Vets Start Fight Today to
Strike Contentious Clause
From Prohibition Measure
on Debate.
DRYS SAY BILL NOW
PERMITS BOARDING
Some Legislators Claim Ger
tain HousehoIders Have
Stored Enough Wines and
Liquors to Last Until Death.

Washington, July 20.-A fight to
strike from the prohibition enforce
ment bill the clause that 1T shall
not be unlawful to possess liquors
in ones own dwelling will be made
Monday in the house by the prohibi
ton forces.
This was made known by menl-
bers who declared the bill as now
framed permitted wholesale hoard
ing by persons reported to have put
away enough wines and liquors to
last them the rest of their lives
There was no statement from Chair
man Volstead, of the judiciaiy y
committee in charge of the dry
fight on the floor, as to whether he
would accept an amendment to this
effect. The radicals said frankly
they had little hope of changing the
bill in this respect without the con-
sent OF the committee chairman.
Think Gone Far Enough.
TIE general view. however, was
that the house had gone about as
far as conservatives thought wise
with drastic provisions. For the
past week many prohibitionists have
been urging elimination of certain Sc
we're restrictions, wlthou success.
There were indications that some
members were inclined to kick over
the traces at the attempt to race
through with the bill, in l0-hour sit
tings. when it may be week or 10
days yet before the senate judiciary
committee concludes hearings. The
occasion for such great haste was
not explained by "dry" leaders, be-
yond the statement that they wanted
to geA the bill out of the way and
forget it. Republican Leader Mon
dell said the measure would be
taken up Monday and kept before
the house until passed.

"Terror Troops," Masters Of
Hungarian Capital, Storm
Garrison and Disarm Bella
Kun's Former Forces.
ULTIMATUM SENT TO
MODERATE" COMMANDER
Council of Government Still
Convinced That Entente Is
Too Weak or Too Unwilling
to Intervene.

Berlin, July 20-(By the Associated
Press)-A new reign of terror ex-
:sts in Budapest, according to a dis
patch from the Hungarian capital to
the Tageblatt, and red terror IN
its worst form is anticipated.
The dispatch says so-called terror
troops" are now masters of the cap
ital. and that they have 'stormed the
garrison, disarmed the troops of the
Bella Kun government and distrlb-
uted arms to "the ragged proleta-
riat."
The leader of the terror troops"
who was Bella Kun's personal
guard of honor, publishes an appeal
for volunteers, and the Peoples
Commissaries Varga and Szamuely
and vice commissary of Foreign Al
fairs Mosesalpary, the new leaders
in control, have sent an ultlmatum
to the. moderate" city commander
of Budapest, Habrich, ordering him
to give up office and turn over the
city to them.
The dispatch says the council OF
government is still convinced that
the entente is too weak or unwilling
for armed Intervention. 1t says also
that the "red army",of Bella Kun
continues to disintegrate.
Food conditions in Budapest are
said to be indescribable and money
is declared to be rapidly falling in
value.
Lost Unit .Flees.
Advices received here from Buda-
pest say that during the launching
of the new Hungarian monitor Marx
on Friday, the monitor Szamos, til,
last unit of the Danube fotilia winch
had remained loyal to Beia Kun,
fled down the Danube and surl en-
dered to the Serbians. The Officers
and men of the crew requested per-
mission to fight against the Hungar-
ian soviet government, and the Serb
ian government transported them Lp
to the Tisza river, southwest of Bu-
dapest, where they we're placed al
the disposal of the Karolyi forces.
The dispatch adds that the ELI
tepte apparently will not proceed
against Bella Kun, but that it las
given permission to Karolyi, who
has not resigned, as has been lc-
ported, to opeen an offensive.
Can't Smuggle Out Speech.
The Budapest correspondent of

In the speech Bella Kun made the
assertion that Hungary was facing

and morale. The crisis in power, he
said, was evidenced by the counter
revolution; that in economies in the

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People of
the United States Averted a
Famine at Home in Spite
OF Low Supplies.

The fact that the people Of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu.
sively that their wal conscience was
thoroughly awakened and hat the
country as a whole stood ready to fol
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar in
Inc four-month period beginning with
July has been 400, 900 ions per month,
a total Of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach It's height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325,0 900 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only 279,-
900 tons In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the iojunctions of the Food
administrator this country would
have been In the throes of a sugar
famine before the end Of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux,
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments Of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton of sugar. By 1t we have been able
to bridge over the period Of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were In sight.
Now the nation Is In a position so
that If we choose we may return to
u normal home use Of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to go
far afield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted ratiOns. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events it
is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
Even though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, mo
American who has knowledge of the
results already obtained in every d.
rection need have one atom of fear
thai democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"

PURCHASING LIME
FOR FARM USE
The Form, Concentration, Fine
ness of Division, and the Con-
dition of the Soil Are Factors
Requiring Consideration.
A Study of the Soil NeutraIzIng
Power of Lime.

The chief point to be observed by
the farmer IN the purchase Of lime Is
the form. The action of each form
must be known under each OF the
many varying conditions. Lime and
limestone are both mineral products,
but the former Is a product of manu-
facture treated In a manner TO make
1t concentrated, which means that It
contains only the elements active In
correcting soil acidity, whereas the
latter contains carbon dioxide amount
ing to approximately oHe-haIf Its
weight, Besides any impurities OF the
original rock from which 1t Is ground.
While there Is no organic fermentation
in the case of mineral materials, yet
the concentrated forms are acted upon
more readily by the natural soil sol
vents, air and water, and other solvent
substances of soils, and, furthermore,
they are more readily and evenly dis
tributed throughout the soil b. the soil
moisture.
Regardless of the form, tineness of
division has an important bearing upon
availability since the finer the material
the greater will be the surface area
exposed to the natural agencies which
cause dislntegration. The particles Of
slaked or hydrated lime are Infinitely
small and there is no question OF their
%solubility on this score. With Amep
stone 1t is a question Of grinding pure
ly mechanical in nature. The applica-
tion of a c%Oarsely ground limestone,
coarser than 100 per cent. through Q
1O-mesh sieve, may not show any re-
suits the first or second season. while
the same substance pulveTized to an
extremely fine powder, 100 peg cent.
through a 60 or 80 mesh sieve. will
show results during the first spason-
that is, its fineness permits Of the
solubility of a considerable portion of
its lime.
The kind of soil to which the lime or
limestone is applied influences the rate
at which they become active in the
soil. A soil which is open and porous,
and thus permits the flee access Of air
and circulation of water, and one
WHICH CoHldinS Il ldFSe portion OF or
ganic matter capable of decay, animal
or vegetable, presents more favorable
conditions for the solubility and activ-
ity of lime and limestone than one
which is close and compact in texture
and purely mineral in its character.
thus preventing the free access Of air
and water, and in which no organic
changes are taking place. In the one
case the conditions are such as TO ia
vor the action of natural agencies,
and in the other they are such as to
retard their action, eve though the
latter type of soil may be more in need
of lime than the former for the indi-
rect advantages which may be Sc
cured.

KEPT PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained A.
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping. Between July l
and October 10 we shipped 65, $3.50, 3O5
bushels. If this rate should continue
until the end of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 100000 bushels of wheat and
-four in terms Of wheat.
The result Of increased production
and conservation efforts in the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton Of hostilities we are able to re-
turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that nave accumulated in Australia.
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have a white loaf at the com.
mon table.
But last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep a
steady stream of wheat and flour NOV
Ing across the sea. We found our
i at h beginning of the harvest
year with an unusually short crop.
wen the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had a bare surplus of
100000 bushels. And We Europe
was facing the probability of a bread
famine-and in Europe bread Is by far
the most important article in the diet.
AL of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. By the first
OF the year we had managed to ship a
little more than so, 900 bushels by
practicing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals, heavy substitution of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only if we sent an additional U.s.
O0O,ooO bushels before July l could he
tax the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was $4,000, 900 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January l and
July 1. Out of a harvest which gave
us only 20.000,0 900 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141, 900 600 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained, and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.

A Soil Treatment for the Tomato Crop.
Lining Not Always Beneficial.

There has been much discussion re-
garding the use of lime on land prior
to planting tomatoes. The best infor-
nation Obtainable seems to point to
the fact that there is a point close to
the neutral line at which tomatoes
grow best. Just where this point is no
n seems to know but il is clearly
understood by most growers and Ey-
pertinent Station workers that it is so
near the neutral line thatliining is al
o always beneficial except when
the soil is known to be alkaline. in
which case the lime is known 90 do no
harm.
The use of lime in growing cap-house
tomatoes has other advantage, than
the mere increase of crop. Ii creates
soil condition favorable to a healthy
growth, making a strong plant far more
capable of resisting the ravages of dis
eases which are so prevalent TODAY.
This will no doubt help to hold down
the cost Of spraying.
