Lime for Agricultural
Purposes
By A. ,. PATTEN. Espsrawssf
SAofion Chessfsf

Just AT this time great interest 10
being taken by farmers all over Mich
1san In the subject of lime for agri-
cultural purposes. The practice OF
using lime 10 almost as old a. agri-
culture itself. The Chinese were
probably the first to use lime on the
soil: 1t was also used by the Romans
and by them the practice was intro
duced into England and France. In
England the practice Of marling the
soil has been followed for centuries
and often with very marked results.
The nrst mention Of lime In connec-
ton with American agriculture IL
found In the contributions Of Rufin
IN the American Farmer, in 1878.

The Corn Crop.

The great American grain food
for men and stock upon the farm
is. corn. Corn, intelligently man
aged, will produce more food per
acre than any other cereal, and
it is generally one of the safest
Of crops, which is an important
item, because where men and ami
mails must be fed certainly of
production stands among the first
requisites. More corn brings into
use the pastures and idle lands
of the farm. It is the basis of a
cheaper food supply for the mas
ses. Therefore, the production of
an abundant supply of corn is
one of the essentials of good from
ing.
The Southern farmer should

s,Sle need of the farm, and he

thoroughly that with proper pre-
paration and cultivation he can
grow as much per acre as the best
farmers in the corn-growing
States. At prevailing prices it is
cheaper to produce it than to buy
it, even With IL and Is cent cot

mo Need to Shorten Ten
Commandments

Cincinnati Feb, 24.-The Rev.
DR.. Edward-Mack, professor of
Lane Theological Presbyterian
Seminary, said today regarding
the contemplated cutting Of three
of the Ten Commandments
"Both from a literary and legal
standpoint the, Ten Command
ments are sublime In their present
form and | don't see any need
for shortening them"
Protestant Episcopal Bishop
Boyd Vincent said:
II rather believe the PROPOSE
ton to shorten the Ten Command
ments is a provision to shorten the
service of the Chueh. In that
case it should be favored, as the
service could be shortened con-
siderably by simplifying the De-

an infinite number of hairlike
growths, which absorb moisture
and food. On soils properly pre-
pared and In sections of fair rain
fall the feeding ground for corn
is usually from 2 to IL inches be-
low the surface. This is strictly
true in the great corn belt Of the
Northwest I'm the South there
has been too much shallow plow-
ing. Breaking 3 or 4 inches is not
deep enough to make a suitable
feeding place for corn roots; on
average land it furnishes neither
sufficient food nor sufficient mois-
ture for the plant to do its best.
'Phe trouble with a shallow seed
bed is that it is too wet under
heavy rainfall and too dry in per-
iods of drought. To make It's larg-
est yield, corn requires not only
a deep seed bed but a large
amount of humus in the soil. Con-
equently most land requires some
previous preparation-the pillow
ing under of a green crop or the
use Of stable manure. The use of
these is better preparation than
to depend entirely upon COM
mercial fertilizers. The land
should also be well drained, be-
cause standing water is totally
unsuited to the deep, penetrat-
ing roots of corn. Observe the fol-
lowing rules:
~ Select a well-drained piece
Of land, filled with vegetable mat
ter.
2. Break, pillow IN the fall to
a depth of a foot or more, with
some implement that will not
bring too much of sub-soil to the
surface and thoroughly pulver-,
lie. If this is done early enough
put in a winter cover of rye, oats,
or barley, which should be turn
ed under in the spring.
3. Go over the land with a
section harrow twosor three times
before planting and repeat inn
mediately after planting and
again after the corn is up, using
the harrow at nearly right angles
with the rows.
4 Use the best seed, and es-
pecially such seed as has been
tested in the climate Of the field
to be planted.
5. Practice intensive, shallow
cultivation.
The disk pillow, the adjustable
section harrow, and the weeder
are valuable aids in producing
the corn crop.
In selecting the seed it is not
advisable that it should be select.
Nt

ing requires systematic rotation
of crops on all lands. From this
standpoint corn should be re-
garded as a renovating crop. 1t
is a plant of wide adaptability
and can be produced in nearly
all portions of the United States.
TT is especially valuable from the
fact that we not only get the
corn, but can grow with it a
heavy crop of cowpeas, which
will give a supply of nitrogen and
humus, two of the most valuable
items in building up soils.
Corn is a tropical plant, and
all other things being equal it
should thrive better in the South
crn than in the Northern States.
This, however, is not the case.
What is the reasong The main
cause is the lack Of suitable seed
beds in the South.
Experiments have shown that,
while it sends many Of its roots
3 or 4 feet deep, the corn plant
places the great body of it's feed
ing roots from 3 to u inches be-
low the surface where the soil
is made loose enough by plow-
ing or by frost to permit it. The
roots send out in every direction

ed from the crib or even from the
ordinary field, if the best results
are to. be obtained. There should
be a special plat for seed purposes
which must receive the best pre-
paration of the seed bed and the
best seed obtainable, with excel
lent cultivation and fertilization.
Then, before the pollen has ma
tured, all barren stalks and all
weak and diseased stalks should
be removed, leaving nothing but
strong, vigorous, well-eared stalks
in the field, because corn is ferti-
hzed from all surrounding plants.
Therefore, it is better to select
a medium ear from a field where
the average corn is excellent than
model ear from a field where
most of the corn is inferior. Much
depends also upon the vitality Of
the seed. To insure high vitality.
corn must be gathered before the
fall rains, put in a dry, well-ven-
tilated place, and kept free from
weevils. Corn is esneciaHv rosDop-

GIRL BUSY WITH A PISTOL
Shoots at Married Man, Misses,
Then Wounds Deputy Sheriff.

44Cu JULIUS
Chicago, Feb, 21.-Miss Anna
Pearson fired two shots today at
Charles w. Smith, employed In
the Board of -Assessors' office on
the twelfth floor of the County
Building. When she saw she had
failed to wound him she ran into
an adjoining Office, waved her re-
volver and threatened to shoot
anyone who followed her.
Two deputy sheriffs ran up
from the eleventh floor and Crap
pied with Mrs. Pearson. They
arrested her only after she had
emptied her revolver, shooting off
one of Deputy Otto Gnewich' s
fingers with a bullet that also en-
tered his head.
Miss Pearson said she had ac-
cepted attentions from Smith and
had decided to shoot him after
she had learned that he was mar
ried.

There is q rule prohibiting this prac-

ised to use drastic measures to put q
