' "This has been a very profitable year for my husband. Yes?'V "Oh, yes indeed, hes gone into bankruptcy three times successfully LOUDER, PLEASE Called a miracle crop by some producers, hybrid corn is not miraculous enough to produce increased yields without making increased demands on soil fertility, according to C. M. Linsley, soils extension specialist, College of Agriculture, Uni' versity of Illinois. As farmers start thinking of their supply of hybrid seed for the coming cropping season, Linsley suggests that some thought be given to adjustments in soil and cropping management to care for the increased drain on soil fertility made by hybrid com. . The growing of hybrid corn is justified by the fact that high yields are essential to low production costs, Linsley said. However, it is essential that there be some re- in acreage and more Iduction to soil fertility and the use of legumes. By growing more corn on fewer acres at less cost, the land taken out of com can very well be devoted to legume crops. Use of adapted hybrid com on a reduced acreage, coupled with a sane program of mineral and organic matter replenishment fits well into the AAA farm program and the program of soil improvement that has been fostered for more than a quarter of a century by toe College of Agriculture. There may be some difference between hybrids in toe amount of minerals utilized, but miracle hybrids that can produce bumper yields without taking anything from the soil are yet to be produced. If such a hybrid should be discovered, it would have little value for feed or commercial use. It is estimated that the 361,673,-00- 0 bushels of corn produced on Illinois farms in 1938 used up phosphorus from the soils of the state to the equivalent of 217,000 tons of rock phosphate or '4,340 carloads of SO tons each. In addition to the phosphorus, even larger amounts of nitrogen, potassium and lime were taken from the soil by the 1938 Illinois corn crop. high-yieldi- - "Would you kindly speak a little louder, sergeant?

TIMES CHANGE soil-buildi- ng More Profit in Selling Only Infertile Eggs By producing only infertile eggs for market, Illinois farmers have a chance to boost their poultry profits by thousands of dollars annually, according to H. H. Alp, poultry extension specialist, College of Agriculture, University of Illinois. It is almost an impossibility to market eggs of high quality when This they are fertile, he said. is especially true during hot weather since a fertile egg will start incubation at a temperature slightly above 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Blood rings are a natural result of partial incubation in fertile eggs. A high percentage of fertile eggs will eventually be thrown away as rots. This loss backs up to the producer and is one of toe biggest losses he suffers. There is only one way to eliminate fertile eggs and that is to remove all males from the laying flock immediately following the close of the breeding season. Times have changed.

Buried Alive on the shoulder Hello, everybody! of Joseph sure laid an icy hand Kuritz, who sent me one of the best written yarns Ive had to date. Joes at Brooklyn now and at last writing could have used a job. He gave up his youthful ambition to be a mining engineer as. a result of events related in todays story, and switched to mechanical engineering. But, if you ask me, the magazines are looking for people who can write like Joe.., Accordingly, Im following his script pretty close. In April, 1920, Joe was a surveyor with the Glen Alden Coal Co., Scranton, Pa. It was his first job, and he was assigned to investigating pillar robbing in the Cayuga mine. Ill explain. Miners must leave enough coal to support the roof of the mine, which consists of shale, a scaly rock, that caves in supeasily. Pillar robbing means stealing coal from these remaining in which workers ports, and is illegal, since it may cause cave-in- s are killed, gas and water mains burst, even explode, and brick buildings standing on the land collapse. Its earthquake, fire and flood. Old Timbers Prove Useless as Support. The Cayuga had been deserted for 50 years. Inside Joe and ttoee companions found pillars cracked and crumbled by the weight of millions of tons of rock they had held up for five decades. As supports they were useless and might just as well have been mined out. Old timber erected by miners to protect themselves in those far, bygone years milwere rotted, useless. A touch and they collapsed to dewed dust. Not much between Joe - and the millions of tons of rock over his head. Worse, the workings were of toe pitch type each chamber like a long, sloping tunnel, some very steep. The roof was dangerously cracked. Slabs of shale hung so loose a breath would send them crashing to toe floor. Fallen rock covered toe steeply-slantin- g table.

Joe thought qf the others. Had they been crushed to a jelly-smeunder those tons of rock trapped in some doghole or cross-cu- t in a pillar? The rolling flames died, went out. In the inky black Joe groped for a match, lit his lamp. The floor was clear. He stepped out. Instantly he tobogganed down on a slab of rock he had overlooked. Four hundred feet below he brought up short on the heap of loose rock. It had blocked the entrance completely. . Joe was caught like a rat. He sat on a rock, wondered that he was not frightened, began to figure his chances of seeing sunlight again. It seemed suddenly very precious, sun and open air. Air! The rock had sucked much out, the explosion had driven more out and the fire had burned he didnt know how much of the oxygen in that black pit. Would the rest last till they got to him? Then, Joe says, panic did grip him. He shouted himself hoarse. He smashed a rock repeatedly against a pillar, listened. Not a sound. Just silence. Terrible silence. Joe saw slow death ahead suffocation, thirst, starvation. Unwounded, he wished for death swift death, rather than this drawqnqut agony. Now he could only wait helplessly. Joe says he prefers to forget the next nine hours. Imagination can be the most horrible form of torture. But his companions had escaped. With all hope gone for Joe, they had notified the surface. A relay of rescue crews, working as only mine rescue crews can, dugtorough toe from an adjoining chamber and pulled Joe out nine hours later. pillar - ' From that day on the only coal Joe can stand looking at is in a stove.
