DELAY IN ORDERING
 LIME MAY BE FATAL
Last-Minute Deliveries Can No
 Longer Be Made.
Dealers and Manufacturers Should Have Advanced Information as to
 Farmers Needs-Transpor-
 tatlon ls Uncertain.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agricuituro)
 Farmers probably will not be able to secure lime to meet their agricul- tural needs If they wait about order ing 1t until they are ready to apply it- Under old conditions, companies sup plying agricultural lime recognized spring and late summer as the two periods of demand, and farmers have ordinarily ordered their lime at the time they wished to apply 1t, in order to save time and work by including hauling from the railroad station and applying to the land In one operation. Under present conditions lime manu- lecturers are no longer able to adjust their business to this practice. 0w- ing to shortage of labor In their own plants and transportation difficulties, last-minute deliveries can no longer be made with certainty. .
 For these reasons the department of agriculture urges that spring needs be anticipated and that orders for lime be placed at once. Dealers and man. ufacturers should have advance in- formation as to farmers needs so that orders can be combined and car space used to the best advantage. Delay in ordering may result in failure to ob-, tain the lime until too late.
 1t is, moreover, the desire of the railroad administration that the sea- son for delivery of lime, which has heretofore been from March to May, be extended to include the period from January to May, in order to relieve, as far as possible, the existing car short age.

County Farm Bureau member, and with over 100000 members in sight this will give total of at least $5O0,000 with which to represent the business of agriculture, the biggest business in the United States today and one which heretofore has so often been made to bear the burdens which rightfully belonged to other interests.
 Pres. Howard is a plain spoken farmer who shows physically that his life has been spent in manual labor on the farm, but his keen in- sight into national and world condi- tions also shows an active mind and sound judgment which can be de- pended upon to see that nothing dis honest or underhanded is put over on the farmers.
 The American Farm Bureau Fed eration will stand as a bulwark against foul play in politics and business. Its motives will be pure, but it will fight the farmers battles when necessary to protect their in terests. It will be to agriculture, what the National Chamber of Com merce is to the commercial interests and what the American Federation of Labor is to organized labor, yet radicalism has never been and never will be characteristic of American farmers. Only safe and sane judg- ment on the part of Federation off, cers and members of the Executive Board will ever receive the un- flinching support of the State Feder- ations, County Farm Bureaus and the individual farmer members. Farmers know the worthlessness of runaway team and they have chosen their national leaders as they choose their work horses,-for de- probability and results, not for the Show Ring.
 Let us stand behind the team.

New Era for Farmers

The agricultural dream is coming true. The principles that have been advocated for years by real farm leaders are now being put into effect and agriculture is represented in a business-like manner by the Ameri- can Farm Bureau Federation. This statement is known to be true by every person who attended the New England Conference of Farm Bu- reau Leaders, held at Springfield, Mass. on April 26th, when Pres. J. R. Howard and Sec. J. W. Coverdale told of many things in which the American Federation has already represented the agricultural interests of the country.
 Pres. Howard sh ows by his inti- mate knowledge of national and world conditions that he is we'll qualified to speak fo~ American Agricultural and with the hearty support of over 100000 farm bu- reau members in this country he will be able to gain proper recognition for agriculture as a business. No longer will commercial and manu- featuring interests alone be repre- sented on every committee and com mission appointed to study and rec ommend methods of solving state and national problems. Too often in the past, have such committees and commissions been ignorant of or prejudiced against the interests of agriculture, and farmers have suff- cred accordingly. Pres. Towards statement as to the farmers inter- est in transportation problems, trade relations, methods Of distribu- ton, crop statistics, and legislation prove that the American Federation is prepared to tackle the problems which have always been so big that they have frightened farmers in the past. The world was not made in a minute and the Federation cannot do everything at once, but bureaus have already been established to take charge of work along each of these lines and if enough money is made available by the County Farm Bureaus, results are sure to be forth coming.
 Next year each State Federation will be expected to pay into the treasury of the American Fedora tion, the sum of fifty cents for each

A shortcut path across a field to an electric car line was blocked by the owner, who fenced 1t with wire and turned cattle in to graze. Since the path saved a great many steps. he received many protests. The own CT gave permission to the pedestrians to put in a gate at each end of the path that would permit them to pass, but prevent the escape of cattle. This was done in the manner illustrated.
 An opening was cut in the fence, IF feet wide, a post placed on each side, and third post midway between

When to Cultivate Corn

The best answer to the question of how frequently corn should be cultivated, say specialists of the United States Department of Agri- culture, is that it should be cultiva- ted often enough to keep down weeds and to maintain constantly a loose soil mulch till the corn has at tained it's growth. To this end a greater number of cultivations will be necessary when rains at intervals of about a week cause the surface soil to run together and crust. This crust must be broken and the soil mulch restored, or excessive run-off and evaporation will soon rob the soil of it's moisture. tA
