Gently arrived at San Francisco from
Shanghai. making the trip in twenty-four
hours and fifty-eight minutes.
The Great Circle route, from Shang-

IOto A. Sonntag
Tells Ro+arians
Of Soil Origin

Otto A. Sonntag, soil technician
with the soil conservation service
in Coolidge, was guest speaker of
the Coolidge Rotary club Wednes-
day noon.
He discussed the origin of soils
from different rocks, its transpor-
tation and development into true
soils. He then discussed soils and
his work in Casa Grande Valley.
\ Sonntag mentioned he was
working with the top six feet of
soil which farmers utilize in grow
ing crops in this valley. He sam
pies with an auger. or spade, or
from pits already in existence to
determine types of soil and any
inhabiting factors existing on in
dividual farms in soil conserva-
tion districts.
In mapping the soils he groups
his classifications as much as pos
sible in order to simplify applica-
ton of recommended practices
which will aid bad spots or i'm
prove good soils.
