Tulips may be planted as close as

from FIVE to seven inches apart and
about four or five inches deep. In
light or opsn soils the deeper planting
is best. Narcissi should be from
six to ten inches apart and four or

CHILD LABOR DAT POPULAR


Child Labor Day has been observ-

Child Labor Committee. Al least
$500 promises 10 observe the Day

fees already from school superin-
tendents, teachers, clergymen. wo-
mems clubs and other organizations,
and more are pouring in every day.
THE bill will not pass the House
this year as easily as II did last year
because our opponents were not
awake then. The only opposition TO
the bill came from cotton manufac-
turers and only three Of them ap-
peared at the hearings. This year
advice from Washington indicates
that there is 10 be concerted action
on the part Of the cotton mill inter
ests and attempts 10 block the bill
have already been made. This means
that we shall need the help OF every
individual who believes that the bill
should be passed because only by
convincing the House and the SEN
ate that public opinion is not with
the cotton mill lobby can the enact
ment Of the bill be secured. We

LINE FOR AGRICULTURAL PUR-
POSES

The use Of lime in different forms
on Kentucky soils has been attended
with such good results that its use
is rapidly on the increase. Many
plants are being established for sup
plying the demand. Some OF these
plants supply natural ground lime
stone, while others supply burned
lime, hydrated lime, or agricultural
lime"
In order that farmers may pur-
chase lime intelligently, IL is neces-
sary for them TO understand the ma
ture of the materials offered for
their use.
Lime in its various forms is used
primarily to correct soil acidity.
Raw ground limestone, fresh burned
lime, and hydrated lime will all per-
form this function. Limestone rock
is the source Of all these forms Of
lime. II 100 pounds of pure lime
stone were thoroughly burned, IL
would yield So pounds Of fresh lime.
II this Sc pounds Of fresh lime were
treated with just enough water to
completely slake il, il would weigh
~ pounds. These amounts Of the
different forms would have identi-
cally the same value in correcting
soil acidity. Stated in another way,
1920 pounds of fresh lime, 1880
pounds OF water slaked lime and 1000
pounds of ground limestone are of
equal value in correcting soil acidi-
ty.
Fresh lime and hydrated lime, az.
ter application TO the soil, soon take
up carbon dioxide (the part lost in
burning) and become the same
chemical compound as the original |
rock from which they were made.
This information will serve as a
basis for calculating the relative
cost Of actual naturalizing power in
the various forms Of lime offered at
different prices.
Hydrated lime can be made by
anyone by taking fresh lime and
shaking il with water. Agricultural
lime" is generally ground hydrated
lime. Fresh burnt lime and hydrat-
ed lime must of necessity sell for
more per unit Of actual neutralizing
power than ground limestone, on &C
count Of the expense of burning.
Fresh burnt lime and hyrdated
lime may give better results the first
year than ground limestone, but this
is because OF its caustic effects on
the organic matter OF the soil, caus-
ing a more rapid giving up Of nitro
gen. Experiments in Maryland and
Pennsylvania show that used
through long period of time, the
raw ground limestone gives the bet
ter results.
Limestone need not be ground as

Raising the Diver.

Divers working under great pressurss
require more than an hour to be drawn
to the surface, says the American Boy.

the divers body becomes accustomed
to the greatly increased air pressure
under which he works. At enormous
pressure his body through breathing

II brought TO the surface suddenly
the change In pressure causes the gases
penned In the body TO tear their way
out through the soft tissue OF the body
organs. So the pressure must be SLOW
ly decreased to let the gases WORK out
Of the body gradually. Consequently
the diver is raised TO the surface very
slowly. When Diver Drellishak was
working on raising the VA United
States submarine at Honolulu In as
cending he was kept at depth Of ten
feet below the surface for more than
