F. Miller of the Missouri College of Agriculture. The crop ; may be used in certain instances as a powerful soil builder, while in , others it may be a very exhaustive ' crop to the land. It is highly important that those growing soy- i beans understand the various factors which determine their value for soil improvement. i Os the total nitrogen in the soybean plant, only one-tenth is found in the roots and stubble when a crop is harvested for hay, and the other nine-tenths is in hay. Approximately the same thing is true when a crop is harvested for seed, provided, of course, that in both cases the leaves and stents are largely removed from the land. 1 The more leaves that remain on the soil the larger the amount of • nitrogen left on the land, so that instead of leaving one-tenth of the 1 total, a large loss of leaves in harvesting would increase the amount of nitrogen left on the land to 25 or even 50 per cent of the total. It is probably safe to assume, however, that in ordinary harvesting. either for hay or for seed, somewhere between 15 and 25 per cent of the nitrogen would be left on the field. This might be compared with red clover which has a largely f-’eshy tap-root containing] one-third -of the nitrogen of the plant when it is cut for hay, while additional amounts will be left) where the loss of leaves is excess- . ive. In general, therefore, soybeans harvested do not leave a great a-1 l mount of nitrogen in the soil as i compared with clover, and this I must be taken into consideration in 'handling the crop. | A second difficulty in handling i soybeans from the standpoint of 1 soil improvement is that they induce a good deal of soil erosion, particularly when they are sown in rows with a corn planter on rolling land. Many farmers recognize this condition and are making efforts to reduce such erosion losses, cr are growing their soybeans primarily on level land. p — — Insurance Record Set London — I DPl—lnsurance world records have been established by , the leading British insurance cornpanies and Lloyd’s underwriters, who have raised in the open London market nearly $15,00(1,000 cover for the Cunard-White Star liner Queen Mary.

POT PLANTS They Introduce Floral Beauty Where Gorden Subjects Refuse to Thrive. Renters Obtain Temporary Effects at Small Expense by Using Groups of Potted Flowers. In many tropical countries, flowers can only he grown in so-called "pot gardens," usually consisting of out door areas paved with tiles, or brick, around which the flowers growing in pots are arranged The idea is rapidly being adopted in this country for locations where, because of adverse soli or atmospheric conditions, gardens of the normal outdoor type cannot succeed. In city backyards, or court-yards, on roofs outside penthouses, on shaded terraces even in the suburbs. in short in any place where the usual garden materials would not succeed, pot gaidens offer a charming alternative. The difference which an interesting collection of plants will make, in a spot otherwise drab and uninviting, is amazing. Florists offer so great a variety of plants, of all sizes, colors and forms, that any kind of decorative effect may be worked out. A stunning two-color combination or a medley of hues like an artist's palette, may be assembled at will. A neglected area which seemed destined only to catch dirt can often be transformed into the most attractive feature of the home, by a pot garden. Even in the suburbs, where garden conditions are excellent, pot gardens are preferred by some because of their decorative effect. A row of pots on the margin of a pool, a group on the front stoop, on the steps, or along the walk, can WARNS DANGER OF STARVATION Deficient Mineral Content May Cause Tomato Starvation That tomato crops may "starve' to death in the midst of plenty" under certain conditions is the warning given out by research workers in the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. The crop may be planted on good soil which may lack one. or two elements needed for tomatoes. Re j ferring to work done at the University of Maryland, they point out | that these deficiencies may be a, single element like potassium or > magnesium, or they may consist ] of a shortage of two or three cle-1 ments or even more. A deficiency of calcium was 1 manifest by the plants becoming ■ weak and flabby and the terminal , bud soon died. With an excess of. calcium the plants grew tall but! the terminal shoot was small and ; poorly developed. The roots also 1 showed a bunching together at the base of the plants with a few long, : unbranched tap roots. Magnesium deficiency resulted in a mottling of the leaves to a light green and yellow. The mottling began on the margins and grad ually spread inward between the veins, until the whole leaf was affected. Growth was stunted and the leaves finally dropped. There were no abnormal symptoms apparent from an excess of magnes-| turn except the format!*?; of a ser-, ies of light-brown pin spots up and down the stem. A deficiency ot potassium gave very similar results to a deficiency of magnesium, although there was a heavy setting of fruit where there was an excess of potassium. Perhaps the most striking dis ferences occurred with nitrogen, where a deficiency of this element was apparent in a six io eight days and resulted in the lower leaves drying up and a general weakening of the leaf and sYem growth of the plant. An excess of nitrogen stimulated leaf and (item growth at the expense of the set of fruit, according to the University of Maryland. A deficiency of phosphorus caused the plants to bedtwne a very dark blue-green or purplish color. The lower leaves gradually turned black and the stem was slender, stunted, and covered with deep blue pin spots. With an excess of phosphorus the steins' appeal'd slightly reduced in size a,nd vigor, other wise the excess of this element did uot seem to affect the normal growth of the tops, flowers,

be charming. Renters find this an excellent way to obtain quick effects, with a minimum of expense. Set them out along the walk, or on the porch, and they will bloom through the whole summer. Many garden flowers do excell- ■ ently in pots. The geranium is not ’ easy to surpass; espcially in the] new luminous pink tones. The double yellow nasturium is fine; ageratuni of one of the special pot strains, grown from cuttings, gives a delightful lavender foil for yellow. Several types of marigolds make compact pot plants covered with blossoms. Lobelias are delightful in large pots, especially the i trailing varieties. But pot gardens need not be lim-! ited to garden flowers. Decorative I fruits, or the roots. Sulphur deficiency caused the leaves to become very thick and j firm, and the whole plant took on a pale green color with the under 'sides of the veins turning purple. An evcess of sulphur caused a rough plinpling of the leaves and an inward curling trfe same as with an excess of nitrogen. These experiments, while conducted in controlled culture media, show that either a deficiency or an excess of any of the elements required in plant nutrition will cause an abnormal growth or the- death of the plants. In other words, the plant requirements tor the various elements lie within certain rather narrow bounds and this will explain many causes where crops of tomatoes have tailed to produce in a satisfiactory manner, the federal experimenters say. o Horse Pulling At Celina On June 14 Bellefontaine, Ohio — June 1— j Announcement was made today by Ray Hennesey, Sec'y. of the I Florsf' Bulling Association of Ohio.

CODLING MOTH RECORDS ARE . LISTED HERE State Department Lists Codling Moth Emergence Records Through the cooperation of several fruit growers the state department of entomology has obtained I codling moth emergence records I from five representative orchards in the northern half of the State. ] The following record to date, takj en from 25 bait traps in each case. ; are as follows: The first column is the specific 1 date in May, the other columns, in rotation, the various orchards: Purdue (Lafayette), Doud. (Denver); Leighty (St. Joe); Mathews (LaPorte); Judson (Bristol). 16 3 1 ! 17 13 18 10 4 3 19 0 0 0 3 j2O 0 TT 0 3 21 1 0 1 5 1 22 3 8 20 16 23 4 12 112 51 24 12 11 111 I) 11 25 6 9 111 14 126 8 9 8 Figures above refer to numbers of moths caught each day. According to previous studies, eggs are laid soon after the moths emerge when the temperature at | sundown reaches 60 degrees to 62 i degrees F. These first eggs hatch i l in 10 to 15 days depending on : temperature. The peak of egg hatching is usually ten days to two I weeks after the first eggs hatch, although this may be a shorter or longer time, depending on weather conditions. . From these facts and the data i obtained from, baif traps, the department conclude that the first eggs will be hatching about May 28-30 and therefore the first cover spray should be applied by the present week-end (May 30). An- ' other spray is desirable just before the peak of hatching which will probably be June 8-12. Two addii tional cover sprays about 10-day I intervals will be desirable in many cases’. Further information will be provided as developments warrant. The above dates refer especially 'to the northern fourth of tfie state. Fot the two or three tiers lof counties below the northern ' fourth of the state, the correct dates may be One to three days earlier and the. grower must govern his dates to his own conditions. If chemically treated bands are to be used, they should be on the trees by June 10. It should be remembered that these bands are of little value unless all of file loose bark hast been scraped off. The use of bands and special attention to heavy spraying in the vicinity of packing sheds and cider miTis are recommended. Thinning during June and July, by removing and destroying Wormy apples is a good practice. I’nmplete retnovhl of fruit where tl>e set does not warrant spraying should be practical.

C., June 4. — i “Small speculators play a most im- '' portant part in the merchandising I of the nation's grain,” says a re- | port just published by the grain futures administration of the Unitled States department of agriculIture. According to the report—("Analysis of open commitments in wheat and corn futures on the Chicago Board of trade, September 29. 1934" —nearly one-half of the speci ulative long accounts in Chicago j wheat and corn futures on that | date were held by speculators with . less than 5,000 bushels each and i more than 90 per cent of all trad|ers with speculative long accounts lin either grain had less than 25,000 bushels each. Nearly 600 occupations and occupational subdivisions were represented among the 18,364 traders in the Chicago futures market at the time of the survey, the list of vocations runn 1 n g alphabetically from abstractor to yeast maker. ; Farmers ranked first in point of nurber, 1,492 having wheat futures 1 accounts and 1,047 corn futures, i Housewives were second with 802 wheat and 496 corn accounts. Every state in the Union. Can ada, Europe, and the Orient were represented by traders in the Chicago futures market. Chinn rank ed first and Canada second in point of number of foreign accounts. Eighty-eight per cent of all wheat accounts and 89 per cent of all corn accounts were speculative. Speculators were predominantly (long and hedgers predominantly short, approximately three-fourths of all long contracts in both wheat and corn being held by speculators with approximately four-fifths of all i short accounts held by hedger'.
