TOO MUCH. lime
FOUND HARMFUL
AS NOT ENOUGH
County Agent, r. T. Grant Has
Held A Series Of Soil Tests
In This Matter

AS the planting season approaches
farmers feel the need more and more
for soil tests on the various types of
land suitable for grass crops. 1t has
been found that too much lime is as
harmful as not enough and that GER
tain fields will require more or less
fertilization than an adjoining field
on the same farm.
With this situation to meet, Coun-
ty Agent R. T. Grant has held series
of soil testing meetings for the past
six or eight years. This year more
complete test will be made. The sam
pies should be brought to the Coun-
ty Agents office any time between

COOKING TIPS

If by accident you happen to make soup or stew
too salty, drop into it some potatoes and boil
for 10 or IS minutes The potatoes will absorb some
will depend upon how salty the soup stew is. The
potatoes will not absorb any liquid but only extract
the salt. The potato be used, if desired, wi tn
the stew or kept for frying.
Perhaps you have beaten white of eggs and
seen then granu1ate cwdle. It is called granu-
latig, although it has the appearance of curdling,
the egg looks wet and will not beat the smooth
ness it should have when it has not rgranu1atedn.
IF you find the egg WIN tie doing this when beaten
all you have to do add teaspoonful powder
ed sugar for ach egg white, and beat until smooth
and dry.
To cook dried beans and eliminate distress after
eating use about teaspoonful Of baking soda in the
water they boiled in and the gas that causes the
distress will be eliminated.
When grease snaps and sputt in the frying pan,
just put about III teaspoon Of flour in a little
sitter End sift into hot grease and instantly the
suffering will cease.

Hardening in Interest

NEW YORK, May l3-Paul M.
Atkins OF Grant IL Atkins, Inc, who
was special liquidator of securities
for the controller of the CURRENCY
from 1932-37, warns bankers in the
current number of the Bankers
Magazine that ''it seems impossible
Tor interest rates to go much lower"
ut seems inevitable" writes DR..
Atkins, that it is only a question
OF time before we shall see harden
ing Of interest rates which need be
only slight to cause substantial
decline in market values. This does
not mean that the credit position of
the highest grade securities will be
unfavorably affected. On the con-
trary they may be definitely i'm
proved by the very Developments
which lead to stiffening of interest
rates.
IN short a narrow margin of net
free capital will seriously limit
bank in the selection of securities
for a portfolio. while an ample
margin will make it possible for a
bank to exercise much greater free
dom in such matters. The ratio of
net Tree capital to the total funds
available for earning assets is there
lore factor Of fundamental signif-
canoe in the establishment of
SOUND investment policy and in de-
Veioplng a program for putting such

Variety Chain Stores
Expected 10 Regain
Most Of Volume
New Sales Peak Likely
In 1889; Earnings
To Increase
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, May 13-Variety
chain store companies are expected
to regain during 1899 most of the
volume lost during the 1878 de-
preston, according to Poor's Stock
Reports.
ut is more than likely. that new
sales peak will be seen this year.
Moreover, net income will record a
fairly sizable gain. Companies con-
centrating on predominantly indus
trial market areas have the better
possibilities of rejecting further
gains in consumer purchasing power.
The sales volume trend of variety
chains has not only been upward
but has shown marked resistance to
any drastic declines in recent de-
pressions. states the report. For
example. despite depressed general
business conditions during the ma jor
part of 1893, sales volume of variety
chain stores declined only 90 per
cent. Net income, though not so we'll
maintained AS dollar volume. held
up much better than average indus
trial profits last year.
The improvement in variety
chain dollar sales. which became
pronounced during the 1888 Christ
mas season. has continued this year.
Aggregate volume of the countrys
eight largest systems was up 3a per
cent during the four months ended
with April. Moreover, the Easter
business was reported as the best
on record.
Earning power of variety chains
in 1889 is expected to show sub
stantlal recovery. Although tax and
wage costs will rise to record levels.
income expansions will be benefited
by the lower average merchandise
costs. which Will permit a wider
average markup. Final operating
results should approach those
reached in 1886 and 1887"
