They Have Profted by Getting
Sacks There.

L. c. Grow, president of the Farm

farmers have profited by the expert
.ence of the last season, when many
locals failed to order their grain sacks
through the organization, when they
could have purchased for approximate
ly cents, later paying several cents
more for them.
Meetings of the locals throughout
eastern Washington have been held
recently to estimate the number of
sacks tae members of each local will
use and to elect Representatives to the
tri-state convention in Walla Walla
November 7. At that time an esti-
mate will be reached as to the num-
Der of sacks that will be used by the
union farmers in the three states in
the nization-Oregon, Washington
and Idaho-and arrangements will be
made for Mr.. Nelson, who has been in
charge of the organizations terminal
warehouse on the coast, to make a
trip to Calcutta to arrange for the
direct purchase of the sack supply.

Successful Cultivation.

Successful cultivation demands two
things, good mechanical condition Of
the soil and proper richness. Never
dig fresh manure into the soil just be-
fore planting. If you have none which
is we'll rotted and cannot get any.
spread the fresh material thinly on top
Of the ground, between rows and
plants and allow the rains to wash 1t
in gradually. If the soil has been cul-
tivated before and has plenty of de-
cayed vegetable matter in It, excellent
results can be obtained from artificial
fertilizers. Bone meal is good, but is
not complete fertilizer. Wood ashes
should be used with caution, as the
large amount of lime they contain may
do mischief. The best is what is
known as complete fertilizer. and
should always be used carefully and
exactly according to directions from
the man you buy 1t Of. Sheep manure
is an excellent fertilizer.

WHAT KIND OF LIME TO BUY
Difficult to Answer Question to Suit
Needs Of Each IndivlduaI-Brlef
Summary Given.

A bulletin issued by the Massachu-
sets experiment station on the use OF
lime in farming. says 1t Is difficult to
answer the question as to what kind
of lime to buy to suit the needs OF
each individual; but in general the
following brief statement may be
made:
1. Quick and hydrated lines are
best suited to heavy clay soils. when
1t is desired to improve their mechan-
ical condition.
2. Carbonates in the form Of finely
ground limestone or mari work quite
satisfactorily on light loans.
g. Lime containing large percent
ages Of magnesia should not be ap-
piled to soils deficient in carbonate OF
lime
4. Calcium of oxide costs the least
In the form Of quick or freshly burned
lime but is quite disagreeable to
spread.
5. Slaked or hydrated lime can
be spread with less discomfort than
quicklime, but costs on an average 10
cents more per 100 pounds of calcium
oxide.
6. One hundred pounds Of calcium
oxide in the form of ground limestone
costs at least 10 cents more than a
like amount in the form Of mari or
slaked lime, and some rs cents more
than in the form of quicklime.
7. Lime Is an aid to good farming
but can not take the place Of fertiliz
ers, stable manure, thorough cultiva
ton and proper crop rotation.
