THE USE OF
fertilizer LIME
{ Popular Bulletin No. l9. }
By r. w. THATCHER, Chemist.

The use of commercial fertilizers on
the soils of Washington is fortunately
in it's infancy. Most of the soils of this
state have been so recently brought
under cultivation that the virign store
of fertility has not yet been depleted
even by the wasteful practices which
are often followed. But there are
many soils in Western Washington
and a few in that part of the state
lying east of the Cascade Mountains
which would be benefited by an ap-
plication of fertilizer lime. The ex-
cessive rainfall in many parts Of West
ern Washington has Ieached out of
the soil the greater proportion of the
lime originally present it it. There
are also many low lands, or poorly
drained areas, in which there has
been an accumulation of organic acids
produced by the decay of vegetation
resulting in what is commonly called
''sour" land. The same conditions
exist in certain localities in Eastern
Washington but to much less extent.
The forms of lime which may profit
ably be used as a fertilizer vary with

BEN NEFlClAL EFFECTS OF LIME
ON SOILS
AS a plant food itself, lime is essen
tial to all forms of plant growth. The
amount of lime required as plant
food by most of the common farm
crops is small and most soils contain
sufficient amounts of lime for this
purpose. However, the legumes, or
cover crops of all kinds, require fully
as large amounts per acre of lime as
they do of the other elements of plant
food which are commonly used as fer
tilizers and the yield of these crops
on soils containing small amounts of
lime may often be improved by the
addition of available lime.

The last and best piece was
the comic piece, Der Haus-
schluessel, oder Kalt Gestallt
This piece was funny from start
to finish and caused much laugh
ter and applause. Mr.. Messer
as Herr Heinshon, was in his
best vein and was droll and anus
ing at all times. Mr.. A. G.
Lichey as Paul Mohrmann. gave
an excellent performance as he
always does. Mesdames Thule
meyer and Messer as the wives
of these two erring husbands
were bother clever in their i'm
presentations and gave eminent
satisfaction.
The receipts footed up to S165.
A grand ball was given after the
performance which lasted until
2 a. M, the music being fur
nished by the L. Rothbauer band,
