Answer: This legume grows best on medium to heavy bottom land but satisfactory yields may be ob tained on most uplands. The Common, Tennessee 76, and Kobe varieties grow well in all soils of lower altitude in the mountain section, and on the slate, sandy loams, blackjack lands, and red clay soils of the piedmont section. Low-lying, moderately heavy soils, river bottoms, and sandy loams are best in the coastal plains. The Korean variety is especially adapted for the mountains be cause of its earliness and it will produce well on practically all the better soils. Neither variety is of much value when seeded on very acid or sandy soils. Question: How much cod-liver oil should be used when fed on the scratch feed? Answer: Cod-liver oil should be fed at the rate of one and one half pounds to each 100 pounds of scratch feed. The best way to feed this oil is to weigh out 25 pounds of scratch feed and thoroughy mix six ounces of cod-liver oil with this amount. This should then be used until entirely con sumed before another lot is mix ed. It is also advisable to keep feed that is mixed with cod-liver oil in some container that can be closed so that it will not be ex posed to the direct rays of the sun as this exposure would de tract from the feeding value and also cause the feed to sour. Question: Does it pay to apply fertilizer to a new pasture? Answer: Recent experiments have shown remarkable increases in grazing from the use of ferti lizers and the use is therefore recommended. In general the mixture should be the same as used for corn in the locality. An application of from 200 to 400 pounds of a 4-8-4 mixture would be suitable, in most cases, for the Coastal Plain, and a similar amount of a 4-12-4 for the Pied mont and Mountains. The ferti lizer may be harrowed in before seeding or may be drilled in with the seed. Limestone at the rate of from 1,000 to 2,000 pounds an acre is also beneficial on very acid soils. Boxes and crates take four bil lion feet of lumber every year, or 15 per cent of our timber cut. To save waste, the Department of Commerce has prepared a pamph let showing how to make more than a hundred useful articles toys, dog houses, fireless cookers, and so on—from old boxboards. V STEAM speed The other day I saw men work ing on the first of ten new streamlined locomotives . being built to haul passengers between New York and Boston at 100 miles an hour. These new giants of the rails are neither electric nor Diesels—they are steam engines. Checking over some figures of railroad speeds, I found that none of the modern high-speed trains makes as fast time as used to be made from 1897 on for several years between Camden and At lantic City. The regular daily schedule called for 69 miles an hour. Railway speeds slowed down when steel cars replaced the old wooden ones which weighed only half as much. But now the steam locomotive builders have put more power and speed into the "iron horse," and I look to see new long distance speed records madt; for heavy trains. * * • CHIMNEYS exit? Two newspaper items about chimneys caught my eye the other 'day. The Duke of Windsor, who ! was King of England for a while, | entertained the chimney sweeps jof Enzesfeld, Austria, the boys | who climb up (or down) chim jneys to clean them. And chemical engineers meeting in New York discussed a new way of "scrub bing" chimney smoke, to recover sulphur and remove poisonous gasses. All of which reminded me that chimneys are quite a new inven tion in the long history of the human race. It was not until about the time that Gutenberg invented printing, not long before Columbus discovered America, that people began to build flues to carry off the smoke from their fires. Before then, a hole in the roof answered the purpose, as it does still with the Eskimoes and the Siberian peasants. Maybe chimneys will become obsolete again, when we do all our cooking and heating by electric ity. » • • WINDOWS taxed Thinking of chimneys made me think of windows. People put windows in their houses long be fore they had chimneys, but it is only very recently that ordinary folks have had glass in their win dows. Glass was for the rich. Poor folk used skins scraped down thin enough to let some light through, or oiled paper, after paper began to be made. Windows, with or without glass, were long regarded as luxuries and taxed as such. They still are in Prance. A large part of the reve nue of the French government comes from the tax on doors and windows. That is one reason why the cottages of French peasants are so badly ventilated. England abolished the window tax in 1851, but some American states still levied it up to a very few years ago, as the wlndowless barns I have often seen in Con necticut testify.' • • • DISTRIBUTION If you want to make a fortune, devise some sure-fire way of dis tributing merchandise to consum ers more economically than any one is doing it not. I am not jok ing when I say there are millions to be made by anyone who can do that, for millions upon millions have been made by those who de vised the most efficient distribu tion systjms now in use. Chain stores, mail-order houses, advertising of eery kind, are all parts of the most efficient distri bution system yet evolved. No where else in the world are all kinds of goods so readily and cheaply obtained by everybody as In America. From 40 to 80 percent of what the retail customer pay* for most low-priced goods represents the cost of getting the article into the consumer's hands. Nobody makes much of a profit anywhere along the line, but everybody who helps to pass any article on to ward the buyer has to be paid (Hit of the final selling price. Find A way to cut that cost, young man, and the world will reward you with millions. * ♦ * FLYING 1937 service It won't be long now before regular airplane passenger service will be available across the Atlan tic. The largest planes ever built are under construction in Eng land. American aviation interests are cooperating with them. By next Summer we may see regular scheduled flights between Ireland and Newfoundland, perhaps be tween London and Montreal. Flying has made great advances in the past two or three years. Flying over water is now regarded by airmen 83 safer than flying over land. P'anes are being con stantly improved, new navigation instruments make night flying as 7 . , . . ' , aaxe ana certain as oayugnt I expect to be able to fly around the world in three weeks, before the end of 1937. I probably wont do it. I'd rather go slower and see more of the world.

Paradoxical, but If we fail to PRESERVE the Constitution we'll soon find ourselves in a SWEET mess.
