Acid Soil in Southeastern Nebraska
Investigation of the causes of poor
stands of alfalfa has resulted in the
discovery of acid soil in several
southeastern Nebraska counties. One
of the surprising facts brought out
is that most of the acid soil is on
upland. Specialists who made the
investigations say that the lime has
leached out of the soil. Once this
land is seeded to alfalfa the acid con
dition reveals itself. The alfalfa is
spindling and much of it dies out
the first year. Experiments are now
being conducted to see what pulver
ized lime stone will do for acid oil
Farmers who have reasons to believe
they have acid soil may have an an
alysis made by sending a sample to
the farm bureau. This sample should
consist of about a iuart of soil taken
from six or seven places in the field.

executive council cf the American
Federation of Labor warned in its
annual report, which was completed
here today.
The council. In a lengthy declar
ation which will be presented to the
annual convention of the federation
in Denver, condemns the soviet gov
ernment as not being representative
of the Russian people and declares
it to be antagonistic to the union
labor movement. The report, it is
understood, criticises the socialist
party for its alleged suppotr of the
coninitinists ami other radical ele
ments in the country.

The council, it was learned, recom
mended the use of publicity to stop
profiteering and bring prices down
to a normal level.
The nonpartisan program of the
federation during the last year is de
clared to have been a success in the
report, which recommends that this
work be continued.
The membership report of the fed
eration, it is understood, will show
a large increase during the year of
1920, bringing the total membership
to near 4.500.000.
Mr. Gompers declined to discuss

the eminent surgeon, speaking here
recently.
"Smoke the same amount of to
bacco every day," said Sir James,
"and the heart will become accus

smokes less one day than another,
he feels" the effect as much as if he
had smoked more."
He said three days' abstinence from
smoking would entirely free the sys
