TEGUMES, such as soybeans and cOwpeaS,
- are generally considered to be soil build
ers. 1t is true that these crops can get nitrogen
from the airbut theydrawheaVilyOn the soil for
phosphorus and potash, particularly potash.
For instance, each ton of sOybean hay re-
moves from the soil about AZ pounds of actual
potash, equal to "a pounds of muriate of
potash, or 47O pounds of fertilizer containing
10%S potash.
Each ton of COwpea hay removes from the
soil about SO pounds of actual potash, equal to
l66 pounds of muriate of potash, or $50 pounds
OF fertilizer containing 1O% potash.
This expIainswhy the plants often show signs
OF potash hunger. When sOybeans are starved
for potash they often suffer from an early,
false ripenine period, commonly called chlOrO-
sis. At about blossom time the edges of the
leaves turn yellow and then the yelIOwine ad-
vances toward the veins.
ChlorOsis is usually a sign of a low yield of
hay, poor quality seed and less organic matter
for the soil. Avoid this by liberal application of
high-pOtash fertilizer such as 2-8-10. 1t is very
important that this be applied about two
weeks prior to seeding.
2-S-1O is properly balanced to produce vieor-
GUS, healthy plants. Liberal use of 2-S-1O
results in bigger yields of better hay and
sound, plump seed at maturity. 2-S-1O fur
nishes plenty of phosphorus and potash, thus
preventing leeume crops from rObbine your

Auto Deficiency Pro Udes Huge Backlog for Motor Industry
BY HENRY J. KUEHLS

lines special writer
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The sales
OF automobiles for this year have
been most encouraging and will
more than likely register the largest
year since 1929. 1t is estimated that
production will reach 100000 cars
for 1885, and with a continuation of
the present rate 1896 will see AGO.
600 cars produced. There exists
since 1880 large deficiency in au-
tomobile production, and to the end
Of 1886 it will have reached a peak
of 10.853 900 cars.
This deficiency will be made up in
the immediate future years, as this
deficiency estimate is based on
seven years as the average life of
car. Automobiles built in 1928 and
1929 are now in the scrappage stage.
1t is now possible that production
over the future years will exceed
100000 cars per year, and if only
100000 cars are absorbed yearly
out of the l0,S53, 000-car deficiency
it will require seven years to take up
this slack.
This tremendous backlog of re-
placement is now beginning to reg
lister III new-car sales and will show
a larger increase in 1896 than over
the present year. 1t is interesting
to note that production from 1923 10
1929 averaged in excess of 100000
a year, and that 1896 will see that
level reached again. During that
Seven-year period no large def
cheney existed, therefore the period
ahead reflects a rather optimistic
outlook for this industry.
Many sections of the country have

ELECTRIC USE,
REVENUES RISE
over YEAR AGO
Increased Industrial Activity
Reflected in Wholesale
Sales.

BIZ Times Special
NEW YORK. Oct. 2I-Although
the amount of electric energy used
has for some time been greater than
in corresponding periods of any
previous year. revenue has at last
broken through pre-depression
levels. the Electrical World de-
clared today.
August revenue Of S156,O38,300 ex-
ceeded that of the comparable
month in 1884 by 81 per cent and
slightly surpassed the previous Au-
gust record, IN 1881, of S155 .053 100.
The quantity of energy sold to all
classes of consumers. however. was
10 per cent larger than in the
month four years ago. which indi-
Gates the effect of progressive reduc-
tons in price. This energy amounted
to 6,6l4. 259 900 kilowatt hours, or
10.5 per cent more than at this
time last year.
Greatly increased industrial &C
tivity is reflected in the 1I9 per
cent advance over 1884 in sales OF
energy to wholesale customers.
Comparing like months, sales in this
class we're exceeded only in 1929.
Energy sold to domestic consumers
increased 121 per cent over 1884
and is now at the highest point at
tanned in the summer of any year.
Due largely to the greatly in
creased use of electric refrigerators.
the consumption for home use was
SO per cent greater than in August.
1929. During this Swear period the
average domestic rate has declined
20 per cent, from 643 to Sis cents
per XIV. hr.
Supplementing these detailed
figures for the month of August,
further evidence of advancing activ-
ity in factories and mines, as we'll as
in home use of current, is seen in
the weekly figures also announced
by Edison Electric Institute which
show that total energy production
in the week ended Oct 5 surpassed
that of any similar period of any
year, and that production in the
following week was even larger.

AUTO TREND MOVES
TO HIGHER BRACKETS
Buyers Indicate Desire for More
Luxurious Cars.

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Indica-
tions are that many automobile
buyers who were forced into the
lowest price range in recent depres-
sion years will be inclined to pay
more in return for somewhat larger
more luxurious products than can
be offered in the $500 Or $500 retail
bracket, the Standard Statistics Co.
said today.
This year is the first since 1881 in
which the proportion of automobile
sales accounted for by Ford, Chew
rolet and Plymouth decreased. The
shift of consumer preference is
slightly up the scale to the group
in which Dodge, Pontiac and Odds
mobile are the fastest sellers.
The New York automobile show
opens Nov. 2 and all leading pas
senger car markers are stepping up
production so that dealers may be
adequately sampled. The trade as
whole probably will be in volume
production again by the end of this
month which will doubtless show
three times the September output Of
cars and trucks.
