Most people have f' - ^always believed that firing is i "caused by a lack of moisture but ? **' this year, with more than ^enough moisture, We had more an usual firing. " < Here is the reason. Either the soil .was water legged to the jpolnt that the bacteria in the soil that liberate nitrogen from tl >e onranic matter could not ^ ^rk efficiently or the hr>' h'iroid weather caused com pi-mts to grow so ranidlv art" so large that they got ahead of the soil's supply of nitrogan.

Corespondents tlMfln Tuna Spawning ^ Area Is Discovtrtd Baby bluefin tuna have beet) discovered drifting in the Gulf Stream off Miami, the first tiijie they have ever been found in the western Atlantic. "The specimens show clearly that spawning must take Iplace not very far south of Miami, possibly in the northern part of the Caribbean," the National Geographic Society announces. "From there, the young fishes drift north in the currents that eventually join the Gulf Stream." Bluefin tuna are giants among salt water game fish, growing to a thousand pounds or more. Found in all warm seas, and caught as far north as Newfoundland, the tuna has rarely been taken during the early stages of its life Very few individuals have been found weighing less than 10 > pounds. Hitherto, the area ot spawning of the giant bluefin in the western Atlantic has been a matter of conjecture Subscribe To The Plalndealer course.
