THE ACIDITY PROBLEM

THE ACIDITY PROBLEM
 Where alfalfa is hardy, other vege- tation, such as clover, grasses, etc, do not imperil a stand, because hardy plants do not readily die or become crowded out. Renovating occasionally with spring tooth harrow will keep the field free from other vegetation.
 While difficulty has been experienced in establishing alfalfa in different sec tions, the causes of failure can be traced back to a few factors These causes can easily be avoided with but little trou- ble and expense by observing few sim pie rules.
 GLUE METHOD OF INOCULATION
 1. Only well-drained fields should be selected, because alfalfa requires a warm, well-aerated soil, with plenty of root room. These conditions do not pre- vail where the soil is poorly drained.
 g. A productive soil will insure the best stand and growth. There will. then be enough plant food available to supply the alfalfa pants and other vegetation which may be present, until the field is clipped Where the soil is productive, alfalfa can hold it's own until the weeds are ready to cut
 Where soil acidity is prevalent, or where difficulty is encountered in estab- fishing alfalfa after effective inocuia- tion has been provided, it is best to have the soil tested for acidity. Where the soil is medium to strongly acid, apply from two to three tons of finely ground limestone per acre or from four to eight tons of limestone screenings, depending upon their fineness. The lime should be applied after blowing. Either lime or manure spreader is satisfactory in spreading the lime.
 Prepare a firm, clean, moist seed bed by working the ground systematically until along in July.
 Seed about 12 pounds of clean, hardy seed per acre. On heavy soil either drill ing or broadcasting the seed is satisfac- tory. On light soil always drill the seed in. Do not plant the seed over one-half inch deep on heavy soil, and not over one inch on light.
 Lack of effective noculation is causing more failures than any other factor A simple, effective and inexpensive method is as follows:
 l. Gather pound of soil from around thoroughly inoculated alfalfa or sweet clover plants. Air dry in shade and pull verize.
 2. Purchase about 5c worth of furniture glue, dissolve in one pint hot water; cool; then spread on seed; mix thor oughly and scatter the soil over the seed, and mix again.
 3. The seed should not be exposed to the sunlight before seeding. Where the seed Is sown broadcast, the field should be dragged at once. This method. inocu- lates every seed, thus insuring uniform and immediate results.
 REMEMBER
 If you want to make a success of al- falfa, all that is necessary is to meet its needs.
 Lime where necessary.
 Inoculate always. It's good insurance (except on fields which have grown al- falfa successfully.
 Select only well drained fields.
 Make them productive.
 Prepare a firm, clean, moist, seed bed by systematic tillage. q Seed 12 pounds of clean, hardy seed per acre along in July or early August.
 Do not get the seed too deep-Farm, Stock and Home

TELEPHONES AND TELEGRAPH
Regulations Of Rural Telephones Nr'
Talked Over at Length

The committee on telephones ana tele-
praph held a hearing Tuesday on the
bill introduced into the House OF KEEP
resentstiyes which aims at the reguia-
ton Of rural telephones. This Dill pro-
yides among other things that not more
than eight subscribers should be placed
on any one telephone line, and this was
the chief topic of discussion in the near
ing. Representative John l.. MeserVe
of Naples and Representative George L.
Coffin of Freeport appeared in FAVOR OIL
the bill Representatives of about ~
telephone companies appeared against IL.
The New England Telephone and Teie-
graph Co. was represented by Mr.. Nor
man Bassett. Lauren Sanborn or South
Portland appeared in behalf or the
Stan6ish, Baldwin and Sebago Co. The
other lines, mostly small rural lines.
were represented by officers or subscrip-
ers The arguments in opposition 10
the bill were chiefly that such pro-
vision as the eight-party line would put
a great hardship on the small companies
and in some cases would be likely to
put them out of existence. The argu-
ments in favor of the bill were that
the proposed plan would give better
service, especially in handling toll calls.
This was the only measure which came
before this committee at this hearing.

RAILROADS AND EXPRESSES
Measure Regarding Use of Sidinss
Constructed or to Be Built

Only one measure was discussed befCre
the committee on railroads and expresses
in the hearing held in the Public Utili-
ties room Tuesday afternoon. This was
a new draft of the measure providing that
the Public Utilities Commission should be
given the power to permit the use of sid
ings, either already constructed or to be
built, under certain conditions
The new draft of the bill provides that
the commission shall have the power to
require any railroad or street railroad to
permit any person to use any existing
side track belonging to the railroad COM
pany for the purposes of loading and I'M
loading cars, if such permission seems
practicable and not to endanger the
equipment of the railroad company. The
bill also gives the commission authority
upon request to require any railroad to
build a side track to private property
provided that all costs are paid by the
requesting party. The bill further gives
the commission power to require any
railroad to place cars on any siding I'M
der such rates as the commission shall
consider reasonable. Finally the bill pro-
vdes that nothing in it shall require any
If such company is not so engaged
The bill was explained by Judge Bel
jamin f. Cleaves of the Public Utilities
Commission. In the course of several
questions asked by Seth Carter. repre-
senting the Maine Central Railroad, va
rious minor matters We're adjusted. II.
j. Hart of the Bangor & Aroostook also
took part in the discussion. At the close
of the discussion. it was suggested by the
chairman of the committee that the rep
resentatives of the commission and of the
railroads straighten aout the details in
private conference and the bill will be
presented before the committee again at
a later date.
Another measure providing for increas-
ing the allowed speed of railroad trains
at crossings to Is miles and also providing
for certain measures for safety was laid
on the table in view of other bills on the
same matter to be brought in later.

nosed the act on general principles. He
said If the law isn't satisfactory change
il but he should like to see the lew
tried out first for a time. He said when
he appeared before the committee pre-
yiously he had been reported as having
sworn before the members and While
be might have shocked some members
of the committee he knew he couion
shock the Portland members OF It,
"Gcod reasons because we know you,
said Emery G. Wilson OF the commit
tee and this got laugh.
Mr.. Plummer said he had been
member of the board Of county COM
missioners Of Cumberland county for
many years end in 25 years sc had
not seen a single case brought on this
act. He said there was one case tried
out in Bowdoinham and another one
in Aroostook and he happened to be
with the offender arrested there at
that time. They say I'm kind OF
crooked" said he, land the arrest gave
me a shock but the fellow came back
pleaded guilty and was fined $40. Now
1t would seem to me that no judge
would fine a man more than SO for So
liciting without a license but if he
wanted to he could fine him S55" He
said he didn't care whether they made
it $50 or 5000 fine but he didn't believe
any judge would send a man to Jail
for the offense. "hy," said he, Solicit
ing insurance makes a mon a public
benefactor. THIS is an exceptionally
good committee, you've thrown about
everything in the junk heap that has
come before YOU and 1 think that's
where you'll throw this one" he con-
cluded. He said it didn't amend the
law with regard to brokers at all.
Mr.. Lang said as a matter of uni
formity that Jail sentences be given
