LOCAL LIME SUPPLY USEFUL
Necessary Food Furnished for Plants
and Is Great Aid in Speeding
Up Many Crops.

(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
while lime is not usually listed
among the commercial fertilizers, IL
furnishes a necessary food for plants
and when properly used is a great
aid in speeding up the production of
many crops. It's greatest value is for
correcting acidity of the soil under
which condition many plants will not
thrive. 1t also improves the soils
physical condition and influences IA
vorably the decomposition of organic
matter. In some cases it may make
available to some extent soluble forms
of potash and other mfneraIs. 1t is
particularly valuable if there is a good
supply of organic matter in the soil.
Spring is a good time to apply lime,
particularly the hydrated form and
specialists of the department of agri-
culture are urging that local limestone
deposits be utilized in every possible
way. This is already being done in
many places but no doubt the practice
could be widely extended. However,
ii involves. in the case of grinding, the
purchase and delivery of grinding ma
chinery, which may be difficult to ac-
complish, and in the case of local
burning it means the purchase and de-
livery of fuel unless there is local fuel
available. Wherever fuel, either wood
or coal, is available, however, togeth-
er with a local supply of limestone,
every effort should be put forth to
make use of this limestone in the pres
ent emergency.

WARNS RAIL STRIKERS
M'ADoo SAYS U. S. CANNOT BE
COERcED BY EMPLOYEES.
Communication Addressed to Heads of
Labor Organizations Assures
Justice to Ali.

Washington, June director Gen
eral McAdoo addressed communion
ton to the six heads of labor organ
izations having jurisdiction over the
machinists, boilermakers and other
branches of organized labor employed
in railroad shops, pointing out the
meaning and possible consequences Of
strikes or walkouts of railroad en-
ployees during the war.
The communication reads:
The strike of certain shopmen, ma
chlnlsts, etc., in the railroad shops at
Alexandria, Va, has created a very
painful impression on the public mind.
1 cannot believe that these men knew
what they were doing. They are all
employees now of the United States
government. They are not employees
OF any railroad corporation; therefore
tlls was strike against the govern
ment OF the United States.
1t is the first time in the history Of
our government that any of it's en-
ployees have attempted a strike
against their government. Such ac-
non is Incredible. For the good Of
our beloved country, and for the hon
or OF railroad men in the service
everywhere, | hope that there will be
no repetition of what every one must
condemn as unpatriotic in the highest
degree.
The government cannot, of course,
De coerced or intimidated by any Of
It's employees. 1t is anxious to do
justice to all and will do justice to
all as far as it is possible to measure
justice.
Recognizing that there are prob
able inequalities in the recommend.
atoms of the wage commission which
should be impartially considered and
dealt with l appointed in my general
order No. q, dated May 25, board
OF railroad wages and working condi-
IONS composd of three representa-
i've labor men and three representa-
tive railroad men, whose duty it is to
