Berkeley, Calif.--With virtually no good free land left in the United States for families to settle, the future of the country depends largely on .the con serration and conversion to proper use of) vast tracts that have been jgiade useless by abuse in the past, believes L. C. Gray, assistant administrator of the resettlement administration. "Less than a century ago," said Gray, "there were hundreds of thousands of acres of good land in the public domain available to citizens who wanted to stake out a homestead. Today not only Is there scarcely an acre of such land but countless thousands of acres that once were profitable have been ruined unless they can be converted to other uses or restored to their original productiveness. Gray cited four great 'districts In the United States where the misuse of land has not only made It unprofitable but in many cases has reduced the be: Cupants to economic misery. Poverty in great portions of Hie southern Appalachian mountains where living conditions are particularly severe, he said, is the direct result of an unscientific use of land. Forests Rapidly Thinned. Forests, which formerly provided the chief income, were cut off without any care for the future reproduction of trees. The land as a rule is too steep for farming; cultivation only aggravates the problem by encouraging soil erosion, and with both the forests and top soil gone the standard of living of the inhabitants has decreased steadily. The old forest region bordering the Great Lakes, which presents a similar problem; the western plains, where the destruction of forests has eliminated moisture and produced duststorms in recent years, and fiqpllvaUe old cotton belt of the South, he saidl^ are instances of the misuse of soil that is now causing poverty for great portions of the people. Grpw» with Year*. The situation, he declared, is even graver for the future than it is for the present. With an inevitably Increasing population the nation will require more land under cultivation in the future than now. Whenever industrial depressions occur hundreds of thousands will go back to the land as they did during the present one. With no virgin! land left and with great sections of the country made profitless by misuse of the land In the past, the problem, he declared, can only be solved by a well-defined governmental policy of soil conversion and conservation. Studies made by the resettlement administration, Gray believes, show that unless all people living off the soil can do so profitably a great burden of taxation is thrown on persons.

Lansley, Solla Kxtensfoh ip»eWl- INt Onlv«r»ltjr of Illinois.--WNU 8«rv1c«. Through a new potassium test and experiments with potassium fertilizers, the mystery of corn crop failures on some older soils has been solved. Farmers who limed their land years ago, in many cases phosphated it and have been growing clovers regularly In the rotation, have suddenly found that corn has begun to fall. In some fields the poor corn shows up In spots and In other fields the entire crop is a failure. The soils often are high in fertility, and until recently the cause of the failures has been unknown by the farmers working the land. With the perfecting of tests for available potassium, or potash, it has been found that mOst such failures have been caused by a lack, of sufficient potassium. Since corn seems to be especially sensitive to this element, it Is the first crop to show a peed for the mineral. Soils showing a deficiency of potassium but containing plenty of the other fertility elements will again yield normal corn crops If treated with potash fertilizer. It also has been found that application of manure and straw will help delay the time when lack of potassium becomes serious. Both manure and straw should be applied before decay and leaching have bad time to carry away the potash and other elements of fertility. Return of straw to land that has not grown clover may reduce yields temporarily by tying up the small amount of available nitrogen found in such soils.

A general spirit of rejoicing prevailed, and the cathedral was filled > .gjtlly with devout worshipers. On the high altar was a very beautiful cross that Instantly caught the eye of ijSVery one who entered the cathedral. The cross was one of the most expensive that money could purchase. It was wrought of pure gold and studded j with rare and sparkling gems. There I jftie cross stood all alone--a "lonely fJross" for many years, while thou •imds of people through its symbolism were uplifted and strengthened in mind and heart. One day something almost mlracn-' feus occurred. The cross of gold seemed to speak. While passing In front of the altar, an attendant of the temple seemed to henr a voice from & te->'"• 'the cross which said: "1 am very lone Jy here. Many people gaze upon me, but they are so very far away. None of them ever touch me. I seem so remote. so very far away from the thronging mass of people In your big • fclty." The attendant could scarcely believe he heard aright, hut the voice . from the cross continued: "Will you not remove me from this secluded nook #nd place me where human need Is the greatest; where people live in con' s, gested centers and are neglected and. ' discouraged; where men are out of work and where little children cry with hunger?" So they -took down the .cross. The precious gems were sold, the gold was melted, and with the jnoney. food was bought for the hum gry. raiment for the poor and rtaked. . Once again the lamps of courage and hope burned within the hearts of many people. But no cross stood upon the marble Slab of the high altar. So the keepers of the cathedral passed among those who had been helped an alms plate, and upon it the poor gave of their . , small earnings--many coins small in value but rich In gratitude. -With these coins they had made. In a carpenter's •hop, a cross of the finest wood; a beautiful cross symmetrically perfect. This cross was tenderly placed upon the high altar. As the attendant passed by the cross he seemed to hear another voice which spoke In a spirit both Joyous and victorious: "Love I gave thee with myself to love. "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, yt have done it unto me." • Wcatara Newspaper Union. . . t*,., _ ; -- /'• Establish Modal Village A.

"A hundred yjears ago only the wealthy could^travel," said Edwin Robert Petre^director of the Institute of Foreign (Travel, "but travel now belongs to the great middle classes. In a few decades i suppose that the man who has not seen Europe will be such a rarity that newspapers will send out Interviews to get his story. They'll want to know whether he has heard of Shakespeare or ridden in a horseless carriage." t Low cost of travel on water, continued improvement both In the comfort and speed of steamship and Improved «international relations account for the ,fact that 74 per cent of all 1035 travelers on passports went to Europe, Mr. Petre believes. "The fact that American newspapers are unique in the world in devoting large space to foreign news and descriptions of foreign places," Mr. Petre said, "has also helped immeasurably in making Americans travel-conscious." Sheep Income This Year Is Expected to Be Higjj "Prices for lambs In 1936 are likely to average the highest of any year since 1924," says J. B. McNulty, agricultural extension economist, University Farm, St. Paul. Wool prices also promise to be strong, making the outlook relatively favorable for sheep men. The basts of this forecast ,1s largely the fact that the number of ewes In 1936 is likely to be little, If any, larger than In 1935, and about 7 per cent lower than In 1934. Woolen mill ^ctlvlty has been at a high level and the carryover of wool in the United States is likely to be the smallest in several years. Prices for fed lambs marketed from late winter to May, 1936, are likely to be higher than for the corresponding period a year ago. A reduced crop of late lambs In the western states resulted In a short supply of feeder lambs for winter feed lots. Some Increase In demand may be expected from higher consumer Incomes. On the outlook for horses there Is no longer any large demand for horses except on farms. Even on farms there has been an Increasing substitution of mechanical power for horse power. The number of horses needed In the future iWll probably be no greater, and possibly less than at present, unless motor fuel costs rise decidedly as compared with farm feeds and hired labor. Farmers In surplus feed areas should raise enough colts to supply their own niefcds, but the price of goOd howfiiscls not likely to increase.

Spray for Peach Trees A lime sulphur spray, either liquid or powder, will control both insects and disease, on peaches, advises the North Carolina State college. This should be applied any time between now and just before the buds swell. After the buds swell, this application will not control peach leaf curl disease. Where an oil spray is used for control of scale Insects a 3-4-50 Bordeaux mixture must be added. When making this combination spray the Bordeaux should be made first and then the oil added, In making liquid lime sulphur use six gallons llme-surphur to 50 gallons of the spray. For the dry mix 15 pounds of dry. lime sulphur should be used to 50 gallons of spray.
