GROWING WHEAT

In planning to grow wheat remember that there are certain requirements for success. A. mong these essentials are: a fairly productive soil, early breaking and thorough preparat- ion for the crop, the choice of a good variety of wheat, the use of the grain drill in seeding, seeding usually from one inch to one and one-half inches in depth, seeding at the rate of six pecks per acre, seeding at the proper season. the middle of October in Northren Arkansas, the last of October in Southern Arkansas, and in case of danger from smut treat the seed for smut.

WEEKLY LETTER


 Last week l wrote upon the subject of ground limestone and rock phosphate for Arkansas soils. A great deal has been said upon the subject of lining soils, but mostly from the stand point of correcting acidity, or to be plainer to cure the sourness of soils. This is important and must not be overlooked, but there are other benefits. A good deal of land is called dead, or lifeless soil, water-soaked soil, etc. These all need ground limestone, because almost uniformly, they are sour. But they must be drained we'll to get the full value of lime. Lime will do but little good on land that is going to remain covered with standing water the greater part of the year First, drain or dry your land if it needs it, then apply the lime. Use ground limestone in prefer ence to burnt lime. The burnt lime is caustic, and will kill out some of the bacterial life that is so essential to the soil.
 All plants have some lime in them, consequently, all soils must have lime in some form. Land that has been cultivated a long time with no green stuff. stalks, weeds or vegetable mat ter turned under. get hard and pack, and break up in clods. The soil gets lifeless and poor. When packed the air cannot get into it. make it crumble, and let the air in and the water circu- late through it freely. This con dition will release more plant food. The lime will have a | chemical action on the soil parti- cles and release more plant food. If you blow under green. stuff the lime will help to change it into plant food and enrich the soil. Long continued cultivation of sandy soils tends to make them more sandy. The humus ,r vegetable matter rots and is used up and only sand remains. There is but little life in it and t will not hold moisture. The lir circulates too freely and dries t out too rapidly. It will not lold fertilizer well, and the green stuff turned under, sours lime it. The lime will help to overcome the difficulties. Lime s an element needed in the soil 0 help the other clements. Il will make more plant food avail .ble. It will warm and enliven he air, let the air and water irculate properly, stimulate cer- ain bacteria in the soil, and or he whole make your land more Every farm that an grow alfalfa should do so. 1t least one acre in every ten hould be in clover, and the last rop to be turned under every hird year. In the meantime, 'eep up the COW pea habit. irow them every year every where you can.
 In using ground limestone, put our tons to the acre. In about our years add about one ton to he acre every year. You will ot get your best results the first ear. Ground limestone is "fooi roff." You cannot use t o 0 luch or hurt your land with 1t. nv a carload Don't try to

famous cabinet meeting of May IL,
when the sinking of the Lusitania was
first considered there was an informal

Secretary Lansing stated that while
he had no reason TO doubt the correct

news dispatches, no formal considera-
tion could be given to the question un-
til Ambassador Gerard s official copy
had been received.
Officials generally were agreed that
the German reply was far from salts

this country was faced with another
difficult situation in its relations with
Germany. 1t was pointed out that the
American government and Germany
had practically reached deadlock on
the law in the case, neither side evi-

ton. The situation was now thought
to resolve itself entirely into a ques-
tion of policy, which depends on Presi-
dent Wilson.
Opinions varied as to the Presidents
probable course, but it was believed
likely that he would again wait crvs-
tallization of public sentiment in tho
country.
