Company and the county court as to where the road around the rock point this side of Shell Rock will be located. This was the only point of dispute between the railroad and the county. tiovernor West was at first Inclin ed to Insist that the railroad move Its tracks towards the river suhV lently to permit the road to pass be tween the tracks and the rock on the same grade. At the meeting here last week Chief Engineer (Jeorge W. 15osclike and At torney Wilson, counsel for the rail road were present. They were met by County Judge Culbertson. I ounty Commissioners McCnrdy and Khoades, County Surveyor Murray Kay, IVputy District ttorney John Baker and W. E. King of the special committee appointed by the Com mercial Club. Mr. Boschke showed that the Col umbia River at a point dfrectly north of the tracks at that point Is 123 feet deep and that a fill could not be constructed. He stated that the railroad would grant a right of way around the rock at a point ten feet above the railroad tracks. After due deliberation the county court agreed to this arrangement as U'lng the test that could lie expected under the circumstances. It Is be lieved that It will be satisfactory to Governor West, although It will mean an expense of about $2."H) to build the road around this dllticult point. Regular Sunday excursion to Paik dale.

The work of the I'edral Bureau of Soils under this head Includes a careful classltlcatloa under Held conditions of all the soils In a given area, the materials lielng studied to a depth of six feet. They are separated and classified after a careful study of the surface soils and subsoils to deter mine their physical properties and their adaptation to crops to which climatic conditions of the region sur veyed are favorable. F.acu type of soil Is fully described In a report and the location and exteut of the soil areshowu on a map printed In col ors. The physical properties, origin suitability for agriculture, range of crops for which it may le used, and the cultural methods under which the most profitable returns can lie secured, are fully set forth. Such Im portant facts as the quantity and kinds of Injurious alkali salts which may be present, drainage conditions aud Irrigation problems are carefully Investigated and recommendations made whereby advantage may be taken of the favorable conditions and the unfavorable may be ovei come. Areas of alkali land are out lined In a map and suggestions given for their reclamation. The classification of the soils of a state Is an essential preliminary step In the establishing of seed testing and plant breeding stations, enabling experimenters to give definite and accurate Information regarding crop production on the various types through the state. The Information made available by soil survey work eliminates the possibility of locating such breeding stations on local soil types not representative of the main agricultural lauds of the state and of securing results which can uot be applied with assured success. Careful inquiry conducted by the Pureau ol Soils has clearly demon strated that certain soil types are best adapted to particular crops orse rles of crops and that such crops reach greatest perfection In that particular soil environment. The planting of these crops on soils differing from their accustomed habitat requires a readjustment of the fuuctlons of plant growth to meet the new envi ronment and frequently results In so checking their growth as to cause either a partial or total failure of the crop. APPLE BREVITIES FROMEXCHANGES An effort was made during the past summer by the Missouri State board of Horticulture to co-oerate with t lie apple growers of the state In the disposal of their crop. Many of those who have orchards are not well situ ated for getting In touch wfth the markets, and are In Isolated places where npple buyers do not easily reach them. Much Variability There Is much variability In the chemical composition of arsenate of lead, as was previously shown. How ever, in the proportions used in spray ing there Is always enough arsenate present to poison the delicate, newly hatched worm. It Is the physical condition, the flocculenee, the ability to stay In suspension, that counts most In selecting a brand of lead. Arsenate that has dried out Is less flocculent and, therefore Is less valu able s a codling moth spray, al though its arsenic content remains the same as liefore. The most effect ive strength of arsenateof lead seems to be one pound to fifty gallons. Tills st rengt h lias proved satisfactory In practice In the orchards where It has iM-eti used. Apple Holdings Reported Apple holdings In the I 'lilted States are estimated at this time to be In round numbers .'dH),0W barrels and 4H,00 to 4."0,(KK) boxes. Last year at this time stocks were about 100,000 tarrels and Sil.OOO boxes. Considerable complaint Is heard on account of the fruit not keeping well but the same trouble has been ex perienced right through the season. It Is thought that the hot dry sum mer of 1!)11 In some of the apple pro ducing sections kept the fruit from developing keeping qualities anil on this account large quantities of np ples have Ikti lost.
