A crop of 40,997,000 bushels
soybeans was produced in 1937,
according to
estimates. The total may
substantially larger when final
figures have been assembled. The
crop moved at gratifying prices.
Farmers are finding the raising
of this cash crop highly profitable,
and a real aid in the solution of
their problems.
Writing in a leading feed pub-
lication, Ersel Walley,
soybean authority, says

idiana and western Ohio
second only to the banner state
of Illinois in the production of
soybeans for marketing Iowa is
expanding its acreage.
“Establishment of soybean mills
has made this increased acreage
possible,” he says “We note
among our farmers an intellingent
appreciation of the value of the
soybean products of these mills,”
he continues, adding that a grow-
ing number of farm owners now
specify paint for their buldings
containing a fair percentage of
soybean oil, which “adds desired
plasticty and durability
“Soybean oil meal has estb-1
fished itself as a superior protein
supplement. Wherever used it
seems to fully replace other meals I
that has formerly been the stand-
bys of our feeders. Many farmers
feel that it is superior in results.” [

ing demand for this product in the ;

Cripple Creek district in Colorado,
whence about 375 million dollars |
in the yellow metal has been taken
since its discovery in 1890. This
extinct volcano which blew up
about 25 million years ago, after
which the deposits of gold are oc-
curred.
Another gold field in Colorado’s
San Juan mountains, is attributed
to the eruption of the great Sil-
verton volcano about the same
time, and from this field some 270
million dollars worth of ore has
been taken. When this crater fi-
nally settled down it formed a
broad low dome covering an area
of more than 1,000 square miles.
The diamond mines of Arkan-
sas, the only ones so far discov-
ered in America, are of volcanic
origin. Important oil pools in
Texas and other parts of the gulf
coastal plain have been discovered
during the last 25 years in cones
of volcanoes which erupted some
80 million years ago.
Careful studies of these volcanic
formations have aided geologists
in their search for mineral wealth
and doubtless many more impor-
tant discoveries will be made from
time to time. t

Lady dancers and others who
disport themselves for motion pic-
ture fans cost the studios around
a quarter of a million dollars each
year for stockings alone, accord-
ing to an article in the Chicago
Daily News, which says the av-
erage life of a pair of hose for a
dancer is three wearings.
< The average cost of a pair of
stockings for a member of
chorus is about $4.50, but for
stars the cost runs as high as
a pair.
One of the most expensive stars
to keep in hose is Eleanor Powell,
who sometimes ruins as many as
six pairs costing $15 a pair in a
single day. Diminutive Lily Pons
used up 120 pairs costing $20 a
pair' in one picture, which is proba-
bly a record.

hosiery bill is high, running- about
$500 for each picture in which she
appears. Her legs, by the way, are

travagance, especially to a mere
male, who gets along rather well

With considerable
provement work carried on in
South Texas under the 1937 pro-
gram. it is felt that a wider re-
sponse will be shown this year.
The department of engineering at
A. & I. is anxious to be of service
in connection with the conserva-
tion and use of water in this sec-
tion of Texas. Competent engi-
neering work is essential to most
projects available under the pro-
gram if full and permanent values
are to be obtained.
Main provisions under the pro-
gram are construction of dams to
create water storage in lakes and
reservoirs and terracing of pasture
land to conserve rainfall. All land-
owners recognize the value of ex-
tra moisture on pasture lands,
whether it comes from irrigation
or consedvation of rainfall. Al-
though the average rainfall is suf-
ficient to assure reasonably good
i range conditions of it were con-
latest government; served and distributed over the
prove land, it never is all available for
soil moisture as a large part falls
so rapidly that it flows off in the
creeks without a chance to seep
into the ground.
Heavy growths of grass and
shrubbery are much more success-
ful in conserving rainfall than is
cultivated land, even though it is
freshly plowed. The water nor-
mally wasted in run-off from land
could easily be held by terraces so
it would soak into the ground,
making a big difference in the con-
dition of the range during the dry
months that frequently are experi-
enced.
Where there is a broad draw on
pasture land down which
flows in shallow quantities,
foy urges the construction
version dams to raise the
level and to force it out onto a
system of terraces which should
have a slight slope in order to as-
sure that water will flow. Con-
struction of dams to create lakes
and reservoirs for conserving wa-
ter is another valuable project per-
mitted under the program. As
on other projects, the dams should
be designed carefully and built
only after a survey has been made'
to determine the area of the water
shed, the rate of flow of the water
| course and the most desirable site
;for the structure. Earthen diims
have been found to be entirely safe
when properly built.
Peurifoy lists some of the con-
tributions such dams make to a
