ing to the wet weather. than Is usually sown in this part of the country Most of the fields show the stands to be poor yet the heads of wheat are full, plump and will be of unusually good quality. In this section of Missouri, the wheat is now ready for harvest and most of the southwest Missouri crop will be in the shock before June %. There has been but little damage to wheat by storms or hail in Missouri so far.
 After leaving St. Louis, and as I passed the wheat fields, for more than three hundred miles in the state. I rated the yields at four. six, eight, ten and twelve bushels per acre, with now and then a field that may make twenty bushels per acre, though the twelve bushel fields were few and far between. We are to have a short wheat yield this season.
 The oat crop through this section is practically worthless and 1t Is we'll that farmers could get but small acreage sown. The early potato crop Is very short in acreage, though what is in sight promises good yield All through this section of Missouri there is fine crop of fruit, apples, peaches, plums and cher ries, while great crop of strawberries has just been gathered and sold. The returns from the strawberry crop was very satisfactory this season in Missouri.
 In Kansas.
 Early Saturday morning, June 9. I cross ed the Missouri line into Kansas, mak- ing a day run of nearly three hundred miles, Here I found conditions some what better than they were in Missouri though far from encouraging. The corn crop Is spotted, poor stands and late with many acres not yet planted and no pros pect that they will be this season. Some sections have had too much rain and hail has fallen in some places which damaged wheat more than corn. as the corn was small. The wheat crop will average a little better perhaps in Kan sas than It does in Missouri and the oat crop here in Kansas is better than in Missouri. However. taking the matter up- on the whole, there Is not much difference in crop prospects In the two states

to grass, or have become hard and stiff because their humus has been used up and destroyed by continual cultivation frequently show marvellous results from a moderate use of quieklime.
 Lime shows its power in affecting the soil properties which constitute fertility; in changing soil texture to the extent that sandy soils are improved and heavy clays are made open and crumbly; In releasing potassium and making it avail able for use of plants. Nitrification Is helped organic matter Is decomposed and the soil Is sweetened Surely a number of good deeds it does, and with lasting effect.
 Does your soil look sad and sickly? If so 1t may need lime. Does your soil fail to produce vigorous growth and. good color in the plants 1t grows? If so, 1t probaby needs lime. Does your soil show acldity when tested? IT so, 1t truly needs lime.
 Get a penny's worth of blue litmus pa per at your drug store Take from the field a handful of wet earth that looks suspicious insert your knife blade. and In the opening put strip or blue lltmus paper. and press the soil tightly about it. If sour, in a few hours the paper ~lll become reddish fin color and you may know that lime Is needed to correct the acidty. for most of our plants do but poorly in acid soils.
 '1How shall we apply lime?''
 A common way that is practicable and inexpensive Is to place ten or twenty bushels on an acre In heaps of two or three bushels. covering with soil or old sacks until the lime falls apart and be- comes thoroughly slacked. This done, you should spread evenly over the soil and harrow in.
 Too constant use of lime is undesirable. An application once in four or five years is sufficient. Try lining this year If only in a small way It may be the medi' cine you want.
