Increased yields havo been obtained by their use but seldom is this great enough to pay the cost of tho fertilizer and the labor in applying it. In almost every caso, howtiver, the use of manure has proven profitable and in most cases this is about all that the soil needs. Tho productivity of the land can often bo greatly increased nnd sometimes doubled and even trebled by tho use of legumes such as sweet clover, al falfa or red clover. These crops will not only add nitrogen to tho soil but they also improve its physical condi tion. Tho roots of these plnnts pene trato the soil to a considerable depth, bring plant food nearer tho surface and when they .decay leave tho soil in a more open and porous condition. This increases its water holding cap acity and also the rato of absorption of tho rains. In this way there is less run-off, the soil is not washed as badly and more water is stored up for tho crops.

As it was tho end of the first month Un i)1tr A system of highways that will orvo tho whole coutry and will be far superior to nny other In the world is being mapped out by Federal nnd stnto enginers. It Is estimated that tho system will comprise 180,000 miles of road. Tho Federal highway act re cently enacted specificnlly requires that all Federal aid bo spent in n con nected Bystcni of hlghwnys consisting of not moro than 7 of the road mile age in each State, and that this system shall consist of interstnto or primary roads nnd intercounty or secondnry roads. Proposed sytems have been received by tho Bureau of Public Roads of tho United States Department of Agricul ture from all but eight states. They are plotted on a large map of tho Uni ted States and carefully examined as to co-ordination with tho roads of adjacent Stntos and servlco to nil sec tions of tho country. Where co-ordination Is not satisfactory conferences are held with all interested State high way officials and routes ndjustcd. Many States havo already adjusted difficult problems with their neighbors. As an example the system sent in by Nebraska showed a big gap in an important road along tho northern boundary. It was learned however thnt South Dakota would follow with n system that would fit like pictures on toy blocks. Since tho Federal High way act of last November became a law, only roads certain to be on the system havo been approved tor con struction. - :o: Brunswick phonographs. Ilolley Music House.
