Berlin. June 24.--A. S. Burleson, .former. United States Postmaster >d|k General, who has returned to Berlin after investigating the commercial, industrial ahd financial conditions of Poland. Austria and Gzechoslvakia, is Of the opinion that there is little hope of selling Europe large quantities of cotton and other raw materials until Germany and other countries of Central Europe balance their budgets and make definite arrange. ments to discontinue the issuance of : paper money and to retire that currency until its volume is only three times, if at of their gold reserves. "I can't see ahy Indication that the statesmen of Central Europe are facing their problem frankly and trying fto formulate plans which get at the fundamental problems and might insure the resumption of the industries mad the renewal of the export trade," said Mr. Burleson. "It is not reasonable to talk about foreign loans to Central Europe as long as the printing presses continue to pour out pa per money without any gold guarantee or any prospect that it will be retired. -f "Germany is in far better condition , than the other countries of Central Europe, and I personally believe Germany would improve its exchange situation very speedily if it would stop issuing paper money and levy a tax over a period of ten years to guarantee its retirement ana the creation of a larger gold reserve. Foreign bankers want to see definite plans before they take a chance on the countries of Central Europe." COURSE IN NATURE STUDY Chicago, July 13.?Courses in nature study and physical geography have been introduced into the native Government High Schools of India to combat superstitions which tend to hinder the advancement of the people, according to information received by the beard of foreign missions of the Methodist Episcopal churth. These courses are to be instituted at onie in twenty high schools and are to be taught by native teachers specially trained in the scientific explanation of the phenomena of India. The Rev. Dr. L. A. Kenyon, acting principal of the Methodist mission industrial school at Allahabad on the Ganges, has been chosen to train these teachers. Hiq party has taken many extended tours aboilt India, notably to, the Himalaya Mountains .and to the Marble Rocks and NirbaaqjriPalls of .Central India, features of India which have been especially revered by the various native religions. This has been foun'd quite successful in breaking the hold of superstition on the native jmind in Che-Methodist mission Schools in India, of which there are 1,170 in addition to ?rml univernitiM. -.>>1 MT,: PUT . P A . g bagas should be plapted between the fifteenth of July and the fifteenth of August. In the eastern part of the atate 4he ?*feenth of August is not too late, bvrc in the central and western part it is better to 'plant the middle of July, suggest the horticulturists. First, thoroughly prepare the land br plowing "and harrowing until a pirfect seed bed has been formed. Apply the fertilizer broadcast < at the of 800 to 1000 pounds per acre. A fertilizer analyzing 8 percent phosphoric acid, 4 percent nitrogen, and 'A perceht potash will give good results on a sandy or sandy loam soil. In clayey loam soil it will not be necessary to have more than 1 to 11-2 percent potash. The fertilizer should be applied after the ground has been plowed and before harrowing. The main trouble in growing ruta bagas is in. securing a good stand during the hot summer months. Experience has shown that when the seed are planted . in furrows twc inches deep and covered by simply running a. wheel of an old wheel barrow or planter over the row this will mash them into the soil and cover them very slightly. Whep the seed germinate the roots will be neat the moist soil and will therefore stand drought well. If they are planted on the surface they will be slow about germinating, and frequently when they do germinate the young plants will die on account oi drought. It will require about a pound of seed to plant an acre, ir rows about three feet apart. After the plants have come up tc S good stand and have formed the - fourth leaf, they should be thinnec out to 10 or 12 inches apart in the row and cultivated clean, gradual!; working the soil towards the plants * TEe turnips will be ready for use about the first of November, bu1 f there is no necessity for harvesting them until the weather has turnee A?4- n V.
