THE AGRICULTURAL
VALUE OF LIME

In areport recently issued by the U. S.
Geological Survey on the source, manu-.
facture and use of lime. some very inter
esting and educational data is given on
the use of lime as a fertilizer which en-
body the views on this subject of a num-
Der of our most prominent aericulturists.
The report dealing with the subject of
Agricultural Lime states that the use of
lime as a fertilizer dates from the incep-
ton of modern scientific farming. Ag-
rlcultural chemists have shown that there
are FIVE or six different functions which
lime may perform to benefit a soil which
may be summarized briefly as follows
1. 1t is an essential element of plant food.
2. 1t aids in the conversion of decaying
organic matter into humus. 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
form such that it is available as plant
food. 5. Lime aids in the liberation of
POldoh dlu JnOSplOIuS AlOLH lucIl GOIu
pounds. 1t tends to hocculate clay
soils, rendering them granular and more
porous.
Obviously, permanent results cannot
be expected unless care is taken to insure
the presence of some organic fertilizer at
all times. Lime used alone may be tenn
porarily beneficial, but will eventually be
harmful; when used with cowpea vines
it becomes more efficient for general pur
poses 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 this report to be benefited !
by lime are spinach, lettuce, beet, celery, |
onion, cucumber, cantaloupe, asparagus, |
cabbage, peanut, rhubarb, pea, pumpkin, |
bean, tobacco, alfalfa, clover, barley, |
wheat, oats, timothy ,gooseberry, ,currant, |
orange, ounce and cherry. Indian corn
is only slightly benefited. Plants which |
are said to be slightly injured by lime
are cotton tomato, ,cowpea, Concord grape,
peach, apple and pear, and those really
injured are radish, fax blackberry, black
and cranberry. Whether
soil will respond to lining or not, de-
pends on the amount of available cal
cium oxide which it already contains
Unfortunately chemical analysis does
not distinguish between the total cal
cium oxide and that which is available
to plants. Probably the best indication
of the need of lime is the failure to OBJ
tain a good crop of clover.

THE RURAL PRESS
The Local Paper a Most Useful
Agency on the Farm-Tho Press
Pulpit and School Trinity OF
Influence That Must Be
Utilized In Building
Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

A broad campaign of publicity on
the subject of rural life is needed in
this state today to bring the problems
of the farmers to the forefront The
city problems are blazoned upon the
front pages of the metropolitan dali
les and echoed in the country press,
but the troubles OF the farmers are
seldom told, except by those who
seek to profit by the story, and the
glitter of the package ofttimes OBJ
scures the substance. A searching in
vestigation into the needs Of the
farmers will reveal many inherent de-
fects in our economic system that can
be easily remedied when properly un'
derstood and illuminated by the pow.
er Of the press.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful In
fuences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position in pub
lie affairs. These gigantic agencies are
organized in every rural community
and only await the patronage and co
operation of the farmers to fully de-
velop their energy and usefulness.
They are local forces working for
the best interests of their respective
Their work is to build
and their object is to serve. They |
prosper only through the development |
and prosperity of the community.
Every farmer in this state should |
subscribe for the local paper, as well
rs farm periodicals and such other
publications as he may find profitable,
but he should by all means subscribe
'or his local paper, and no home
should be without it. The local paper
S part of the community life and the
editor understands the farmers prob
ems. It is the local press that will
itudy the local problems and through
is columns deal with subjects of most
'ital importance to local life Of the
community.

SELECTING YOUR STOCK
FOR THE BREEDING Pen
By J. H. McFAUL, Jr.
(AH Rights ReseyveA

In the morning as early as possible,
give the birds water to drink from which
the chill has been taken. Not too hot
but warmed. The drinking vessels should
be watched carefully during these cold
days and kept filed with warm water to
prevent freezing, in which event, the
birds would be compelled to 90 without
anything to drink, and this by no means
should be the case.
Don't allow any water to stand in the
drinking vessels over night while the
weather is at freezing temperature 1t
tends to bulge or crack the vessels. Even
if the water does not freeze by leaving it
over night, it gives the birds an opportu
nifty of drinking icy water in the early
morning. This they should not have.
Where pans or open vessels are used it is
q good plan to turn them upside down
over night This method not only drains
them, but prevents any pollution getting
into them.
Now that the Matching season is fast
rolling in upon us, we should look to the
selection of the breeders. Do not use as
breeders any hen that has not qualified |
or the job by making a record as layer. |
Try to use only those hens that have |
proved their worth by laying $50 eggs
Turing her first year. 1t is just as i'm.
)ortant to select the proper male to head
be breeding pen as it is the females.
The male to be used shonld be one whose
mother was &C least $50 egg bird during
Ter first year as layer.

Prevent Diphtheria.

A sore throat is good breeding place

You can wisely depend upon TONSILINE.

A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by Civ
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. The new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform its mission
to agriculture by recording the frail.
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions of humanity, or by filling its
columns with the echoes of the strug.
giles Of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict scar the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path.
way to destruction. The rural press
is the governing power of public senti.
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
In the roadstead Of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter.
ests of the farmers by applying its
energies TO the solution of problems
affecting the local community. It
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain head. Its
mission is to direct growth, teach eff.
hciency and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the pub |
lie the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg.
