Owing to Paul's illness, his place as leader was taken by his father during the institute, and the regard of the people for the members of the orchestra was exemplified by the many inquiries concerning the youthful leader Owing to poor train connections. Clyde Hooley, the speaker for the morning, was unable to get to the in-1 stitute; and his place was taken by Frank Blackford, speaking on "The Improvement of Ohio Soils." He first look up physicai improvement through drainage and tillage and then the chemical improvement by adding the deficient elements. Explains System. Blackford took as his text, "The Permanent Fertility System," evolved by Prof. Cyril G. Hopkins of Illinois, and followed with the greatest success by Frank I. Mann of the same state. This system depends upon securing the costly elements of nitrogen from the air through the use of legumes which can easily be grown after the application of limestone, and the application of the other deficient and costliest element, phosphorus, in its cheapest form of raw rock phosphate. Mr. Blackford emphasized the uselessness of using the costly burned or hydrated lime, since, before the plants can use it the lime must go back to the original limestone form through the action of the air, and the raw lime.tone might as well be applied in the first place. BOSTON TOWNSHIP JOINS OTHER BODIES IN FERTILIZER POOL BOSTON, Ind., Jan. 27. Boston township swung into line with the rest of the county on the fertilizer pool when at the meeting in Bunker Hill schoolhouse Wednesday evening, the township association of farmers voted to buy through the state pool. At a meeting held several weeks ago the township decided to buy separately as a township instead of with the cour.ty and this caused some discussion and disappointment at the time among the other townships. It is stated now that that acion was due to lack of understanding as to the workings of the pool, as the plans had not been fully matured by the state office then, and information was scant and hazy on what plans were completed. Did Not Understand. "We did not understand then, it had not been stated." said Gwen Duke. I chairman of the township, "that we Would have any chance to say what ,i,i i t, been announced that the prices would De referred to us by the state office. which was not our understanding then." The purchasing committee which was appointed at the former meeting will handle the fertilizer when it arrives on a flat basis of 50 cents a ton, at the car, members to take their orders from thecar on the tracks.

The afternoon program had to be slightly changed from the original plan, and Blackford addressed the audience again on "Co-operation." The principal points of his speech were ex-

Blackford c mnuerg aou ineir uiuoais, auu uenuigiiDors Hooley Speaks. Blackford was followed by Hooley, who had arrived while he was speaking. The state speaker, who is a member of the state highway commission, explained the road laws, how appropriations are made and expended, and how the local roads could be benefited through them. Wednesday evening's program offered besides two numbers of music, another speech by Mr. Hooley on "The Farming Business Under Present Labor Conditions and its Future Prospects." He gave a resume of conditions as they were last spring, reviewed the big slump from which the farmer has suffered recently, and its secondary effect on city industries through curtailing the farmer's purchasing power. Stating that other products had not yet come down in proportion to the farmers "deflation," Hooley said that normalcy could not return until that was accomplished and farm and city prices on an equality.
