Lime, Lime, Lime!

Experiment station directors are
unanimously of the opinion that
lime is greatly needed on the farms
of Tennessee and other southeastern
states.
They agree on many points which
are as follows:
Soils are seriously deficient in
lime, SO that lime is essential to
their most profitable development and
permanent improvement.
Suitable agricultural lime mater
ials are high grade calcium and mag
nesian limestone; also oyster shells,
and high grade mari, together with
the burnt products Tor the chemical
equivalents of such) of any of these
in the amount recommended.
The finer the limestone is ground
is it's immediate availability. Lime
stone ground to pass thru ten
mesh screen, all finer product in
cluded, is recommended for the COM
mon application of two tons to the
acre. Either very finely pulverized
limestone or burnt lime is re-
commended, where an application of
a few hundred pounds to the acre is
to be made.
For general use, one or two tons
of ground limestone to the acre
should be applied, or one-half of that

amount of burnt lime, once in a
rotation of not more than five years
For alfalfa and permanent pastures,
an application of double this amount
should be made.
Lime may be used safely at any
point in the ordinary farm rotation
without serious loss of the material.
If applied in connection with titled
crops, its mixture with the soil will
be incurred.
The effects of lime are in proper
ton to the thoroness with which it
is mixed with the soil in which the
crop roots develop.
Lining is most profitable in those
rotations in which legumes are prom
inent; but over large areas in
these states, especially on heavier
types of soil, lining is profitable for
corn, small grains, and grasses.
With soil poor in potash and phos
phorus, lining gives best results on
ly when supplemented by materials
carrying these constituents.

ELLIS DENIES THE
EGYPTIAN CHARGE
New York Correspondent
SAYS He Was on Hand

New York. August t7.--Emphatic

partment that he was conspicuously
active in connection with the nation
alst movement in Egypt was made to-
day by DR.. William T. Ellis, corre-
spondent of the New York Herald, wac
was detained for nearly a month in
Cairo by American and British off
-cials
DR.. Ellis whose detention has been
the subject Of investigation by both
branches of Congress. has just arrived
here on warship. coming directly
from Constantinople. Not until ne
reached that city he asserted. did hs
learn why he had been detained ana
denied all knowledge of any charges
and refused permission even to cable
to the Secretary of State at my ex-
pense."
Regarding the charges of the State
Department that he had been acttvs
in nationalist demonstrations and
that 1 had made speech or speeches
at El Azar or elsewhere and that j
had evaded the censor" DR.. Ellis said:
This last is the only point that has
a shred of truth 10 it. l did evade the
censor. for from the first I took the
position that the reports of an Amer
lean citizen to American newspapers
were international affairs and not
censorahle by foreign power.

respondent continued:

anything important doing, whether IT
was battle between the soldiers and
the Egyptians, a demonstration before
the American consulate. a public fun

Ullman Gables That
Thousands Suffer

Washington, August 17.-Premier
Ullman of the Lettish government, in
cablegram from Libau today to the
Associated Press. declared~that unless
relief in the shape of food was forth
coming within a very few days suffer-
ing would be widespread in Letvia and
that all work done by the American
relief administration through funds
from the $780, 900, 900 congressional APP
preparation would be nullified. Letvia,
he cabled, also faces the danger of
bolshevism being engendered through
famine.
Premier Uliman, who is former
American university professor, in his
cablegram said:
THE situation is critical. Riga, with
225.o00 inhabitants and its devastated
neigh borhood, and a smaller town of
$4,000 inhabitants, after August 20 will
be without bread although the ration
has been cut down from 220 grams of
flour to 125 grams The army of $4,000
soldiers also will be without bread
during the four weeks before Septem-
Der Is until which date there is abso-
lutely no hope of getting in the new
crop.
The American relief administration
was looking for one more flour ship
ment, but information has been re-
ceived that the congressional appto-
priatio has been exhausted and that
there will be no new shipments"

1t comes from the committee withou,
recommendation as to the taxing ma
chinery and the income and coal and iron
tonnage tax. About these sections the
greatest interest will center. The gov
ernor is more concerned about these
provisions than about the balance OF
the bill. He insists that these taxes and
the tax machinery OF the original bill
be in the bill when finally passed by
both houses
Opponents of these are as equally
emphatic in stating that they will nor
be in it There is a wide divergence
of opinion between the house and the
senate over the machinery chapter and
the income ana tonnage tax sections and
the exemption sectons.
HOUSE ON RECORD
The house is already on record or
these matters. 1t voted down the ex-
emptions and the tax machinery by large
majorities and it is claimed by op-
ponents of these that the majority Of.
the body viii never consent to their
reincorporation in the bill. The senate.
it is believed, will write these back III
the BILL and perhaps strike out the in
come and tonnage taxes. The commit
tee has already struck out the excess
profits tax for which the governor claims
credit. He states that this action was
taken at this suggestion.
Even if the senate retains the income
and tonnage taxes which is not belieN-
ed likely and restores the exemptions
and the taxing machinery there is small
probability of the conference committee
