Peanuts and Lime.


From down in Nansemond comes n
letter from one of my kind friends who
likes To say pleasant things: II want
your advice because | have yet to make
my first mistake when / followed it,
or course It is gratifying to have peo-
pie write in this way, and l hope that
! VIII never lead any one into error
In their farming My friend says that
his farm is sandy upland, with clay
subsoil. He has two fields planted to
peanuts. One is after corn that was
grown on clover sod turned last
spring. j used on this land 500 pounds
OF FERTILIZER having 10 per cent phos-
phoric acid and 5 per cent potash for
the corn. broke this field with n
three horse disk pillow, prepared it we'll
and planted in rows three feet apart.
after applying 500 pounds Of fertilizer
'hat anaiyzed IL per cent phosphoric
acid ana IA per cent potash, planting
the white running variety Field No.
- also I'm corn last year, with 500
pounds of the same fertilizer as No. /.
ana applied 800 pounds an acre of "a
mixture IL per cent phosphoric acid
ana 10 per cent potash. Half of this
Is planted to the running peanuts and
half TO Vaiencias. This field had 500
pounds an acre Of lime in 1910. while
NO / has not been lined Now. the
point is will it pay to use plaster on
the peanut crops?"
s'"ec 'he pops or empty hulls in pea :
nuts are generally caused by de-
iiciency OF potash and phosphoric acid

you nave done the best possible thing
for tho crops. Plaster tho sulphate
or lime. acts simply by releasing in
soluble potash that may be In the soil,
ana you have supplied plenty of solu-
bic potash, and do not need the plaster.
The field that has not been lined re-
Gently may be helped by an application
OF lime to sweeten the soil, for pea
nuts. like clover, are legumes. and can
get nitrogen from the air. IL the bac

favorable condition in the soil. If tho
soil is acid. they cannot thrive. Rut
the application OF the sulphate of lime

the me-carbonate will and hence in
your case 1t would be useless.
Lime helps the peanut crops In tho
same way that plaster does, by relea g.
ing potash. but lime carbonate also
brings the soil into state in which
the bacteria will thrive on the roots
of the peanuts. and Will thus greatly
promote their growth. The plaster will

you have made. while the lime will
certainly be OF value. and I would uso
some on both fields.

AUSTIN. Tex, April 1s.-Gover-

closing law the civil bill. because
OF clerical errors that have crept
into the measure. also because ihc
governor says the comptroller has
shown a disinclination TO cooperate
with the executive and other depart
ments In the enforcement of the law.
The governor SAYS the attorney
general said the bill could be APP
proved and would be within the CON
stitutional limit. but when the comp
troller was asked about the matter,
he was cvaslve. and rather than have
trouble In the future over the inter-
pretation OF the law. the governor
says he preferred TO veto the bill.
lie announces he will submit the
measure at the special session, and
that the criminal bill will be opers-
tive and will require salons to close
at 9:3O after July
The governor also vetoed the bill
which provided that habitual drunk
ards should be committed to the in
sane asylum. The attorney general
found this bill unconstitutional and
the governor acted on this view OF
the matter.
The governor also disapproyed the
marketing bureau bill which sought
TO create a new statutory office. The
governor doubts the necessity for the
creation OF such new office.
