MOVEMENT STARTED FOR
NEW CHURCH IN KEOTA
Organization Effected and Plans for
Immediate Work on New Building

There will be great rejoicing through
out this section when it is known that
we are to have new church here in
keota.
Some of our estimable people have
long felt the lack of suitable building
for public worship as burden on their
hearts, and the great desire to overcome
this deficiency is shown in the steps that
are now being taken.
The idea of and expressed desire for a
new church bui, ling was again brought
to public notice last Sunday morning at
Sunday school by Mrs. F. S. Wolfe and
Mr.. L. A. Jackson. Rev. Markham
and others spoke briefly on the subject,
and the spiritual enthusiasm of the lead
ers was Immediately communicated to
the entire congregation.
A business meeting was called for
Rev. b. Markham was Chairman, and
the following organization of the NJ. E.
Church official board was effected:
Rev. D. Markham, president; D. W..
Schoonover, secretary; l.. A. Jackson,
treasurer. The following members are
the board of trustees: l.. A. jackson, d.
w. Schoonover, S. w. Fox, John Owens,
Jesse Savage, G.. o. Dodder, J. M.
Walker.
The owners of the town site have
agreed to donate ground for church,
and the official board will probably be
asked to select the location.
1t has been decided to erect building
24x40 feet, of cement blocks, but these
plans are subject to revision. Work
will be started on the foundation and
making the cement blocks as soon as a
deed for the lots is received.
The church will be known as The First
M. E. Chuch of Keota, but 1T is believed
the generous spirit of the official board
will prompt that body to sanction the
worship OF other denominations in the
building at any time it is not used by
their own denomination.

The best form of lime to use, ac-
cording to Professor Miller, is the
crushed limetsone, which is obtaina-
BILE at several places in Missouri. 1t
is very cheap to buy, if purchased in
carload lots, and it is more satisfac-
tory. There is no danger of applying
too much of it, as it can do no harm,
as can the caustic lime. 1t is easier
and cleaner to handle.
Special lime spreads are now made,
and some manure spreaders have spe
cial attachments for handling the
lime. One good. way is to put layer
of the LIME powder on top of each
load Of manure. spreading it as the
load is taken off. From half ton to
two tons per acre may be applied.
A large number of small sized crush
ers are also being made now, so that
the individual farmer may crush up
the rocks On his farm for sweetening
the soil. This roc: powder is also
good to use as an absorbent in dairy
barns, tc be spread in the field after

is soluble in water. II this method is
not practicable, tn. next best, as
found by experiments, is to feed in an
open shed. if feeding cattle. and allow
the manure to be thoroughly tramped
on the ground. Whenever the manure
IS lying open in the rain, it is probably
losing i great deal Of its value.
Heavy manuring and the applica-
ton OF lime are. according to the ex.
perts at the Missouri Experiment Sta
tion. the chief essentials to success
with alfalfa in Missouri. Alfalfa is a

at the beginning the plant is delicate.

particles, especially of clay, so that
it is more workable. 1t is not prac-
teal, however, to add sufficient
amount to cause this action. The 9TH
er function of lime in the soil is to
ncutraiLe the acidity which so often
NistS, thus making a more favorable
place fer plants to grow. Very few
plants grow well in an acid soil, and
clovers or alfalfa or cowpeas will
scarcely grow at all.
Acidity in the soil is caused by
long cultivation, wctness caused from
imperfect drainage, and sometimes
from a great excess of vegetable mat
ter added. Lands that are classed as
worn OUT especially need lime. The
indications of sourlless are the pres
ence of smartweed, sorrel, and some
other plants. The test with blue lit
mus paper is sometimes advised, but
it is not very accurate and is hardly
so practical as observing the plant
growth. The test consists of pressing
a small piece of blue litmus paper
between two pieces of moist soil. If
a pink color is produced, the soil is
acid. This is only very rough test.
Lime takes away the sourness by
neutralizing the acid. There is an

BY carefully spreading all the ma

it he must plow under green crops.
