of PHOSPHORUS have the
opposite effect. Potash is perhaps
the most important part Of fertilizer
mixtures, for, where this element is
lacking, the average value Of tobacco
is low, &. B. Moss Of the North Caro-
lima Tobacco Experiment station
points out.

As The Farmer Pays
The City Man Saves

While the farmer in soviet Russia
is able to dodge taxes, the American
farmer is paying heavy share of
local or state taxes, the Agricultural
and Scientific Bureau points out.
"In relation to what he earns" the
bureau points out, the American far
mers pays at a higher rate than the
city dweller. High taxes are bad
enough, but when in some cases
they eat up practically all farm ear
nings in poor crop seasons, they
cripple the farmer the following
year.
"In Virginia alone the tax on
rented farms was twenty per cent,
but sixteen per cent on rented city
houses. Many farmers are asking
themselves what additional benefits
they receive and they usually find
they get less from the state than
