Chinese Assembly Postponed "TwO
 Or Three Days''

RANKING, tP)-Opening of the national assembly, called by Chi ang Kai-Shek for tomorrow to es- tablish an all-party government for China, has been postponed 1.-two or three days" Minister of Information Peng Hseuh-Pei told newmen today.
 This was announced as Com munist tempers flared anew over allegations that government troops ins violation of the new cease-fire order were menacing the Red cap ital of Yenan, and as third-party representatives urged postpone ment of the session until the end of the month in the hope of reach ing an agreement with the com muniSts beforehand.
 Meanwhile government authori- ties in Peiping reported recapture of the entire northern section of the Peiping-Hankow railroad, vii tai link between north and central China, after two and one-half months of fighting.
 The last section of the line, be- tween Paoting and Shihchiachu- ang, was reported cleared of com munist troops little more than 12 hours before the deadline of Gen eralissimo's cease-fire order given his forces in a final" effort at peace.
 Communist spokesmen earlier called Chiang Kai-Shek's cease fire order ruse which would not stop the fighting, and declared that government converting of the constitutional assembly as sched- uled means a final, complete na- tional split, both political and mil itary."
 They have insisted that military forces revert to their Jan. 13 po- sitions before the assembly meet to adopt new constitution and to set up an all-party government. But government armies have made vast gains since Jan. 13, the date of a truce subsequently, shot full of holes by both armies.

ANALYST @
ON A SOILS

Raleigh, May 4.-Many Of the soils
Of the Upper Coastal Plains coun-
ties are we'll supplied with phos-
chorus. where the MoLrtain and
Piedmont soils need all of his sur
plus phosphorus, and more, If they
arc to produce crops more economic
cally, Dr.. I. f. Miles, head Of the
Soil Testing Division of the State
Department Of Agriculture, reports
in this recent summary Of the 1914
As soil analyses taken in North Car
DINA.
He says that the reason for this
is that sandy soils Of the Coastal
Plains do not usually fix or rem
der uavailable, large amounts Of
phosphorus. However, the various
clays and other extremely flee tex
tured soils found in the central and
western sections Of the State have
tremendous fixing powers.
"FurthcrmOre, a great deal more
fertilizer is often used in the sandy
, soils than IN the other soils found
in the State. This is particularly
true where the rotation includes such
crops as vegetables, truck crops, to-
bacco. and cotton declares Dr..
Miles, adding that 1T should be rec
osnized, however, that sandy soils
are also usually low in phosphorus
in instances where they have never
received much fertilizer.
