LINING FOR ALFALFA

Alfalfa requires a soil that Is neutral
or alkaline. 1t is necessary that soil
acidity be neutralized by IL "a in order
that the desirable bacteria ln.>v thrive.
and also that there may b0 III actual
excess for the use of the plant. Alfalfa
ash often contains as much as &c per
cent Of lime, while red Glove contains
81 per cent and timothy per cent.
Most Tennessee soils are acid, eX
cept where lime has been regularly
applied. Soil analyses show that these
soils contain very low quantities Of
lime, hence the necessity for applying
lime in liberal quantities in preparing
>and for alfalfa. A. light application
may start off the alfalfa for a time
but the stand will not be permanent.
I. is bett5: that the lime go on land
ten days or two weeks before the al
falfa is seeded. Light sandy soils need
not be liz ed as heavily as clay soils.
In most cases two tons of ground lime
stone per acre will be found sufficient.
After tie lime Is distributed the son
should be thoroly harrowed.-C. e. An

of Tennessee. Knoxville.

Our soldiers of the sea have been
the first of our troops to adopt splin-

chilled steel head protector has been
devised for the marine corps, and its
members will be thus equipped as fast

the service can follow or not as they
choose. The marines are usually fol-

Keeping Cool.

Let's keep our heads and do
things sanely. Excitement is in
dulged in vainly. Since war
clouds gathered DER the nation
there's been such frenzied agita-
ton, SO much of useless noise and
clamor, it gives a sane man kat
zenjammer. A lot of busy men
are screening; hysteric loyalty
they're preaching; you'll shrek
with them, or you're a traitor
old Benny Arnold was no greater.
A thousand schemes no man
could follow each morning we are
asked to swallow you must do
this or that or t'other, or you are
Arnold's younger brother. These
noisy skates are 1nisfts, plainly.
Let's keep our heads and do
things sanely. All history this
fact is telling: Great wars are
never won by yelling. Well
never whip the kaiser's boosters
by growing like SO many roosters.
Wen never win single battle
by milling round like locoed cat
tie. I love the flag and would de-
fend it until the crash of worlds
shall end it, but I don't drape my
stately manors in forty thousand
spangled banners. That kind of
loyalty is easy, but when the tax
collector, breezy, comes up to ask
us for our plumber, to help to put
the foemen under, lot of patriots
will SILVER and have congestion
OF the liver. Then you will see
my smiles are many, while dig
ging up the groat and penny; /
saved them for my country, main
ly; let's keep our heads and do
things sanely.

ENTENTE ANSWERS
Central POWERS
Reply Rejecting Proposal Of
Germany for Cessation Of
H0stllities Goes Forward

Washington, Jan. 2-Rejection Of
peace proposals Of the Central Pow
ers was mailed today by the StAte
Department for presentation to
Germany and her Allies whose diplo-
matte interests are represented at
this time by the United States.
Particular interest is attached to
statements made by Senator Stone
Missouri, chairman Of the Foreign
relations committee who had an
hour conference with President
Wilson yesterday, that the President
would not seek congressional action
in the interest Of peace.
Next to the peace proposition, the
tariff again bobbed up in Washing
ton when the question Of raising ad-
ditional revenue was brought up.
Sugar, wool and rubber have been
suggested a. commodities which
bear additional burden in the tariff
schedules. Threatened deficits at the
end of the next fiscal year have
made it imperative that the admins.
tration devise means of raising ad.
ditional revenues. Original propos.
ais under consideration involve the
placing of an additional tax Of from
one-quarter to one-half cent pei
pound on sugar. Nmportations OF
sugar for the last fiscal year were
about 5,O00,000,000 pounds and an
increase of one-half cent per pound
would net an increase in the e>xevenue
Of $24,500,OO0. "

LAWSONISPANNED
Ri0ht Hand Men Of the Ad.
miDistratiOn Take Specu-
latofs to Task.

The charges made by Thomas w.
Lawson Of Boston that millions were
made by the aid Of the leak in the
peace note news, came up for dis
cussion in the Senate today. Senator
Stone said that he was sorry that
the newspapers Of the country had
taken up the bellowings Of the Bos-
ton man. He further said: IF it be
true that any public official has or
did use any secret or confidential in
formation, as alleged" said Senator
Stone, ''he is an unspeakable scound-
rel. If any man in legislative life
if any Senator did it, which l believe
to be absolutely impossible, he ought
to be dismissed from his Office or
this body"
After two conferences with Mr..
Lawson, Representative Henry chair
man Of the House rules committee
said !" Certainly no sensible person
would ask me to trouble the commit
tee with meeting to chase q mirage.
And must say so far as this matter
between Mr.. Lawson and myself is
concerned, it is ended"
