MORE FEDERAL Co OPERATION
FOR THE A. c. SOIL PLANT AND
ANIMAL SURVEY HAS BEEN sE-
CURED BY DR.. sELL-REPoRT
JUST RECEIVED.

1t has developed the last week that
further federal aid has been AFFORDED
the North Dakota A. C. geological
survey, in this case by the u. S. bio
logical survey. Large credit Is due
the interest and activity of DR.. Bell
for securing this aid and making 1t
possible to start work along the line
of the economic value of the animal
life of North Dakota, State code out
lines this work as a part of the state
economic geological and soil survey
and, while plants have been studied
no survey of animals has been made
because of lack of funds.
DIR. Bell has just completed negotia-
lions with the United States geologi-
cal survey, the United States fish COM
mission and the Smithsonian institute
for carrying on research work from
the college this summer season.
DR.. Bell has worked for the United
States fish commission at Woods Hole
in Massachusetts and has also occupied
a position at the research table for
the Smithsonian institute at Naples,
Italy and the work to be carried on
this summer will be along lines with
which he is acquainted.
The work of the biological survey
will be carried on in connection with
the department of biology Of the state
university, and will cover a study and
report of the birds and animals Of
the state. a discussion of life zones and
crop zones, together with the economic
value in the relation of the birds and
manuals to the state.
The work for the United States fish
commission will consist of a study
of the food fish of the state and the
school is to cooperate with the Smith
sonian institute in the study of the
moluscks of the state.
The arrangements thus made will
bring into cooperation the five sep
arate surveys that are to be made
in the state so that the work can be
properly correlated and in that way
avoid duplication Of expense and USE
less expenditures of money.
The biennial report of the soil and
geological survey for the years 1909

LIME NOT HARMFUL TO SOIL
Idea That Injury 10 Done by ApplIca-
tlon 10 Utter AbsurdIty, Says
Indiana Bulletin.

The utter absurdity Of the idea that
the use Of a ton or two of limestone
per acre may seriously injure the soil,
says an Indiana bulletin, becomes at
once apparent when 1t Ia recalled that
limestone soils are world famous for
their fertility. and have been for gen.
erations. The real trouble with some
of the soils in our eastern states
which are said to have been. injured
by the use of lime is lack of organic
matter and nitrogen as much as any
thing else.
This lack of organic matter and
nitrogen IL traceable, In both cases,
mainly to poor rotations or none at
all, poor care of manure or the produc-
ton OF an insufficient amount, and
burning or selling straw and slower,
and the final results seem to have
been largely Independent OF the use
or nonuse of lime. This statement
must not be taken to mean that lime
never exerts an unfavorable effect, but
rather that good part of the unfa-
vorable effect general attributed
to 1t Is In reality due to poor methods
of farming
Lime Is simply made a convenient
excuse. a scapegoat. just as is COM
mercial fertilizer in certain sections,
and with no more reason.
