Agricultural Uses of Lime.


The use of lime as a fertilizer
dates from the inception of modern
scientific farming. Agricultural
chemists have shown that there are
five or six different functions which
may perform to benefit a soil,
which may be summarized briefly
as follows:
/. 1t is an essential element of
plant food
2. 1t aids in the conversion of
decaying organic matter into humus.
3. 1t forms compounds with the
humic acids which tend to prevent
their being leached out of the soil
and lost.
4. BY producing proper sanitary
conditions the growth of injurious
bacteria is largely prevented, while
the growth of nitrifying bacteria
is encouraged. These nitrifying
bacteria convert the nitrogen of the
humus into such a form that it is
available as plant food.
5. Lime aids in the liberation of
potash and phosphorus from.inert
compounds.
6 1t tends to floculate clay soils,
rendering them granular and more
porous
Obviously, permanent results can
not be expected unless care is TAX
en- to insure the presence of some
organic fertilizer at all times. Lime
used alone may be temporarily ben
efcial but will eventually be harm
full; when used with coWpea vines
it becomes more efficient for gener-
al purposes than almost. any other
fertilizer. Of course, lime is not
beneficial to all crops to the same
extent, and not all soils need lime
Thus, some of the common plants
which are stated by the Department
of Agriculture to be benefited by
lime. are spinach. lettuce. beet. eel
cry, onion, cucumber. cantaloupe
asparagus, cabbage, peanut, rhu
barb. pea, pumpkin, bean, tobacco
alfalfa, clover, barley. wheat. oats
; timothy. gooseberry, currant. Grange
, ounce and cherry. Indian corn il
, only slightly benefited.
Plants which are said to b.
slightly injured by lime are cotton
tomato, cowpea, concord grape
= peach, apple and pear, and thos'
really injured are radish, flax
: blackberry, black raspberry anc
cranberry.
Whether a soil will respond tt
lining or not depends on the amount

Arthur Is a Good Judge.

Arthur Brisbane of New York, the
highest salaried newspaper man in

The new levee district is the result

that a cop from one district could not
make a pinch on the other side of
the street.

beat it across the street" when they

their trade.
Now things are a little different
The special punches from both sta

take in both sides of the street.
