Villains of Erosion.
To Mr.. Faulkners charge that
blowing is solely responsible for ero-
sion, DR.. Albrecht counters with the
assertion that the real villains are
continuous cropping and the steady
removal of plant food elements year
after year without any effort to re-
plenish the soils resources of nitro
gen, phosphorus and potash.
ut is true that blowing and crop
ping a soil year after year bring
with them declining crop yields" he
says. For these one might readily
pounce upon the pillow as the culprit
in the case. But the fact is that
declining crop yields have other
causes than merely the blowing op-

soil could offer nothing and no
growth could occur"
Flowing has the further scientific
value of helping the soil supply a
larger amount of soluble nitrogen
for growing crops than would other
wise be available, according to DR..
Albrecht. Studies of the nitrate sup
ply in soil planted to corn forcefully
support this finding.
Tests were made on three adjoin-
ing plots planted to corn One plot
was unplowed The second was
plowed. The third was both plowed
and cultivated. The soluble nitrogen
supply in the plot that was plowed
and cultivated was at least 80 per
cent greater than in the unplowed
tract. In the plowed tract it was
between Is and 80 per cent greater.
Crop yields correspond to the
level of these nitrate supplies says
DR.. Albrecht 1.-THE farmer may not
know that these higher levels of nj
trate are responsible for his i'm
proved crop yield. Nor may he
understand that they are the result
of his making the soil turn turtle
with his pillow. He simply plows
ahead of the corn to get a better
crop. His inability to point out the
underlying scientific channels through
which the effects of blowing are
transmitted to the crop, does not put
the pillow into bad repute in his eyes.
Surely the hundreds of thousands
of corn producers will not suddenly
discard so ancient an implement
merely because they cannot call to

Flowing Useful in Keeping Up Fertility Old Forest Lands

In expanding upon the statement
above concerning soil differences in
forest and in field, DR.. Albrecht has
this to say about soil conditions in
the forested Atlantic seacoast:
when the forest soils which the
Puritans found we're cleared of their
trees and cultivated, they were soon
abandoned as agricultural land by
the pioneers who were willing to
face the hazardous movement west

facts have not commonly been relat-

the twigs and are quite thick and
leathery. Both the upper and lower
surface is smooth and the veins are
clearly defined.
AS you can see, the flowers are
fairly large. And as the shrub Is
closely related to the cape jasmine,
the flowers resemble them somewhat.
There are not many blossoms, but
they are very fragrant. Most Of
them are white, though some trees
produce slightly yellow ones. If
gathered, they will turn black. So
will the tender young leaves.
The fruit is large, thick-skinned,
pulpy berry. 1t is greatly appreci-
ated by the birds, which transport
the seeds and thus extend the range
of the shrub.
The wood is hard, close grained, a
rich, dark brown and sometimes
streaked with orange. It takes on
a high polish. So far, no CONNER
cial Importance has been forecast
for the seven-year apple.
Genipa americana, introduced in
1914 from the West Indies, is a
small tree with leaves to 10 inches
long, lanceolate -oblong and glab-
rous. The fruit is similar to that of
the, seven-year apple and is highly
praised when cooked. 1t Is believed
that in time this fruit will be more
appreciated and improved.
In the places where these shrubs
or small trees are found they add
much attractiveness to the land
scape. They have decidedly trop-
ical appearance and the fragrance
of their flowers is delightful.

honor of Mars, the Roman war god.
Mars also had month (Marcb)
named after him. He is the only
Roman god who was honored In |
those two ways-once for q month
and once for a day Of the week.
Anglo-Saxons settled in England
almost $500 years ago and with
them they brought names for the
days Of the week. These people had
been living in West Central Europe,
on land now part of Germany.
1t seems plain that they got the
names of the week from the Roman
Empire. I.
The Roman Empire spread out in
the north to places near the home
land of the Angles and Saxons.
In time of peace certain amount
of trading took place. During this
trading it is likely that the Romans
told the tribesmen the names which
had been given to days of the week.
Anglo Saxon tribes did not speak
Latin but they took the Latin names
and changed them to At their own
languages. In the case Of 4Dies
Martis" the change was to DAY Of
Thu" or THUS day."
Thu was a god Of Northern
Europe. He was given worship by
the Angles and Saxons. also by
other tribes Of Germanic stock.
Under the name of Tyr he was
war god Of the Norsemen.
T'-a best of the old legends about
Til Us how he gave his right hand
for sake of the peace Of the
gods. This Is how the story goes:
There was gigantic wolf in the
home Of the gods. Efforts were
made to chain him but always he
broke loose. Not wishing to stain
their home with the animals blood
through killing him, the gods OBJ
tanned a magical silken chain from
the elves.
"The wolf would not let this bond
be used on him unless one of the
gods put his right hand In the
VOLTS mouth. Only Thu was willing
to do that. When the wolf found
himself tightly bound he bit on
THUS hand.
Thus Thu lost his right hand and
ever after had to use his left hand
to hold his sword. He was happy,
however, because the wolf had been
mastered and no longer would be
danger in the home of the gods"
So our day Tuesday" grew ont
of the Day of Thu and carries the
name of hero, as we'll as war
god.
