Any farmer can build his soiIa
fertility and crop producing ability
by good management methods. He
can get bigger crop yields per acre
through use of fertilizer carrying
nitrogen, phosphate and potash as
needed. He can build soil structure
by growing deep-rooted legumes
such as alfalfa or sweet clover in
the rotation. Roots of the legurnes
will open tight soil and let air and
water in. Plowed under, the legumes
will add to the soils organic mat

Anne looked at her wrist watch.
In the turmoil of her thoughts, more
than an hour had passed. She rose

the apartment. Tom certainly

Anyway 1t was over. She could
start rebuilding her life somehow.
At least, she was thinking as she
put her key into the door, she had

Then she opened the door. And
all thought fled. He had not left.
His trunk and bags were still there,
and he was standing beside them.
"Anne," Tom said, as woodenly
she closed the door behind her,
holding to the knob for support.
"Anne!"

it. I never stopped knowing 1t.
It was just that-you didn't seem

Didn't need you, Tom?" In sur

to release herself, to look up at
him in astonishment. "But I do.
IVe always needed you. The times
when you were away"
And then, without warning, the
tears came. It was the first time
she ever had let him see her cry.
Men hated weepy women, but when
the tears were over, something cold
and dead inside her had been
washed away.
She dried her eyes on Toms
handkerchief and held her lips up
for his kiss. And she knew then,
somehow, what he meant. She had
made their marriage a thing light
and gay-and it had been too light,
too gay. With her casual goodbys
and her bright welcomes she had
hid her emotions too well That
men hate emotion had been her
guiding principle.
But good marriage has

In avoiding one extreme she had
gone to another.

But she was able to still the ques-

spoken. For she saw the direction
of his look, and followed it to see
the message for Thelma which she
had begun, directing her to buy
tomatoes and other items, but had

be away for several days, some
times even for weeks. And the time
when he was gone was just series
of empty days and nights in which
she missed him so much the sense
of his absence was almost a physi-
cal ache.
But she'd known how it would be,
and knowing, had accepted the JOB
of making their marriage work.
She had never fretted or wept when
Tom had to be away. She'd kissed
him goodby lightly and welcomed
him back in the same spirit. She
hadn't clung to him wnen he left
or fused over him when he re-
turned. Men hated that.
She had never let him guess the
horrible loneliness that stayed with
her when he was away on an as
signment, lest it make him feel
guilty for leaving her alone so
much. And she'd kept her job,
writing store copy, not because she
liked or needed it but because it
helped fill the days Of waiting when
he was away.
But she hadn't let the job come
between her and the home she was
trying to make for him. With the
help of Thelma and much fore
thought, she had kept it running
so smoothly the mechanics OF
housekeeping never had obtruded
upon the time they did have togeth-
er. And yet -
She still could not analyze it. Why
Tom gradually had become dissatis-
fled and restless. Had taken to
making excuses for staying away
even when he was not on an as
signment.

QUESTION: There is a little
crack directly over my sink where
it forms a joint with the plaster
wall. The white plaster used for
filling the crack always comes out.
What can be done?
ANSWER: Before the war it was
possible to get neat, flexible metal
moulding that was made for crack
such as yours, or to cover the crack
at the top of bathtub. If you can
not find any of this, fill the crack
with light caulking COM

never becomes hard or brittle. Al
ter forcing it into the crack, run
your finger along the surface to
smooth it, and after a few days,
touch it up with enamel to match

Activated Charcoal Used
To Prevent 4-D Harm

Crop plants can be protected from
harm by 2,4-D used for killing
weeds by pre-planting treatment
with powdered activated charcoal.
The treatment is of especial value
for crops that are set out as young
plants already rooted. This is done
by busting the roots with the ac-
tivated charcoal powder before
planting, greatly reducing loss caus-
ed by 2,4-D.

It didn't stop, after all. But the
fear Of being caught there by Toms
arrival stayed with her until she

reached the small park did she slow

She found a bench in the cool
sunshine and sat down. Then,
watching the placid pigeons, the
screeching children on skates, the
mothers pushing carriages and the

to keep her thoughts turned from

Healthy Plants Needed
To Assure Good Crop
Sturdy Growth Hinges
On WeII-FertiIized Soil

Healthy plants, like healthy hu
mans, are better fitted to fight of
insect and disease attacks than are
undernourished ones. Enemies have
a tougher time getting under the
guard of well fed plants. Such plants
have stronger root systems and
harder, better developed growth
above ground. They can stand or

Whether your crops are well fed o,

QUESTION: Is the periodic use
of yeast helpful or detrimental to
septic tank? What effect will the
use Of drain cleaners have on sep
tic tank? Is there any specially de-
signed product on the market to
keep septic tanks in better working
order?
ANSWER: Small quantities of a
drain cleaner can be safely used,
but large quantities will stop bac-
terial action. In such cases, large
volunn of water should be run into
the tank to carry off the chemicals.
Bacterial action can then be re-
started by dissolving six cakes of
yeast in 1ukewarm water in wash
basin and flushing it into the tank.
QUESTION: Is there any way to
remove the discoloration on my new
plasterwork caused by rain soaking
through the sheathing and insula-
ton?
ANSWER: Stains on the plaster
from the rain have gone all the way
through and cannot be removed.
After the plaster has dried out you
can paint the walls. The alterna-
tive is to cut out the stained part of
the plaster and rep1aster.

1890 Anne had packed all of his
personal belongings into the three
pigskin bags and the wardrobe
trunk, which she dragged empty
into the foyer of the apartment and
filled there. Tom was never pune
tual. He might come half an hour
early or half an hour late, and she
wanted to have everything ready
in time so that she could be out
when he came.
She did not linger over the pack
ing or allow herself to feel anything.
even when she put the set OF cuff
links and studs which had been her
wedding gift to him and the silver
mounted military brushes she had
given him on their first-and only
anniversary into the last bag.
I wonder if anyone else in New
York uses military brushes. she
caught herself thinking. I never
knew any other man who did. A
brief mental picture came to her OF
Tom before the mirror, making a
determined effort with the brushes
to force his sandy hair to stay in

come she banished it.
Surgical operations should be

scuffed sturdiness, strangely re-
minding her of Tom, did she have
time to feel the emptiness within
her. AS if, in emptying the closet
and bureau of his things, she had
taken something from inside herself
and packed it too.
To escape the curious numbness
which gripped her, she turned swift
ly and went for her hat and coat.
In getting them from the closet be-
side the front door she saw the
large pad which hung there where
Thelma, the maid, could not help
seeing it both on arriving and leav-
ing. Thelma was a good worker,

self. If you let go now, it'll just
hurt worse and longer.
She slipped into her coat, forced
herself to put on her hat with care.
Then she took up the pencil that
was tied to the pad by a red string
and tried to think what she would
need. Tomatoes, lettuce, oranges,
bread, milk, coffee, she thought.

Swift panic assailed her. 1t was
early, but it might be Tom. He
mustn't find her here. To see him
again, not knowing even now what
it was that had gone wrong, would
be more than she could face. Her

EwingAsksLiberaIized
Security Payments for
Living Cost Crisis

A "crisis has arisen" in the social
security program as a result OF the
widening gap" between social Sc
curity payments and the cost OF llv-
ing, Federal Security Administrator
Oscar r. Ewing asserted yesterday.
Mr.. Ewing called for congression-
al action to liberalize benefits and
relieve the worst of the current
pressures."
He accompanied his statement
with excerpts from letters received
by FSA from social security bene-
fciaries, telling of their financial
difficulties.
"Too many of our dependent chill
dren and our aged are in dire
straits" the administrator declared.
The problem has been develop
ing for several years, he said. "and
could have been in large part fore
stalled" If earlier FSA recommends
tions for liberalized social security
payments had been carried out.
THE cumulative effect OF the
crisis has reached the breaking
point for many people" he said.
More than 100000 persons today
receive payments under social Sc
curity-more than 100000 from
old-age and survivors insurance
and more than 100000 under
public assistance programs.
In Washington a family of four
in February needed about $299 a
month, and an elderly couple, $152
month for a modest but ade-
quate" living level, according to an
FSA study which accompanied Mr..
Ewing's statement. The maximum
assistance payment here is $39, ac-
cording to the study. The maxi
mum benefit here under old-age
and survivors insurance Is $67.
The average here In June, 1947, was
