In one test 15 tons of manure
applied to the firSt crop in a four-
year rotation increased value of
yields in that period by $A0 for
each ton of manure applied. Crop
values were based on tees follow-
ing prices; mangels at "111.93 per
ton; oats at 49 cants a bushel;
hay at 9111,00 per ton.
While soil scientists are not all
agreed upon the proper time and
method of applying manure. one
point bas been definitely este-
Wished: that manure should not
be piled or stored where the
liquid part can chain away and
be lost and that the maximum
fertilizin" and soil improvement
value can- be obtained by apply
keg manure direct from the
stable,
Losses when handling manure
may be reduced by the use of a
specially formulated "table su•
perphosphate marketed under a
trade name, Since barnyard man-
ure contains very little phos-
phorus, this material adds vale
able phosphoric acid which gives
the manure a more balanced
plant food content: It also al.,-
sorbs and holds ammonia nitro-
gen.. which tends to escape as a
gas while mamire is still in the
stable, and helps to retain the
potash in liquid manure.

Over -grazing of grasslai'1ds was
one of the main causes far the
declhne of ancient civilizations,
delegates to the recent haterna-
tional Grassland Congress were
told.
• Speakers from many parts of
the world stressed that acreage
devoted to farm crops was be-
coming alarmingly low and it
was imperative --to conserve soil
and make it - more productive.
Through grassland farming, feed
and food supplies can be made
more adequate and nutritious.
labor on farms can be reduced
and agriculture can be. made
more stable and more capable
of serving the needs of the
world's increasing population.
Grasses and legumes, if pro-
perly managed and fertilized,
are important soil -conserving
crops which make grassland
farming of direct value to our
agriculture and civilization.

Protect Your Roof
With "Large Ladies"
The best lames in Britain are
still being roofed the old-fash-
ioned way with slate, the natural
material that defies moisture,
flame and age. And slate is still
being prepared in the old-fash-
ioned way. almost entirely by
hand.
Blaenau Pes:iniog, in Merion-
ethshire, Wales, is the heart of
the greatest slaro-producing cen-
tre in the world. The slate -

Holing and Splitting
- Superiority of Welsh slate is
due to the ease with which it
can be split ev:nh.
After a slate block, which may
weigh several tons has been
"holed" at a few strategic points
with a pneumatic chill, a few
sharp blows w'th a mallet will
cause it to split into smaller
pieces. A worl,et then selects

It was touchecd oft by the ini-
tial flat announcement by the
Earl Marshal's coronation head-
quarters in llelgrove Square
that the actual rites of the caro

next June 2-ivoukl not be tele-
vised.

has reconsidered, and there is

counted mullions throughout the

committee considered the sup-
reme religious moment at the
coronation --the annointing, or
consecration of the Queen --too
sacred to be either filmed or tele-
vised.
Well-informed Minus who
sympathized with the decision
thought TV would be an added
ordeal for the young Queen her-
self in a ceremony which, even
if shorter than the customary
two and a half to three hours,
will nevertheless be a severe
strain on her physicist and nerv-
ous energy.

days of TV, never could have
hoped to view the ceremony,
have bought or had planned to
buy a television set for this mo-
mentous aroasion.. An estimated
10 million in Great Britain own
sets now; it's figured the number'
might well be doubled by June 2.
The liberal Manchester Guar-
dian. joined the cry in an edi-
torial which suggested that
"given a reverent, approach and
sensitiveness to the personal
feelings of the Queen, it should
be possible to 'present the coro-
nation to the world as one of the
most deeply moving of specta-
cles."
Those who did not think the
ban. is too drastic fund the deci-
sion an essentially human one.
Television, they point out,
magnifies the slightest slip-up
which destroys the solemnity of
the event. Every woman will

instinctively feminine gesture of
powdering hey nose or using a
handkerchief during any part of
the long ceremony.
She will have to preserve tier
