In the opinion of Russell E. Underwood, extension soil conservationist at the New Jersey college of agriculture, Rutgers university, the use of mulch is valuable in this respect, especially where specialized crops prohibit the use of rotations. When specialized crops are grown on sloping land and clean cultivation is practiced to control weeds and check evaporation of soil moisture, the soil is exposed and very vulnerable to dashing rains, Mr. Underwood explains. Mulch should be applied in strips across the slope so as to cover from one-hato of the land area. This applies to mulch grown on available adjacent land. Frequently, however, the mulch crop could be grown and not harvested but allowed to remain on the land for protection against erosion. Oats, barley and Sudan grass planted in late summer will make fairly good growth before being killed by winter freezes. Such material offers good protection against winter erosion and has the advantage of being anchored to the soil so that it is not washed or blown away. two-thir- lf ds Exercise makes one symmetrical and keeps the doctor away.

This picture was taken on the site of the possible exten sion of the Maginot-Siegfrie- d lines. Night or day, sunlight or darkness, temperature control within a fraction of a degree, and plant-lif- e that can be put to work or put to bed at will, all are under the control of scientists in a specially-designe- d chamber at the New York state college of agriculture. The exactness of control is probably the greatest yet achieved in any laboratory, and the aim is to unravel the mystery of plant vigor, the quality that makes any one stock superior to others, either in or in other yield, ways. In plant breeding, it is known that when two inbred or purebred strains are crossed, the result (a hybrid) may be astonishingly better than the parent stock. This is referred to as hybrid vigor. Why and how this happens are subjects of study by plant physiologists. disease-resistanc- - e, Farm Topics One of the best ways tocut the cost of growing heifers is to provide improved pastures.

Italy. As the crow (or the aviator) flies, Since Hannibal made his precarithe trip from the southwest tip of ous way over natures rugged path, Switzerland to the sea is about 150 miles long. Following the torturous route of the actual border, however, as it curves and twists along French and Italian Alps, the distance is roughly 300 miles. This stretch is the only spot in Europe where French and Italian frontiers meet. Soldiers Fly Through the Air. On both sides of the line, men with ' forts, pillboxes, and barbed wire already guard their borders. Alpine troops, including the French Chasseurs and the Italian Bersag-lier- i, are trained and equipped for 4he peculiar and exacting duty of mountain operations. Skilled skiers, they learn the tricks of the trade: how to meet constant danger from nature in a land of glaciers, hidden crevices, and avalanches; how to conceal themselves from the enemy; and how to shoot to the best advantage in their special field of Germany her Limes (or Siegfried) line.

HER ALLOWANCE WENT FAST Paper, in some form, is so common in American homes that one does not give much thought as to how or from what it is made although the value of paper products manufactured annually in the United States amounts to about a billion dollars. At one time spruce and balsam were the principal woods from which paper was made but the gradual decrease in the stands of these woods caused the U. S. forest products laboratory, Madison, Wis., several years ago to begin investigating other woods for paper making. The forest products laboratory has found that good pulps for various kinds of paper can be made from many kinds of wood, up to the present time having satisfactorily tried out over 90 different species.

Further tests on immunity will be conducted at the agricultural college to keep veterinarians and live stock owners informed with reference to the period of immunity established by the vaccine. In the meantime, it is suggested that all good horses be immunized immediately with two doses of chick embryo vaccine to avoid losses which were reported in 85 different counties last year. Horses that had the disease and recovered last year and horses that were vaccinated should be revaccinated, it is recommended by staff members of the division of animal pathology and hygiene. It is hoped that tests under way at the college of agriculture will determine if horses are immune longer than eight months. Suspicious clinical cases of sleeping sickness in horses have been reported from different sections of the state. However, tests of materials submitted to the laboratory of animal pathology and hygiene have as yet failed to yield the virus of the disease. HENRY HARRISON the oldest President when inaugurated.
