LIME FOR AGRICUL-
TURAL PURPOSES

been attended with such good
results that its use is rapidly on
the increase. Many plants arc
being established for supplying
the demand. Some of these
plants supply natural limestone
while others supply burned lime
hydrated lime, or agricultural
lime"
In order that farmers may pur-
chase lime intelligently, it is
necessary for them to understand
the nature of the materials offer
cd for their use.
Lime in its various forms is
used primarily to correct soil
acidity. Rad ground limestone,
fresh burned lime, and hydrated
lime will al perform this func-
tion. Limestone rock is the
source of all these forms of lime.
If 100 pounds of pure limestone
were throughly burned, it would
yield 50 pounds of fresh lime. If
this So pounds of fresh lime were
treated with just enough water
to completely slate it, it would
weigh "a pounds. These amounts
of the different forms would
have identically the same value
in correcting soil acidity. Stated
in another way, 1920 pounds of
fresh lime, 1870 pounds of water
slaked lime and 1000 pounds Of
ground limestone are of equal
value in correcting soil acidity.
Fresh lime and hydrated lime,
after application to the soil, soon
take up carbon dioxide (the part
lost in burning) and become the
same chemical compound as the
original rock from which they
were made.
The information will serve as
basis for calculating the rela-
tive cost of actual naturalizing
power in the various forms of
lime offered at different prices.
Hydrated lime can be made by
anyone by taking fresh lime and
shaking it in water. Agricultural
lime" is generally ground hydrat-
ed lime. Fresh burnt lime and
hydrated lime must of necessity
sell for more per unit of actual
neutraliz;ng value than ground
limestone, on account of the ex-
pense of burning.
Fresh burnt lime and hydrated
lime may give better results the
first year than ground limestone,
but this is because of its caustic
effects on the organic matter of
the soil, causing a more rapid
, giving up of nitrogen. Expert
ments in Maryland and Pennsyl-
vania show that used through a
long period of time, the raw
ground limestone gives the better
results.
Limestone need not be ground
as finely as some people recon-
mend. If it is ground to pass
screen of ten meshes per lineal
inch, it is sufficiently fine. This
is about the hneness of coarse
corn meal. Screenings, the
coarsest of which pass a screen
with four meshes to the inch, are
quite satisfactory if sold at a
reasonable price. A large per
centage of such screenings con-
sists of fine material. Such
screenings are sold in Kentucky
at so cents to Is cents per ton on
board cars at the plant, More
finely ground limestone of high
quality is being sold in the State
at $I.oo per ton on board cars at
the plant.
Ground limestone is calcium
carbonate. The value of one
ground limestone or calcium car
Donate as compared with another
depends on the purity of the
rock.

MARKET APPEARS SOLID
All Fears of Rush Of Foreign

New York. Dec. IAN open market
for all stocks on the floor OF the New
York stock exchange will be created
This was decided on this afternoon. IL
was voted to eliminate, beginning to-
morrow, the so-called clearing house
list and to place the stocks therein on
the same basis OF trading as the lS2
issues already approved.
The solitary restriction placed upon
all stocks Is to be that their prices
shall not go below the minimum al
ready established.
The chief issues thus placed In the
open market are United States Steel,
Southern Pacific, Great Northern. Ca
madam Pacific, New York Central and
Anaconda Mining issues-,all known as
international securities. x.
Formal decision to create an open
market subject only to minimum
prices. was made by the committee OF
five Of the stock exchanges at o'clock
this afternoon, after the exchange had
opened for trading in stocks, only sew
en- business hours since 1t was closed
on July 80 last.
Foreign Scare Over.
During the sessions OF Saturday and
today the last vestige OF apprehension
that foreign investors would deluge the
local market with a vast volume Of
selling orders, was swept away. Ii
was the fear that had prevented the
committee from listing the information
al issues among the approved list for
open trading made public last Friday
afternoon. Traaing under restriction
and supervision of the committee was
brisk, both Saturday and today in the
restricted issues; but 1t revealed to
the entire satisfaction OF the govern
ors that there would be no foreign land
slide of orders to disorganize the mar
ket here.
With today's action Of the committee,
1t is believed, that tomorrow the ex-
change will go back to practically the
same footing as it occupied before the
European war clouds were visible. The
minimum prices restriction is only
nominal; both Saturday and today
nearly all issues dealt in rose high
above the minimum.
