COVER CROPS

Bacterial decomposition of green

is absorbed by the soil and, through the
action OF bacteria, is first changed to
nitric and then to nitrate. The great

green manure, other conditions being
equal, the more nitrate will be formed
from its decomposition. When crops
low in nitrogen, such as mature rye,
are turned under very little benefit will
result for the following crop, since the
amount of nitrogen bound up by the
bacteria in decomposition may be great
er than that obtained from the rye.
Eventually this nitrogen is changed to
nitrate, perhaps too late for the crop.
Decomposition of green manure is
greatly Influenced by the temperature
and moisture of the soil Most soil
bacteria require a temperature of IS de-

higher. for rapid activity. Under favor

is usually decomposed in about seven
days.

that growing a cover crop and blowing

AIR RIGHTS FOR BUILDING
BECOME IMPORTANT

Air rights for building purposes are
coming into a prominent place in real
estate practice in the larger cities 1t
was indicated in a round table discus
sion on air right leases held during
session Of the brokers' division at the
annual meeting of the National Asso-
citation Of Real Estate Boards in Phoenix,
AriZ.
Mark Levy, Chicago. chairman of the
division, pointed to the fact that in
financing the building of the Mer-
chandising Mart in Chicago. which will
be the largest opeating building in the
country, not only had the loan been
originally a bank loan, but it had later
been taken over by an insurance COM
pany.

blooms the first season from seed,
making the selection quite feasible

ASPARAGUS

OF the few vegetables that live over
several years, the asparagus has out
standing merit, combining high quality.
great hardness and comparative free
dom from pests. Once established, the
asparagus plant endures for many
years, the thick, fleShy roots being
perennial. The stalks are, on the
other hand. annual, appearing in early
Spring and succumbing to the first
heavy Autumn frosts. The edible por-
ton is the young tender stalk shortly
after its appearance above the ground
Upon branching, or ever sooner, the
shoots become tough and woody. These
changes also go on after cutting, espe-
clally II the stalks are held at warm
temperatures, and, with loss of sugars,
account for the rapid loss In desir-
ability as food. On account of rapid
loss of quality after cutting and also
because culture is relatively simple, the
asparagus is a very desirable addition
to the home garden. Culture consists
in keeping out weeds and grass and In
annual heavy fertilization. Poultry
manure, supplemented with super
phosphate, makes an excellent ferti-
lzer. One pound per 40 square feet
of mixed fertilizer containing 4 to s
per cent Of nitrogen also will give good
results. No merit lies in the excess
sively deep planting of roots, cover
ing of to 8 inches of soil being much
better than the 18 to "a inches once
recommended. One-year plants are
generally best because of greater adap-
liability to transplanting. No shoots
should be cut the first two years, since
the plants need all their shoots to
make strong roots.
A curious fact about asparagus is
that, the male and female flowers are
borne on different plants. The proper

EV United Prcss
NOME, Alaska, Feb. 21.-Accom-
panied by an escort of American and
Soviet rescue planes, the bodies of
Carl Ben Eielson, Arctic flier, and
his mechanic, Earl Borland, were
en- route TO Fairbanks today in
planes piloted by Joe Crosson and
Harold Gillian.
At Fairbanks the remains Of the
airmen will be given into the keep
ing of Eielsons father and mother,
and Mrs. Borland and her two small
children.
Eielson and Borland are believed
to have been killed about nine weeks
ago when their plane crashed in a
heavy fog. They were flying to the
trading vessel Nanuk on a rescue
mission.
Soviet fliers at the scene Of the
wreck for some weeks, aiding in the
search for the lost fliers prior to the
finding Of their wrecked plane by
CrosSon and subsequent finding Of
the bodies, are commended highly in
dispatches for their work. The stats
department granted them permits
sion to accompany the bodies to
Fairbanks as a guard Of honor.

pened to change the view that
Japan will compromise her demands
for 70 per cent tonnage rather than
wreck the conference.
Thursday it was indicated that
Italy is in a reasonable frame OF
mind. She is willing TO scrap vir-
tually her entire navy If France will
do the same. If France is not, she
reserves the right simply to build
a navy comparable to Frances.
Even then, Italy has no intention
of actually building such navy
unless it is believed that national
security necesSitates it. Thus France
remains the key to the conference
and everything now seems to depend
upon whether she is prepared TO
accept the offer which 1t is believed
America is prepared to make.

If France is willing to accept this
extension of the Kellogg pact, which
in effect means extension OF the

GOOD GAINS MADE
ON BOND MARKET
of German Inter-
national Loan, However,
Feature of the Dealings.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The upward
movement of listed bonds continued
today on the New York Stock Exchange.
The market was quiet but firm and good
gains were recorded as the demand for
investment issues showed no signs Of
diminishing.
The feature Of the trading was the
weakness of the German international
512 per cent bond, which broke nearly
points following dissolution of the
offering syndicate. Maintained by the
price, since it made its appearance
three weeks ago. The bond was sold
down to 881s and then rose fractionally.
When offered the loan sold at a
premium as high as IA points, but
during the past two weeks rarely has
advanced more than IA above the
issuing price. The American portion
of the 100000 German loan, the
first under the Young plan, amounted
to $98,500,000.
Some of the gains made by railroad
and utility issues this week raised them
TO within close proximity of the best
levels OF the year. Offerings of prime
issues continue small and the demand
good, apparently in anticipation of easy
credit conditions throughout the Sum-
mer.
New York Central 31as rose more
than 2 points. Albany and Susque-
hanna 3l2s sold at a new high for the
year. Canadian Northern Is, Illinois
Central As, Louisville and Arkansas SIS,
Central Pacific As, Missouri Pacific SIS,
effected the best Improvement Prime
rails held firm on the sales
The downward trend of the German
bond was contrary to the dominant
movement of the foreign group which
has steadily improved this week. Cana
dian Dominion 415s touched a new
years high, advancing nearly a point.
Greek IS were active and firm. Argen-
tine IS were the firmest of the South
American governments.
Few sales of United States Govern
ments appeared in the early dealings,
with prices little changed
Bond offering for the four-day week
which closed today totaled $93,sl1 900

and $40, 79l 900 year ago. An issue of
