Lead Is Found SO Deep
That Man Cannot Mine 1t

Durham, England.--Lead deposits
go deeper than man can mine them,
according to findings recently pub
lshed by DR.. Arthur Holmes, noted
British geologist, in Economic Cecil
ogy.
Formerly it was believed that
lead veins were closely related to
the rocks containing them, but Dr.
Holmes finds the lead in many
rocks differs from lead in veins and
is actually different kind of lead,
having a different atomic weight.
Basing his conclusions on the
studies of radioactivity which he
has been making for many years,
DR.. Holmes has learned that rock
lead (not in veins) contains the
products of radioactive disintegra-
ton, while vein-lead, the material
mined and sold, does not contain
radioactive end-products. 1t there.
fore appears, according to~Holmes
that, yein-Iead does not have It's
source in the rocks surrounding thf
veins, but in some deeper zone.

Much Forest Land l.
Now in Farm Ownership

Syracuse, N. Y.-More and more,
the remaining and new-growing
timber lands in the United States
are becoming identified with indi-
vidual farms, it was pointed out at
the meeting of the Society of Amer
lean Foresters here by Parker An
derson, Minnesota extension forester.
Census reports Indicate that
woodland acreages on farms have
increased during tie past decade, =
he said To-day one-third of all
forest land in the United States is
in farm ownership. Such forest
areas are no doubt on better soils
than most of our public forests, as
farms usually were established ir
areas where soils are more pro.
ductive for food crops. These wood.
/ land areas, therefore, should be
able to yield higher forest prod.
uct return than most public lane
not so fortunately situated. =
Mr.. Anderson emphasized the il
effects of forestry's twin evils II
past and present practice, private
exploitation without thought for tht
future, and public tax policies tina
result in reversion to the state o
tax-delinquent land and discourage
reconstruction Of forests.

Rubber-Coated Seeds
Carry Own Nitrogen

Washington.-A new kind OF agri-
culture in which each seed, bulb or
tuber, before being planted, is pro-
vided with its individual supply of
fertilizer, fungicide to kill its enc
mics. and nitrogen-fxing bacteria is
indicated in a patent granted here
to George E. Heyl Of Mill Hill, Eng
land.
According to Mr. Heyl's invention
each seed would be coated with la
tex--the understanding milk"
of the rubber tree. Before the coat
ing is applied, fertilizer, fungicides
and bacteria which can fix nitrogen
from the air so plants can eat it,
are mixed in the latex solution.
When this solution dries on the
seed il leaves a thin''rubber coating
containing the various ingredients.
Water from the surrounding soil
gradually penetrates through this
coating and carries the nourishment
embedded therein, TO the seed. The
inventor claims that plants which
spring from these specially treated
seeds grow better and yield greater
harvestsv

Dogs Travel ON Ice

Arctic sled dogs pull sleds over all
types of country. There are gravel
and rock stretches swept absolutely
clear of snow, ice caps and yawn-
ing descents. They pull heavy
sleighs through the bush country,
harnessed two by two on MAIN
line, or across windsWept sea ice
in fan shape formation from the
main trace connecting the heavy
sleds. They travel barefoot, or
moccasin shod over bare sea ice to
protect their feet which would other
wise have the skin torn off by the
extreme cold of the ice. They must
even fight sand storms in the ex-
treme north where the fiercest winds
sweep island shores clear of snow
and choke dogs and men with sting
ing sand. The Arctic sled dog has
great endurance. Even though those
dogs may not have been fed for days
they can still travel far distances
over ice and snow.

Dry Years Certain
to Return After
Heavy Rain Periods

Neutrality-suspicious. of drouth
may be ending now, but un-
doubtedly they Will return again
some day. Therefore long-range
plans for land use should al
ways take this possibility of new
distress into consideration, }.
B. Kincer of the United States
weather bureau stated here be-
fore the National Appraisal
forum.
Thus far, all that can be said
about changing climatic trends IS
that there is a certain wavelike char
acter about them, groups of wet
years and groups of dry years tend
ing to bunch. Despite all study
that has been spent on the subject,
true cycles, sharply defined and
plainly practicable, have not yet
been established beyond dispute.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Kincer pointed
out, such study does give an histo-
-ricalL background which Marns-us
that drouths in the future may be
expected. just as severe as those in
the past. For example, records show
there was family of drouth years
in the early 1905, just as bad as
the one the country has just been
going through.
Next Comes Wet Period.
Doubtless. continued Mr.. Kincer,
when the present drouth definitely
comes to an end, there will be a
period of years with comparatively
heavy rainfall, just as before, and
little will be heard about duststorms
and the like. But in planning per-
manent farm program for such an
area, the basic considerations
should include the practical certain.
ty that dry climatic phases, at least
