GROUND LIMESTONE ON FARM LAND
Weekly Letter of John H. Page. Bu- reau of Mines, Manufactures and Agriculture, Little Rock. Ark.

Farmers need be concerned about but four elements in the soil They are nitrogen, phosphorous, potash, and lime. All soils contain enough of the other elements to make a good crop of any farm crop. The proper proportion and amount of the four elements mentioned will insure a pro- ductive soil for any farm crop. Such soils are usually dark or black, and are what are immediately recognized as good soils. A large part of the lands in our State need more phosphorous and lime. Phosphorous can be added to the soil by application of acid phosphate, bone meal, ground rock phosphate, etc. There are numerous beds of rock phosphate in Arkansas but most of it is of low value. Only one or two beds have been developed Tennessee rock phosphate of good grade can be obtained.
 Lime should be applied by spreading the raw ground limestone. It can be obtained from several points in the State-Rogers, St. Joe and Ruddells. The Arkansas Lime Co.,, of Rdddells, make speciality of preparing ground limestone for farm use, and sell it for about SIPS ton, depending rpon quantity.
 Last year made an effort to get the railroads to make a lower freight rate on ground limestone to enable the farmers to use it, but failed. Later I took it up with the Railroad Con- mission, and they made rate that will enable the farmers to ship and use it. The rate went into effect May 1st, and is as follows

 This puts ground limestone in reach of all railroad points at a cost not too high to prohibit the use of it. Ground limestone is helpful to nearly all farm lands now in cultivation in the State. Where the soil is hard and compact, lime will loosen; where it is loose and sandy, lime will tend to tighten or firm it. Lime is necessary for all sour soils. It is necessary to grow alfalfa successfully and is high ly beneficial in growing all crops. From three to five tons to the acre should be used. Do not make the of putting only ton to the acre to make it go further. Put enough on a small patch rather than not enough on whole field. When you put on to 5 tons per acre you will not need more for 4 or 3 years. Any of the ordinary soils in Arkansas when we'll drained and free from hard pan, or underlying rock or slate near the surface, and lined and we'll manur. ed, will grow alfalfa, and good alfalfa land is worth S100 an acre. The fall is the best time to lime your soil. Get ready and try it out this fall.

 The grain crop of the South will this year exceed in value by several hundred million dollars the cotton cr2p, according to a statement in the Manufacturers Record.
 It is estimated there are only about 100000 Angora goats in the United States, over one-third and possibly one-half of them browsing over the mountain ranges of West Texas. Ore gon follows in point of number, then California, Iowa and New Mexico.

 The output of Texas mines for the past year, according to official figures from Washington, amounted to S234 in gold, 530,8t7 ounces of silver, 149027 pounds of lead. 23,760 pounds of copper and 216,451 pounds of zinc, hD tol ~r,1,, ~f |, .. $313,7S7.

 President Wilson has called on his aids for reports on the condition of the national defense, and will out line in his message to congress at the next session definite needs to increase the navy, and the building up of the army to point adequate to care for the defense of this country. From 30 to 50 submarines and probably eight battle cruisers will be asked, it is now understood. The army will probably be brought up to 5000 000.
 A new use has been found for the auto in Ellis county. A. T. Miller, a farmer residing few miles north of WaXahachie, is utilizing one to cut feed and fill a 120-ton silo. The tires of the rear wheels have been taken off and belts from these wheels drive a lin shaft, which in turn is connect ed with the cutting and elevating ma chinery. Farmers who have seen the machine in operation say it does the work to perfection, cutting the feed and filling the silo at the same time.
 The canning plant at the State Or phans' Home, Corsicana, Texas, has been operated but one full day since it was installed and then it turned out 965 three pound cans of peaches.
