SOIL TESTS TO
SHOW LIME NEED
county Agricultural Association Has
Bought Apparatus Which Agent
viii Use for Any Who Wish.

1t IS generally believed that most of
the New England soil is acid and needs
lime. There has been no satisfactory
test, however, until recently to deter
NINE the amount of acidity and the
amount of lime needed. Less than q
year ago DIR. G. II. Jones of the Yer
mont experiment station perfected
a test to meet this need, by means Of
which the approximate amount of lime
can be determined.
The Windham County Agricultural
association has bought an apparatus
for making this test and the county
agent IS making many of these tests.
The results of some 100 tests already
made show wide variation in soils
often of the same type. A very few
fields have been found which are meu-
trail or nearly so. Others show the need
OF 1000, 5000 or 5000 pounds of car
Donate of lime per acre.
The value of this test to the farmer
who IS using lime, or is not using it
when he ought to, is obvious and the
county agent will take samples and
run them through the test for anyone
who requests it.

Likes Our Proposed Bank Law
STEcKER, OKLA.

STECKER, OkLA,
Editor Times:
have just read in your paper OF
June 13, 1914 the new proposed
bank guaranty fund bill of your
great state and have very carefully
noted it's contents, Being cashier OF
a bank at this place, which is of
course operating under the guaran-
ty fund law Of this state, | have had
occasion to see the workings OF the
same. 1t has a hold where it has
been tried that can never be shaken
loose and is gaining ground every
day. 1t is something that has come
to stay, and we had just as well
square ourselves and begin to make
it's working more smooth and bene-
fetal to everyone concerned instead
of trying to kick it off our statute
books and trying to tear it down
after it has come,
wish to commend the originat-
ors of the proposed bill Of your state
most highly for | believe it is the
best | have ever seen proposed. 1t
seems to me that it embraces all the
good features in laws Of other states
and much more,
! am a strong believerin Il guaran-
ty law, for the simple fact that ! be.
lieve a person that puts his hard
earned money into a bank ought to
be protected in some way and this
seems to be the best way to do it,
besides it causes people to put their
money in the bank who never have
heretofore for fear of loss,
Any bank that takes advantage
Of this law, provided it passes will
find that their deposits will increase
more than sufficient to pay all eX-
pense it may cause them believe if
this matter is studied very closely
that bankers, merchants, business
men, and farmers will all line up at
the polls and vote for its passage
You may wonder why take any
interest in matters pertaining to
Arkansas, but that is very plain
when you understand that | was
born in Boone County near the
Marion County line leaving there
the fall of 1899 | have spent half
of my life in Arkansas and half in
Oklahoma, the bigger portion Of
what education | have received in
my native STATE Of Arkansas, partly
at the hands of your Dr. J. II, Fow.
ler and Hon J, Sam Rowland, Of
which am proud, Arkansas is not
always first but can be depended on
to be right in what she does do
which usually proves to be the best

THE legend Guaranteed Under

it simply guarantees to the dealer

the public misunderstanding, the De.
partment of Agriculture has now
ruled that after May /, 1916, the
