Show PAGE SIX THE TIMES- - NEWS, NEPHL UTAH Chivalry THE FICTION Complex By COfMERl GARRET SMITH BY NOON forlorn hopers in the anteemployment manager's room at Cromby & Co. boiled down to Jimmy Wheeler and the "Plucked Chicken." They had simmered since nine, waiting to be hired or to hear, "We'll file your application and let you know 11 anything turns up." Jimmy put the first of these chances at less than hundred-to-on- e shots. Odds had reversed on him since that independence day two weeks had spoken ago when his overwarmly and Jimmy's free soul chased Jimmy off the payroll. As for the Plucked Chicken, Jimmy considered the Old formula a sure thing. He hadn't given her a second look for fear he'd feel sorry for her. No name to put to a maid in distress, the formerly chivalrous Jimmy admitted guiltily. But he'd seen too many such lately. He'd soured on the sex anyhow since his boss's secretary lied herself out of a jam and him into one after he'd stood up for her. "That chivalry complex of yours is a nuisance!" the boss had roared. Old Fletcher needn't worry. Jimmy agreed with him now. The assistant manager gave Jimmy a blank to fill and turned to the Plucked Chicken. Elizabeth Bond was her name actually. Someone's private secretary once, would grab a typist job now. "We have a long waiting list. I'm afraid it isn't worth while calling again" was all she drew. Not even the Old in handed his blank. Jimmy "Thanks," said the assistant "We'll file your application " " And let me know if anything turns up," Jimmy finished. He wondered how many such days his hundred-buck reserve would stand, as he followed Miss Bond's wake. The girl was waiting for the elevator, a fragile arm braced against the wall. The dim light here softened the cheek-bonhid worry-line- s y and bleakness. Why she was class, a beauty once, before she began starving to death! The elevator came and she swayed toward it, would have fallen if Jimmy hadn't caught her. "Thank you. I'm clumsy!" Her face lit and Jimmy looked into deep violet eyes. Then face and eyes went dead again. She'd keel over on the street, he worried. No breakfast probably. He must do something quick. At the street door Jimmy clutched the germ of an idea. "Pardon me. Aren't you Miss Bond in Cromby's just now? They said you might do a letter or so for me. I'm James Wheeler. Publicity man. With the Fletcher bureau once. Cromby had another good typist on their list but couldn't reach her. Leaves me in a Jam." Her eyes widened warily then turned eager. ex-bo- "Yes. I'm free this afternoon." "Got a date then," Jimmy improvised. "Have to dictate at lunch. Mind going to Mike's place around the corner?" He hoped she wouldn't cave in and have to be carried. But she made it and dropped in a chair with a sigh that sounded contented. Jimmy mumbled something about phoning and hunted up Mike himself. Jimmy knew the answers for too much food and drink. But how did they treat a gal all out of practice? And not let her know it? He told Mike all "You start her easy, Mr. Wheeler. Leave it to me." Jimmy returned to their table as Mike brought cups of golden bouillon. "Aren't bumps fun ioujv baa she laughed. She could laugh at bumps only one meal and a couple of bucks away! She'd walk out of his life and begin starving again. Jimmy didn't want her to starve. Jimmy almightily didn't want her to walk out of his life. How could he help it? The query fuddled his bogus letters to theoretical publicity prosthem like pects as Betty a streak on paper Mike furnished. to She had tinker his sentences. Suddenly a thought popped up like an unexpected check. Why not really mail those letters? He might land free lance work and keep on using Betty! "Look here," he said.

";7. J - lege specialists list four rules to reduce water erosion on farm land. 1. Never leave the ground bare longer than necessary. Vegetation is important over the winter. 2. As the slope of the land increases, use more crops of grass and small grains and fewer cultivated crops. 3. If medium sloping land is cultivated, practice strip cropping, cross slope seeding and tilling, and use sod waterways and terraces. 4. Keep the soil in as high a state of fertility as possible. Add lime where necessary, use commercial fertilizers and. add humus through natural manures, green manures or crop residues. Soil Building The difference between soil building and soil mining is shown in the chart below. Soil building means increasing the soil's organic matter and plant food supply and maintaining high crop yields. It means feeding the soil and letting the soil feed the crops, rather than trying to feed each individual crop. The- comparative results shown here were obtained at the Ewing soil experiment field in Illinois. One plot has had no soil treatment since the field was established in 1910. The other plot has had large amounts of SOIL TREATED WITH MANURE. LIME Sr PHOSPHATE I i mr Another rudeness is asking the person the one calling, give your name and ask for the person you want.

Crop yields covering a four-yea- r rotation tell the story. Corn production on the fertilized plot was four times greater than on the untreated field; oats nearly four times and wheat about eight times greater. Clover yield on the fertilized plot was 1.9 tons per acre; the untreated plot is too acid to grow legumes. Despite the greater amounts of nitrogen and organic matter used in producing the higher yields, the fertilized plot still contains 4Vi tons more organic matter and 460 pounds more nitrogen than the untreated deep-roote- field.
