will do for the crop but there is one other thing for which Lime is need.
 Most lands in South Franklin are very sour unless they have been treated for it and suppose many of the lands Tn the North. ern section are too. Lime is a good substance to correct this trouble. Now let me give you a few hints why it needs correct ing. Clover. Corn. Fruit, Truck and most Legumes will not do what they should on a sour soil. In fact it is almost impossible to grow Clover and Alfalfa at all on land that is very sour or even a little sour. Lands that sour generally run together badly and will not let the water through. In times of drought it will not stand the dry weather nearly so well as land not so sour. Lime will cor rect this trouble by neut- ralizing the acid. It will also make land drain better by making the clay land looser and will make the land stand drought better by this action and making sandy land more compact. Everyone knows these are the main troubles with the two classes of soils. The clay is too compact and the sand is too loose Lime will correct these con- ditions. You need not buy the builders lime as the common ground limestone will do just as well. Had l the space could. show you the reactions of the two.
 Ground Limestone can be had for not more than $2.OO per acre unless you live too far from a railroad station. It would re- quire about 4 900 lbs per acre if all lands in South Franklin are as sour as mine tested. l can tell you in my next letter why these soils are liable to become acid and probably will.
 So Long until next time. N

 your solemn obligations. No organization" he tells the min. CTS, can endure that "set up its own strength as being '.su- perior to it's plighted faith or it's duty to society at large"
 The president frankly says that there may be in the award of the Bituminous Coal Commission some inequalities that should be corrected. But he offers. so soon as the striking miners shall return to work, to invite the Scale Committee of the operators and the miners to meet for the purpose of adjusting any inequa- lities that they may agree should be adjusted. It is to be hoped that under the United States and the president of the United States and the presiders of the United Mine Workers all the men in this largest of labor organi- zations will be willing to await that deliberate consideration of their grievances that is suggested by MT.

Wilson ApeaIs. to The
 Miners

That telegram to the striking miners of Illinois and Indiana was written by the old Woodrow Wilson. whose knowledge of the English. language is such that his state papers are classics. The president appealed in most telling way to the better side of the miners. and that he won sat- isfactory results is shown hy the statement of John l.. Lewis. president of United Mine Workers of America. Lewis said he was prof oundly impressed by the presidents telegram and would issue a mandatory order instruct all miners now on strike in Ind jana and Illinois to return to work immediately.
 The president in his telegram to the miners expressed deep re- gret that they had engaged in a strike in violation of the terms of the award of the Bit luminous. Coal Commission and your agreement with the govern ment that the findings of the commission would be accepted by you as final and binding.

Some Russellville Jottings

While it seems very few ap-
 preciated the first article under the above half enough to say so still at least one was plea ,ed with it. I must thank Henry" for his kind remarks in regard to the article on seed selection and again state these articles will not be original but will contain what has been picked up in the classroom from time to time.
 Now for this week 1 will begin by saying that Franklin County asa whole is making a great mistake. in fact several of them, The soil of the county would be as productive as any country if given the same chance. Indeed firmly believe there is no soil anywhere which will produce as much if the soils of this county were properly built up and cared for. Now the science ofthis reads like this. There are about ten el- ements needed by the soil to pro. duce plants. namely: Oxygen. Hydrogen. Carbon. Nitrogen Potassium. Phosphorus. Gale ium, Iron, Sulphur. Magnesium. Sodium, and Silicon. Of these Oxygen. Hydrogen. and Carbon are taken in sufficient quanti- ties from the air and water which the plant naturally takes up. Iron Sulphur. Magnesium. Sodium, and Silicon are generally present in large enough quantities or else are in the common fertilizers we use so need no attention paid to them. This leaves Nitrogen. Phosphorus. Potassium. and Calcium to be accounted for. Of these Nitrogen comes from the air and is always striving to get back there. In the free form it is not avaible to the plants by any means. Every time a farmer burns trash. weeds. or grass he liberates Nitrogen in the free form. Nitrogen is most often deficient in the soil especially in the hills of the County. There are three ways to add it to the soil and of the three I would most recconlmed the use of leg tunes with barnyard mannre. The two are almost equally com- mendable. Both add Nitrogen and Humus. And Humus is just decaying vegetable matter. It is composed largely of casbon but also carries a large percent of available Nitrogen. Humus

and also keeps the land from
 baking or crusting to sny large extent. It is the humus that turns the clay soils to dark 1 color. But to return to Nitrogen as l said before there's 3 ways to add it to the soil and of these Legumes and manure are the most commendable. Legumes have the power Gin cooperation with tiny bacterea in their r oots) to withdraw Nitrogen from the air in the soil and store it up in the form of a Nitrate. When the plant decays the. Nitrogen is freed in the form of Nitric acid which then unites with some base like Lime or Sodium to form Nitrate in which form it is available to the plant.
 The Barnyard manure adds Nitrogen. Phosphorus. and Pot. tassium in some organic com- pound which breaks up in the same way. The Nitrogen being changed into a Nitric Acid and then into a Nitrate. Nitrogen gives the plant it's weed and also the dark green color we so often associate with good growth. Phosphorus makes the fruits and Potassium and Calcium stiffen the stalk. The third way of adding Nitrogen to soil and the only other way to really add Pot tassium. Phosphoru'. and Cal. cium is buying it in the form of a fertilizer. Nitrate of Soda is by test the quickest acting and most efficient of all Nitrogen containing fertilizers.
 Another important thing with Nitrogen is to save what you al- ready have in the soil. If there be no crop on the land to take up the Nitrogen as it is changed in.. to a Nitrate (the only re dily so- luble form) it will leach out or evaporate so it is nee essary to have some plant to take it up as fast as it forms if possible For this purpose a winter cover crop is very valuable. It will take up the most of the Nitrates in the soil and convert them into an or ganic compound thus saving it to the farmer and adding Humus to the soil. Phosphorus. Potassium Calcium are metals that are better known by their most common compounds which are Phosphoric Acid. Potash. and Lime respectively. l have a!- ready told you what the four
