produced on forage alone, every pound
of which is shipped to England at
high prices.
1t is apparent to every man who has
made study of the question that
there is a wide difference in the feed
ing and care of stock in the south, as
compared with that of the north and
the west.
In many sections of the south cattle
are fattened for market without shell
ter during any period of the year, and
in some favored spots they are fed no
grain whatever The raising of blood
ed stock is also becoming one of the
chief industries of the south.
The south is now taking more lively
| interest in the production of alfalfa
than any other single section OF the
country. Alabama has an alfalfa club,
an association of high-class farmers,
who several years ago began the study
of the value of this plant to the south
and whose efforts to develop 1t nave
resulted in widespread benefit to that
section.
This club grows alfalfa for profit
as well as education, and has declared
dividends of from so to 105 per cent.
Alfalfa in Mississippi yields as high
as four tons per acre the season, and
there are probably $4,000 acres of al
falfa in the black-belt of Mississippi
and Alabama alone,
Farmers of the south are learning
how to fatten hogs on alfalfa and COW
peas, making pork as fine as is ever
seen in our northern markets and at
less cost than it can be produced in
many of the northern and western Sec
tons.
Alfalfa takes kindly TO the lime
lands of Virginia and the farmers of
that state are going into it extensive
Nv. ]. F. Jack, a progressive Virginia
planter, began improving his rather
moor soil several years ago with Grim
son clover and cowpeas, later planting
it to alfalfa. He now has 400 acres of
alfalfa. which average six tons per
acre; and much of it furnishes good
pasture during the winter months.

Use OF LIME ON THE FARM.

The Misunderstanding OF the true
relation of lime to soil fertility and
crop production has often brought the
practice OF lining into undeserted III
repute. The truth Is that lime. instead
OF being only a soil stimulant (bene-
fetal at first but exhaustive), is
quite the opposite.
Lime is a soil constituent in two
respects--as plant food and as neu-
tralizer OF acids. Free acid is detri-
mental to the growth OF beneficial bac-
terra; hence the importance OF having
lime enough in the soil to neutraiise
all acids as fast as they are formed
by the decay of vegetable or mineral
matter OF sour soils. There are two
classes Of chemical compounds--acids
and bases-which have the power OF
neutraiizing the characteristic prop
critics of each other. When base and
an acid combine the former loses it's
power to combine with more acid.
Lime, therefore, which n already COM
bined with q strong acid. has no power
to neutralise soil acidity. To this class
belong land plaster or gypsum and
rock phosphate, valuable in their way
but not as correctives of sour soil. The
best compounds of lime for use In cor
recting soil acidity are ground lime
stone. mari and shells. Water slaked
ane auickline are used but these are
caustic In their nature and act in a
destructive way on organic matter in
the soil.
Lining has two principal effects on
soIi, both effective throueht the cor
recrection. OF soil acidity and promo
tion OF bacterial activity. The frat,
tho promotion Of the, growth OF le-
sumes, results In building up OF the
nitrogen and organic matter supply
OF the soil and is most desirable. Thia
one effect is sufficient to Justify the
use OF lime. In order to obtain these
beneficial results, however. the 10.
gumes must be planted-namely, Glow
DI1, peas, otducs NCtShCn SAAo otASAAN- =.
these are neglected the principal OBJ
1est Of liming-the Improvement oi
soil fertiiity-is defeated.
The second principal effect Of lime
is that of increasing the availability
OF the plant foods In the sol, esRe'
icaliy the nitrogen, and OF burning ou'
the organic matter In the soil. This
latter effect 10 destructive and ex
haustive, but within prescribed limits
defensible on the ground that pian'
food and organic matter In soiieare e
be used. II oyerdone to the extern

plants can use It. then IL becomes IN

The farmer should remember tina
these two opposing effects OF liminE

care be taken the bed will overcome
the good. TY be on the right sid'

The farmers of the South spend
most OF their two and half billions
(s2. 500, 900, o00) each year largely for
farm supplies, food. clothing, etc, and
one billion (s1.000,000,0oo of this

DESTROY FOREST
To MAKE FARMS
GOVERNMENT TO OPEN GREAT
AREA IN THE WEST TO
AGRICULTURE.

WASHINGTON. u. c.. March S.
The government is selling 26T. 900, 900
board feet OF timber in the Priest
Valley OF the Kaniksu National For
est. Idaho. This sale differs from most
of those made by the government in
handling its national forest timber
business Not merely the ripe tim
Der will be sold to make room for a
new crop. but on part of the area the
purchasers will be expected to take
everything in sight, after the time
honored fashion OF most numbering
that is done on private lands. In
short. the forest will be destroyed.
In the kaniksu sale part of the area
will be ciear-cut because the land Is
more valuable for agriculture than
for forests. Stump land in the same
neighborhood sells for as high as $40
or $50 an acre; sometimes even more.
While the present stand of timber on
the best land within the forest Ia, ac-
cording to the forest service, in gem
eral worth more than the land apart
from the timber. the annual returns
obtainable from farm crops make ag-
riculture the best form of use for this
land.
To open to homestead entry land
with from $4,000 TO $1,000 worth of
the case on many homestead areas
on the kaniksu, tends to put a prem
ium on it's entry by timber specuia-
tors. From the spectators they so
to lumber companies, and the lumber
companies may hold back agricul-
tural development either by keeping
the timber intact for long period,
or by cutting the land clean and then
holding 1t at price which the pros
pective homebuilder looking for cheap
land to develop cannot pay There
fore the government does not open
to entry heavily tfmbered agricultural
land on national forests until after the
timber has been cut off.
eminent will receive about $3.50. 200
for the timber, of which sum seas, 1000
will go to the benefit of the State for
public schools and good roads. and
the rest will be covered into the
treasury. All told. the yearly receipts
from the national forests have been
about $4,000. 0e0, of which timber
sales have contributed about half,
but the forest service reports that the
demand for government timber is now
increasing rapidly. Since July LIST
twice as much timber has been sold
as WAS sold in the entire preceding
twelve months, and while the timber
will be paid for only as 1t Is removed
during a term of years the forestry
officials expect to see the timber re-
ceipts mount up fast each year dur
ing the period immediately ahead.
