NEWFARM STATION
WILL ANALyzE DIRT
Alabama Polytechnic Insti.
tute Will Be Scene of
Unique Experiment.
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press
AUBURN, Ala, November ga new
farm station, unique in the United
States, whose job will be to analyze
nearly 100 carloads of dirt, will be built
at Alabama Polytechnic Institute. The
dirt will be soil samples from every
part Of the United States.
It is hoped to uncover secrets Of ag-
riculture which ultimately will improve
the yields Of poor lands by learning
how to farm them better, and to get
greater crops likewise from the rich
soils.
In charge Of the new station will be
Prof. M. L. Nichols Of Alabama Poly
technic Institute and watching him
will be the United States Government,
which wants minute report on what
he finds.
Federal Money viii Be Used.
The station will be built on the
grounds of the institute at Federal ex-
pense, and will be the only one Of its
kind in the United States. Expenses
will be borne by $4,000 obtained from
the Federal public works fund. with
President Roosevelt's approval.
The experiments will include a study
Of the best sort Of implements to be
used on each soil type. For one thing.
Prof. Nichols says wholly new designs
and cultfvating may result.
"There are large areas Of fertile land
which are very difficult to plow and
cultivate because of our present in
adequate knowledge concerning meth
ods," the professor said. "Our rich
black belt soils in Alabama and Mis-
sissippi are examples. As practical
knowledge Is revealed farmers on the
hilly or marginal lands will abandon
these for the productive soils having
more desirable topography.
While production from these soils is
not needed now, 1t is expected that
there will be q demand for them by
the time our experiments have ad-
vanced far enough for practical appli-
cation"
81 Carloads Of Dirt Needed.
The experiments will be conducted in
eight concrete bins measuring "a feet
by $50. Each will be filled with dirt to
depth Of feet, allowing tests Of
the II major soils found in the country.
Ninety-six freight carloads Of dirt will
be required, or IL carloads to each bin.
Other phases Of the experimentation
will be devoted to irrigation and rain
fall and likewise a protection against
too much rain. The objective in this
respect is the finding Of scientific meth
DDS for combating all uncertainties
and hazards in crop production.
Prof. Nichols has been engaged in the
same work on q small scale since 1881.
Omc1al representatives Of Italy, Japan
and Russia have come here from time
to time to observe with view to ap-
plying the revelations to the agriculture
Of their own countries.

COCHRANE DEAL
COMPLETED

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 5
I1N.SD D.-While Manager. Connie
Mack Of the Philadelphia Ath-
letics remained silent, it was
learned today that the deal which
will send Mickey Cochrane.
catcher, to the Detroit Tigers, as
manager, has been completed and
will probably be announced in
Chicago next week, when the
major league Solons gather for
their annual meeting.
Mack was expected to stop off
IN Detroit, en- route to Chicago,
and put the finishing touches on
the deal with President Frank
Navin, Of the Tigers. The only
hitch thus far is said to be Macks
insistence upon being given
Catcher Johnny Hayworth instead
Of John Pasek, whom the Tigers
are offering together with some
cash for Cochrane.
Another deal Mack is expected
to announce in Chicago is the
exchange of Pitcher George
"Rube" Walberg and Second
baseman Max Bishop to the Red
Sox for Pitcher Bob Klein, Short
stop Hal Wartsler and cash.

R.F.C. REPLACES
j, 8. TREASURY

The Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, originally an emer'
gency lending agency, has sup
planted the Treasury Department
and the Federal Reserve system
as the handspring Of Government
fiscal operations.
The reliance placed upon the
R. F. C. by President Roosevelt
was demonstrated anew when he
designated it as the official medi-
um to carry out his destiny
fraught program of boosting price
levels through purchase Of newly
mined gold.
This program, still in its incipi-
ent stage, was placed in effect by
Jesse H. Jones, R. F. C. chair
man, on a scant> two days notice.
Already it has had worldwide
repercussions.
Through the purchase Of pre-,
ferred stock in banks and in
surance companies, the R. F. c.
is coming to exercise a greater
direct control over financial insti'
tutions than does the Federal Re
serve system itself. Along with
the acquisition Of preferred stock
the R. F. C. gains the right to
name it's own directors on bank
and insurance boards
The highly important task OF
liquidating assets of closed banks
and advancing $1,O00,0O0,0OO to
depositorS, is being prosecuted
under Jones direction.
The first moves looking toward
diplomatic recognition of Soviet
Russia were taken by the R. F
C. Negotiations involving hun
dreds of millions in long-term
credits to finance Russian pur
chase of American goods are be
ing conducted mainly under R. F
C. auspices.

VIC. C.T.U.WARNS
WOMEN OFF
STREETS

NEW YORK, Dec. S G.N.S).-
"A solemn warning to women to
keep off the streets tonight, when
legal liquor puts in a return en-
gagement after IA years, was
sounded today by Mrs. Ella Boole,
head of the World w. C. T. u,
most ardent of the women prohi-
bitionists. The twentieth century's
Carrie Nation said:
"They are evidently getting
ready for some trouble. have
made no plans to 60 out. I
think we all want to keep off
the streets tonight.
"The alcoholic control board
Is sincere in its desire to con-
troll drinking, but 1t remains to
be seen If those who would not
obey a Federal law will obey
State law"
Mrs. Boole, you see, never
thought the Eighteenth Amend
ment was a failure. 1t helped a
great DEAL" she said.
VETS Are Not Bothered
Her fears for a dangerously wet
night were dismissed with dignity
by Mrs. Cortlandt Nicoll, first
vice chairman Of the Women's
ORGANIZATION for National Prohibi-
ton Reform, the outfit that out
reformed the reforming w. c.
r. U.
Mrs. Nicoll said:
"This day ought to be taken
seriously. It ought to be OBJ
served as a quiet triumph-and
It will be. 1t is the day Of
the restoration to the American
people Of liberties guaranteed
them under the constitution,
which were taken away"
No Celebration Slated
She said she had no plans for
tonight, and the w. o. N. P. R.
planned no celebration.
The rich are not the ones who
have much to fear from repeal,
according to Mrs. Boole. It's the
poor, who are always-and in
creasingly-with US. She said:
Increased consumption is
bound to follow the campaign
of advertising in newspapers
and over the radio, aided by
the ease with which liquor can
be purchased-if one has the
money. Many persons unfOrtu-
nately can only buy booze or
shoes, and when they buy booze
they don't buy shoes, that's
all"
