A friend at out.elbow suggests that there has been, so far, tliree import ant epochs in American history since Presiileiit Hoover was inducted into office. First came the yo-yo cycle when all America yo-yoed. Tliea came the miniature golf epoc i^ which is still going gooil.itseorns.

AVhy waste time trying to find out the cause of the present business depression; what difference doe.s it- make? These periods of depression come along, they lust a certain time, ami Jsi'o. They are about due to w. Wlien 1 lungs are at their -orst. it generally is about two lontlis from that time that the change comes. The way to meet hard times is to prepare for the bet- ■ >r times that are sure to follow.”— ’iiul yiioup, Pre.sidont of Lne South ern Pacific. states held at the University of Teii- ..‘s.sep at Knoxville and attended by U. B. Williams and L. G. Willis, ag ronomy workers at State College. Reporting on this conhrence, Mr. \Yilliani.s, as head of the department of agronomy at State College, said there was * a general agreement among thescieutisrs present that the heavier types of upland soils should be limed to full neutrality for grow ing rel clover, alfalfa, and sweet clover with the- precaution that the lime should lie added well in advance if planting and given time to react with the soil. A|)plications of lime six months to a year befoie seeding have been found to give the best results. The lime should be harrowed into the soil and not mixed to the full depth of plowing. Many dark bottom-land soils and sandy soils of the CoH.stal Plain will respond to light liming. There is no direct increase in the availability of sfiil potash, magnesia or phosphoric acid expected as a re sult of Imiing. Some’loss of nitro gen may occur where a good crop ro tation is not followed. Sometimes combinations of super phosphate aiuliime will give better results than limo used alone. M‘h1- erate amounts of ground doloniitic limestone can be mixed with well- cured sujierphosjiliato without mak ing the phosphoric acid available to crops. The magnesia of doloinitic lime stone neutralizes soil acidity at least as well as does lime and has the ad ditional advantage of supplying magnesia to sAils deficient in_ this element of plant food. There will be. no injurious ebnirentrations of mag nesia ill the soil where the doloinitic limestone is used properly, reports Mr. Williaiue.
