Around Clovis. n. NJ, the young

As we moved northward, at
Naravisa, y. NJ, we met our first

feet IN front of the radiator-cap.
The sun disappeared, leaving an
eerie half-lignt.
Oncoming cars were only two
glowing discs which went by in
swirl of dust. More dust sifted
through the closed car windows.
We coughed and choked. Soon
we were forced into a roadside

did not even mention the dust

Feed The Crops
Is Advice Given
By J. ]. Henry
JEROME J. HENRY
(ln Farm Journal)

Yields Of potatoes may be in
creased very markedly by large
doses of plant food. At the North
Carolina Experiment Station a
yield of 90 bushels per acre was
obtained without fertilizer; the
yield was 203 bushels per acre
with 1900 pounds of fertilizer,
and 256 bushels when 1900
pounds of fertilizer per acre were
applied. When potatoes are a
good price that means money.
In Oregon trials, 1000 pounds
of complete fertilizer increased
the spinach yield by four and one
half tons per acre. The yield with
fertilizer was five tons per. acre !;
without fertilizer, only one-half
ton. In fact, the crop on the UNI
fortified plot was not worth har
vesting. High analysis fertilizers,
when applied properly, are safe
and just as effective as normal
analysis plant food. One-half ton
of an S-16-8 fertilizer is equal in
value to one ton of 4-8-4.
In a Wisconsin experiment, with
manure alone, the yield of pota-
toes was 1877 bushels per acre.
With manure and 800 pounds per
acre of normal analysis fertilizer,
the yield was 250,8 bushels. With
manure and 400 pounds of dou-
ble-strength fertilizer, the yield
was 251.2 bushels.
While the cost per ton is higher
on high analysis goods, the trans
pOrtation cost is lower per unit of
plant food and the farmer finds
it much easier to handle 400 ra-
Their than 500 pounds of fertilizer.

The dust had settled the next
day, and we proceeded northward.

Vocational Agriculture Instructor

Last year at our evening class
at Etowah, when we closed our
class in the spring we had organ
lied corn growing contest just
for the evening class students in
the EtOwah community. There
were eight to enter this contest.
The rules That were set up were
that the one raising the greatest
number of bushels of corn on one
acre at the last expense should
be the winner. There were no set
rules rs to how this acre of corn
should be grown, OF how much
fertilizer or manure should be
used.
Each acre that was entered in
This contest was measured by the
agriculture teacher and checked
up on through the summer. And
then in the fall when the corn
was harvested and Shucked it
was weighed by the agriculture
teacher.
Following arc four of the best
acres that were grown, amount
and cost per bushel:

q cost Of SAT cents per bushel.
W. J. Nicholson, 53 bu. ~ lbs,

a cost of 26.3 cents per 5uShel.
J. w. Bradley, 81 bu. 8 lbs, at

The opening lead was the Ace

Ace of spades won the second
trick. The fall of Norths @
caused declarer to lead dummy's
K Of clubs, picking up North's lone
10, although declarer was not at
all certain at the moment that
North held no more trumps. Final
ly East decided that South held the
balance of missing clubs, and led
dummys last spade. North dis
carded and declarer's K took the
trick. One Of dummy's two re-
naming trumps was used to ruff a
return lead of spades. Declarer
ruffed a heart. When South's @
fell, declarer knew that next time
he must ruff a diamond, instead Of
heart, to avoid an overruff by
South.
Dummy's last trump was used
to ruff the doubler's last spade.
The Ace of diamonds won the
eighth trick. Declarer ruffed a
low diamond. He held the two top
trumps and two good spades. Both
South's clubs were picked up, then
East ran off his two long spades
for fulfilled grand slam, doubled
and vulnerable.
That deal scored East and West
2,480 points. AS South had started
doubling at 5-Clubs, West never
would have bid 6-Clubs. He only
ventured to bid rather than allow
North to play 6-Hearts. Rather
than allow so large score ito OPP
ponents, it would have well paid
North to bid 7-Hearts, be doubled
and lose 500 points.

Roerich Museum, the Brooklyn Mu-
scum. the Corcoran Gallery Of Art
and the National Academy of Design.
His little pictures, now on view at
Howard University, call to mind works
by those of an earlier generation.
They are sketchily rendered but
comprehensive; they are toneful and
rather fervent in the matter Of senti-
ment. There is nothing modernistic
or even modern about them. The
painter might well have stepped out
of the S0s stepped in tradition. And
yet he comes forth under the aegis,
and with the blessing, of the w. P. A.!
This is little confusing, but goes to
show the futility of building boundary
walls in the field of art, for sooner or
later they will be broken down or
leaped over. And this is well.
The impression that these little
pictures by Louis Bosa give the ob-
server is of studies made on impulse
and retained as impressions. nota-
tons, for future use. Both portrait
and landscape painters have been In
the habit of so recording persons and
things seen. For such purposes they
are very valuable. But Bosa seems
to have made them an end in them
selves, which inference takes away
a little from their significance. In
short, in some instances they seem
to fall between being carried too far

resting place of sundry little angels
in wood or bronze. But that is all.
All except Mack, the friendly, in
quisitive little Scotch terrier, whose
black body skids and scampers across
the polished surface of the floor.
"He is the most important person
in my life" Lednicka assures me quite
seriously, looking at Mack.
It seems incredible that the slight,
youthful figure in the chair opposite
me can have been responsible for these
impressive works that surround us
works that have moved the art world
to wonder and rare praise-that is,
until one regards her hands. Rapid
in gesture, expressive, fluid, rhythmic
hands; completely without affectation,
unself-conscious in their charm and
strength; the fingers slender but strong
and capable and assured. Fine, beau
tiful hands they are, explaining the
"St. Francis" the Young Girl"
In stature and form Lednicka Is
slight as girl; small, dark head; wide,
dark eyes; quick, friendly smile. No
makeup, unless I mistake the slight
color in her lips; a simple upturned
swirl of small curls framing her vi
brant face with unstudied chic; a
simply-made, finely-cut tailored suit
in black, soft, white silk blouse; q
jewel at her throat and another on
her left hand. That, to the eye, is
Maryla Lednicka. But the warm.
compelling charm of her Is something
very dtmcult to capture IN words.
