Itcures soil acidity and improves
mechanical and physical condition
of the soil; increases crop produc-
tion, giving life and vitality to the
growing plant; increases activity
and value of soil and commercial
plant food; makes possible the
growing of alfalfa and clover; per-
mits more economical rotations; is
especially beneficial to meadow
and pasture grasses, and makes
animal husbandry possible.
Ground limestone VS.. burnt lime
Ground limestone is much less
expensive than burnt lime; lower
freight rates; is more easily and
uniformly applied, and less de-
structive to vegetable matter of
soils. When applied in double the
quantity it is as effective, If not
more SO. 1t is not made ineffective
by beng rained upon. State and
United States authorities recon-
mend ground limestone.
The Tennessee agricultural eX-
pertinent station finds that no
large area in the State is well sup
piled with this important element.
In fact, the so-called "limestone"
soils seldom contain ] pound OF
lime in 100 pounds of soil. One
fifth of a pound per hundred would
be fair average. Much more
should be present,
The trouble is that this element
has been leached away by heavy
rains as we'll as removed by con-
stant cropping, so that it is greatly
needed. Numerous field expert
ments on various Tennessee soils
have shown that lime is necessity
to get satisfactory crops of clover
and grass and that the yields Of
both wheat and corn may be prof
itably increased by its use. Many
soils are sour. Lime corrects this
difficulty, sweetens the soil, an(
puts new life into it so that crops
such as alfalfa and clover, can b,

VALUE OF LIME
Fundamental in Building Soils and Producing Crops

raised that are impossible other
wise.
Limeing is being recommended
for most of the Eastern and South
ern States. In fact, the most pro-
gressive farmers are now either
supplying it or planning to do so.
The German farmers of Chester
and Lancaster counties, Pennsyl-
vania, where are the most valuable
farm land and the best farming in
America, have made this practice
for generations.
What kind of lime shall be used?
The answer to this question is
whatever is cheapest, Also ease
of application should be consider
ed. Ground limestone of about
the texture of coarse corn meal can
be had at about 81 Is per ton, and
it is undoubtedly preferable to
burnt lime at the same price. A
fair amount, it is claimed, is two
tons per acre. An application, L
am Informed, lasts about six years.
1t may be applied for any crop,
but the light rainfall of the fall
season makes that u favorable time
to apply it; also the roads is anoth-
er consideration in favor Of the fall
season.
An important reason for the
failure of farmers to lime their
land in the past has been the ex-
tremely disagreeable task of apply
| ing the burnt lime. The fact that
fine ground limestone rock will an
swer every purpose has not gener-
ally been recognized until quite
recently. 1t is now receiving the
favorable verdict of both State and
National authorities, and with tho
aid of good distributor may be
put on the land in a most satisfae-
tory manner.
Yours truly.

Supreme Court Proceedings.

Few Supreme Court decisions OF
recent years are of as vital import
ance to the country as that recent
Iy announced by Justice Lurton,
declaring the "Carmack amend
ment" to the Hepburn rate law to
be constitutional.
The amendment makes the ini-
tial carrier liable for loss to ship
ments while in transit, not only on
it's own, lines, but on those of con-
Meeting carriers.
And now, though the SHOWS of
two winters have whitened his
bloody grave, he has won for the
people another victory, the good ef-
fects of which will reach the entire
public, for every shipper, be he
rich or poor, has Carmack to thank
that the initial carriers can be held
responsible for all damages done
his goods, no matter whether such
damage was done by initial carrier
or by connecting one.-Jackson

TALK TO FARnERS
Who Are vitality Affected by Condition of Our Roads
40 the Farmers of Tennessee:

There is no class in the State that
should be more interested on the
subject OF good roads than the far
mer-you are vitally affected. The
public road you must use to get
your products to market.
There is more than one million
dollars lost every year by the far
mers of this State caused directly
from bad roads. In fact one mil
lion dollars is a low estimate when
you consider the small loads you
haul, loss Of time, damage to your
teams and wagons, directly result
ing from the wretched condition
OF roads in many counties Of the
State.
Therefore, it is you, with the
laborer on your farm, from whom
we should expect solid support of
any tangible movement tending to
better the public road conditions.
Tue proposal to build a highway
xrom one end Of the State to the
other on the cooperative all-pull-
together plan as has been explain
ed from the press from time to
slime is meeting with the approval
of thousands of our best citizens.
In fact we have not learned of any
one refusing to join in to help
along this movement. The farmer
should feel honored and should ap-
preciate the fact that the town peo-
pie are subscribing money to be
used in buying material to be used
on the highway and in addition
they are coming out to help work
on the road. Men of all vocations
are Joining in the movement.
We want to request every farmer
who reads this article to write tc
the United States Department OF
Agriculture, Washington, d. G.
and ask the department to mail te
you Farmers Bulletin No. 32l,
which explains how to make ano
use the "split-log drag We vii
ask that you attend to this at once
because we want you to cut th'
log to make this drag before thu
SAP rises in the timber. Take th
bark off the log and proceed tH
make the drag as per the instruc
tions named in the bulletin. W.
want at least five hundred farmer
to comply with this request. Thl
especially lyapplies to the farmerwh
resides in county where the sol
is chiefly composed of clay, sand o
loam or where there is no grave
orstone. In constructing the dra
we would suggest that if you hav
no two inch auger, to use sue
as YOU have and then use chlse
to make the hole for the conneo
tions. We must insist that 20
comply with this request, becaus
this is not only cheap tool to us
on the road, but is one of great IN
portance in completing and malr
tanning a graded road bed wher
you have no gravel or stone.
If you will but follow instru'
tions given you in the press and pr
vete bulletins that we will 1ssu
from time to time, we can assul
YOU that it will not be many montE
before you will have some bette
roads that will not cost any on
much to build and can be mail
tanned at a very small annual cos
instructions will be issued late
as TO the use of this drag as will al
x,lv TO different soils and location
We are sure of the hearty co-ol
Grafton of the farmer.
