The startling defeat of Ray Robinson by Randy Turpin has left the September situation badly over- jammed.

He has plans for the younger heavyweights who have been moving forward. Certainly of all the September meetparties, the Turpin-Robinsoheads the list in the way of gening eral interest. Robinsons defeat is old stuff now, but it is still an almost unbelievable episode. The reason for this is plain. British fighting men have been so bad through so many years that one takes British defeat for granted before a glove is thrown. There are many still who want to see what happened to Robinson since he crossed the purling Atlantic. Slump: in fighting form are not uncommon but it is difficult to see how Robinson could have gone back September $500,000 show.

Naturally we are upset at the news of his death, and would like to come to Philadelphia for a week or two to rest up and visit you. Less than three days elapsed before Mrs. Roscoe had a reply. Darling Grace, Beatrice wrote, news of dear Uncle Ralphs death has upset us terribly. Of course you need a rest. And both Chauncey and I will be delighted to have you as our guests for as long as you want to stay, despite the fact that at present we have other relatives visiting us. Chauncey and I can sleep in the day bed in the living room. Humph! Mrs. Roscoe folded the letter with a look of triumph. IT Floridas concent, ated citrus fruit processors have found a gold mine from what was once a complete food loss. In so doing so, the processors are solving one of the citrus industrys most troublesome problems. The problem had to do with the disposal of hundreds of tons of orange, grapefruit and other citrus fruit rinds, pulp and seeds. The end result has been the development of a new cattle beef and dairy feed that is making cattle healthier and increasing the amount and as you probably know, Mrs. Roscoe wrote, dear Uncle has who been Ralph, living in Al- berta these past Citrus Fruit Processers Develop New Cattle Feed a long that, more relatives, more pleasant match the amount of nitrogen available when the ears are shooting. This is its insurance for seed another year. When nitrogen is lacking the middle of the leaf turns yellow and dies. Signs of nitrogen starvation can show on the corn any time from the knee-hig- h stage to maturity. Early hints are skinny stalks and pale green leaves. Firing of the lower leaves is another sign, although it is often mistakenly blamed on drouth. You can add more nitrogen for your corn in three ways: (1) By deep-roote- d having more legumes in the rotation; (2) By using more manure; (3) By using fertilizer carrying nitrogen. The point to remember is that no matter how much nitrogen the corn gets, it cannot build strong roots and stalks and fill out kernels unless it has plenty of phosphate and potash, too, Besides adding nitrogen, well-fe- d deep-roote- d legumes such as alfalfa and sweet clover unlock tightly packed clay soils below the plow layer and let air and water in. well-fertiliz- ed The jeep is challenging other equipment in the important farm operation of spraying to control weeds and insects.

Ill go up and get Chauncey to come out for our luggage, Roscoe told his wife. Roscoe climbed out of the car and ran through the pelting rain to the house. He disappeared inside, while Mrs. Roscoe waited. She waited perhaps three minutes and then became irritable. What was the idea? she asked herself. What kind of a reception was this for the heirs of millions? The front door suddenly burst open and Roscoe came hurtling down the walk. Breathing heavily, Roscoe climbed into the car.
