Brief Items.

For correcting soil acidity, /
ton of burned lime is practically
equal to II tons of Stacked lime
or 2 tons of ground limestone, in
case all three forms are of equal
grade Of purity.
Successful methods for the
control of the foot-rot of sweet
potatoes, a serious and destruc-
tive disease in several States,
have been developed by the spec.
ialists to the department.
The Bureau of Soils is cooper.
ating with cement mills, blast
furnaces and wool scourers with
the object Of enabling them to
recover potash as a by-product
wherever this proves to be COM
m~erciablly feasible.
In 1904 the actual cash road
and bridge expenditure in the
United States averaged slightly
less than $2S per mile of rural
roads. In 1915 the cash road and
bridge expenditures had increas-
ed to an average of $109 per
mile of road.
Good stable manure is one of
the most satisfactory top-dress-
ing for alfalfa. 1t should be ap-
piled in the late fall or early
winter and distributed evenly.
Where manure is not available,
300 to 400 pounds per acre of
acid phosphate will nearly always
give good results.
When alfalfa is to follow win
ter wheat or other small crops in
the East, a thorough disking,
followed by frequent borrowings
will often be all that may be re-
quired provided the land is work.
ed shortly after the grain is, re-
moved. When blowing in this
case is necessary the preparation
of the seed bed will often be
facilitated by disking ahead of
the plow and by following the
pillow at once with a pulverizer
and harrow.
Rye will thrive on acid or poor
soils where wheat will not grow
well and may be planted on any
soil later then wheat. 1t makes
one of the earliest spring pasture
and is excellent as a green ma
n ure. These characteristics
make rye an important factor in
farm economy, even in section
where its yield of grain is not as
profitable as that of wheat.

and statement"
The memorial which aroused the
President contained a detailed criticism
of the sending of the Guard to the
Mexican border and said it was tut
terly and absolutely inadequate for the
defense of the country.
The spectacle now presented on the
Mexican border" was referred to and
it was declared that there we have
men doing police duty who ought never
to be called upon for military service
away from their homes, except as a
last resort"
1T is q scardalous waste of public

unfair terms assurance of its temporary
character,
We can thus express our pleasure
and sympathy in the attitude of the
President so admirably expressed
without committing ourselves as indi-
viduals to the details Of Just peace
as Swallowed forth in his illustrations.
While everyone will doubtless favor
reduction and limitation Of armament,
in which all belligerents seem to ac
qulesce, there are earnest supporters
OF such league who believe that ONLY
a victory peace may be Just peace.
not peace seifshly dictated by con-
quercrs. but just peace wrested from
Would-be conquerors. The event must
determine the correctness of one or
the other view. Then others may not
have fully araiyzed what the freedom
of the seas means or what new provis-
ions of international law in war and
peace may secure it. So, with respect
to other matters. we may presume
that the illustra tons are used to sug-
Sest to the trainers of peace when it
comes, not what the exact terms shall

future world peace in adjusting it's
