This tumbler of brandy-and-soda be longs to Winston Churchill, Chancellor of the Exchequer, who sips it occassionally during the long budget debates. Beside it he places his small private snuffbox from which he takes liberal pinches from time to time. When these two unusual apurten ances of British public life appear on the ancient table, the House knows that Churchill expects to make an im portant speech. During his budget statement the Chancellor, having finished his review of the existing sources of nation a) income, said: “I will now proceed to fortify the source of national revenue" whereupon he took a long draught from the tumbler at which the House laughed uproariously. o t .

■ Fertile Soil Is *■: i a Real Treasure I English Scientist Emphasizes Importance of Organic Matter. '• mine'rich in ur „ i. to the X " 1 end ; bU ‘ ? her * comparison must ♦nd for the good farmer never depletes the fertility of his soil. A w'w’; 81 1!, < “ fer, “ e BuUr 88k> '' , W. Blair, soil chemist of the New Jersey agricultural experiment station’ Soil Fertility Defined. Definitions will vary according to the viewpoint of those giving them a definition given by the noted English •dentist, Sir Henry Gilbert, In a lee ' ture on 'Agricultural Investigations,' delivered at Rutgers college forty years ago last October, is at least full of meaning. He said: ‘The history of agriculture throughout the world, so' j fur as we know it, clearly shows ehut j u fertile soil is one which has accumuI luted within it the residue of ages ot previous vegetation, and that It becomes infertile as this residue is exhausted; and enormous as are the accumulations in the prairie lands of the ’ American continent, it is still deslri able to postpone rather than to accel erate the time of their exhaustion.’ Statement by English Expert. I "Another of Englund's distinguished , scientists, Sir John Russell, while on , a visit to the New Jersey experiment station In October, 1924. made this significant statement: ‘The English farmer must get 30 bushels of wheat and about 300 bushels of potatoes to the acre or he loses money.' i “This definition is given in terms of the soil's crop-producing power, but the two definitions are not far apart In actual meaning, since u soil that is deficient In organic matter—the accumulated residue of ages of vegetation mentioned by Doctor Gilbertwill not produce 30 bushels of wheat or 3(JO bushels of potatoes to the acre. 1 "In one of his lectures in this collutry, Doctor Russell further emphasized the Importance of a supply of organic matter as follows: 'One of . the great needs of agriculture in America, as I see it, is a more general practice of saving and applying barn yard manure, the using of lime to sweeten the soil, so that leguminous 1 crops may be grown, and the following jof proper crop rotations. The English farmer was forced to adopt this practice long ago. because of the limited acreage of farm lands.' “The question /of maintaining the ' supply of organic matter in the soil | is becoming more serious every year. There is yet much room for improve ment in methods of handling and using farm manure, and in the growing of green manure crops. American farmers must sooner or later adopt the I practices which long ago proved so | successful in Europe." Cocklebur Plants Will Cause Serious Injury A series of experiments conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture has shown that cocklebur plants are poisonous to swine, cattle, sheep, and chickens. Some have con I (ended that deaths due to cockleburs were caused by mechanical action of the burs on the tender organs of the | animals rather than to poisonous qual ities of the plant. After extended experiments with the animals mentioned above, the depart ment concludes that while the burs may produce some mechanical injury and while the seeds are very poisonous, stock poisoning is caused by feeding on the very young plants before the development of true leaves. If there Is n shortage of good forage ami ' animals find the young plants, they may easily eat enough to cause serl- | ous results. Feeding milk to pigs Immediately ■after they have eaten cockleburs has proved beneficial, probably because of the fat content. Successful results may ! be expected also, when such oils and | fats as bacon grease, lard and linseed ( oil are used as remedies, according to experts. Asparagus One of Most Dependable Vegetables Remember that asparagus Is one of ; the most dependable and nutritious vegetables that w’e have, and one of the earliest to be ready for use in the spring. The Mary Washington variety I is considered the best for both home 'use and commercial purposes. Set the I crowns in the garden in rows four feet I apart and two feet apart In the row. I A good crop will be produced. I Prepare hills for melons, cucumbers and squash now. Mix the manure well with soil after adding a handful of I acid phosphate and kainlt, but do not 1 plant outdoors until apple blossoms 'open. A few for very early use may ! be started in strawberry boxes placed in botbeds. Good Garden Rotation It is quite likely that, when once the garden plot has been located, It will not be changed for a number of years. In order to provide for proper rota-, tlon, a certain portion should be seeded to clover each year. It is not advisable from the standpoints of maintaining soil fertility, and controlling insects and plant diseases that any one crop be planted twice In succes s|on in the same place. By referring, each year to the plan of the preceding year, these changes may be provided tor- _

i Telephone Center Os U. S. Is In Indiana iiidianapolis. Ind., June 6. —(United Press.) —The telephone center of the United States, like (he center of population, is in Indiana, according to the 'lndiana committee on public utility information i More than keeping pace with the westward march of population, the telephone has steadily advanced from I its humble beginning of forty-nine years ago and has widened its sphere 1 of influence until today the median points of both population and the telephones are only a few miles apafl "In the period beginning with 1876 the median point of telephones has traveled from Boston to Logansport, approximately 78u miles west and ' no miles south, or about SOO miles in an airline,” says the committee ', “During the same period the median | line ot population lias moved only from Springfield, Ohio to a point Washington a distance of 135 miles west. "It was in Boston that the tele phone had Its birth. There the first ' telephones were made and used. And just, as the original thirteen colonies were scattered along the Atlantic sea board, so also was the early telephone ' development, confined io that narrow section. From the larger cities and towns, lhe population gradually spread out, by slow degrees, wending . its way ever farther and farther west. So also the telephone which bad its origin in New England soon found its way to New York and Philadel phia and from these places began another march westward until finally I I he median point of telephone development not only has overtaken
