LIME SHOWS A
GOOD PROFIT ON
MICHIGAN SOILS
BIG INCREASE PER ACRE FOL-
LOWS FERTILIZER TESTS
AT THE NJ. A. c.

That the yield per acre on many
Michigan soils can be increased ire
mendously by the use of lime and
complete fertilizers is shown by
figures recently given out by DIR.
nj. nj. McCool heal of the soils de-
partment at the Michigan Agricui-
tural College. The figures are based
upon extensive tests carried out in
different parts of the state by the
college soils specialists, and repre-
sent an accurate study of average
conditions.
In fertility tests carried out on
light soils in Southwestern Michigan
by DR.. McCool and G. M. Grantham
the use of lime alone is found to in
crease the acre value of rye from
$19,75 to 1925. The use of lime
and high grade complete fertilizer
in the same series of tests increases
the acre value to $3.50. The COM
plete fertilizer used was composed
of fifty pounds of nitrate of soda
applied at the time of seeding, fifty
pounds applied in the spring as a top
dressing and two hundred and fifty
pounds of acid phosphate and one
hundred pounds of potash applied to
soy beans the previous year.
The typical heavy soils of Central
Michigan were also found to respond
we'll to treatment. Tests carried on
by DR.. McCool and C. f. Millar re-
turned 1920 per acre above the
cost of treatment when an applica-
ton of lime and acid phosphate cost
ing So per acre was made. Where
lime, nitrogen, phosphate acid and
potash, costing approximately $1,000
per acre were used the returns were
$4,000 per acre above the cost of
treatment, showing clearly the act
ual cash returns from the use Of
proper fertilizers.
Information regarding fertilizers
and tests to determine the proper
fertilizers for any soil may be had
by writing to M. M. McCool, Soils
Department, M. A. c., East Lansing.

With splinters flying, shocked upon
its heavy hinges, the great oak door
was open. Stairway slipped through ;
Vidal, his deep chest painting from his
herculean labor, ak still gripped in an
enormous hand, came after him, his
fellows crowding after them.
A large room this time, some thirty
feet square, furnished well; blankets,
scattered morsels Of bread and meat,
showing that here Torres men had
been. A glance showed that the room
was empty of human occupants; a sec
ond glance found one man lying close
to the wall, limp and inert, red stain
upon his breast.

Before Gaucho had turned to obey
before Stanways 'echoing words sank

the door an exclamation Of terror, q
sudden cry, and the reverberating
crack Of a revolver.
Then brief silence again for a mo-

of two axes, ripping and tearing at the
oak planks of the door.
