Lime as q Fertilizer.

AS the result OF various tests the
Ohio experiment station says:
Our experience with lime to the pres
ent time may be condensed into the
following statements:
Lime does not take the place Of fer
tilizers or manure, and the farmer who
is led to so use it will be disappointed.
Lime is Indispensable to the growth
of clover on some Ohio soils, bat be-
fore it can materially benefit the clio
yer it must be preceded by liberal ma
nuring or fertilizing with materials
carrying both phosphorus and potas-
SUM.
Lime may produce an increase of &C.
real crops on some soils, but only
when used in connection with judi
ciOus manuring or fertilizing.
We have as yet no reason to believe

Canada's "Circus Wort,ed Posters"
Reviewed by Secretary Coburn.
Apropos Of the tide of western farm
ers into Canada +. D. Coburn, secre-
tary Of the Kansas state board of agri-
culture, has prepared a statement well
worth the attention of those farmers
of Kansas and other states who are
turning longing eyes to the cheap Cana
dian lands. Secretary Coburn's COM
parsons with Canada are of his own
state alone, but much Of the statement
is quite applicable to other western
states. Among other items are the fol
lowing:
Kansas is a producer of some great
agricultural statistics, and they reveal
a degree of prosperity without parallel
They also tend to make competitors
uncomfortable and seem to suggest that
those who are already here would do
we'll to stay. For some time Canada
has been disseminating circus worded
circulars about the productivity of her
soils and their wondrous crops, especial
stress being given to her possibilities
as wheat raiser but official statistics,
recording what has actually been done,
show that the state of Kansas alone
in each Of the years 1900, 1901 and 1908
produced more wheat than did the
whole Dominion Of Canada, in the three
years aggregating 26S,S17,S16 bushels,
or more by nearly 100000 bushels,
or over II per cent, than the total pro-
duction of Canada for the same years.
And most any year any three or four
of the most eastern counties in the
northern tier yield more corn than is
grown annually in Canada.
OF course Canada is not without her
advantages, for possibly less than six
of the twelve months she furnishes ex-
cellent skating, sleighing and tobog-
gaming, and her dairymen have estab-'
lished a reputation for industry and
thrift. But the same energy and capt.
tai invested in Kansas, where climate
is milder, winter shorter and less ex-
pensive shelter necessary, would doubt
less bring greater returns, as Kansas
produces In abundance the best Of milk
making feeds, and markets are near
by.
There Is no likelihood Of Kansans be-
ing persuaded that their lot can be I'M
proved by moving away, but to dissat-
isfied farmers in other states and even
those who are subjects of king the
true story of Kansas agricultural pro-
duct1ons and possibilities as compared
to those Of Canada would seem like a
fairy tale.
Many authentic instances might be
cited where the value Of one seasons
crops In Kansas has more than met
the entire first cost Of the farm.
