lem in some sections Of IhinosA Ohs0
and Virginia. The plan followed In
these states enables the farmer, cosa.
ing to town with wagon or truck LOAD
Of produce, to haul load of limestone
back to his farm, instead Of returning
with an empty vehicle, and thus sup.
ply his needs at little expense in time
and labor. Limestone associations
have been formed by farmers in q
number of counties In Illinois to en-.
courage the use of limestone and for
having it stored In bins or warehouses
for the benefit of members and the
general public. The expense Of erect.

thought advisable to build limestone

point Is to have pulverized limestone

farmer can get any amount he wants

Just now the need for having lirnep

reason that lime is necessary in grow.
Ing peanuts, the most valuable crop

the cotton belt. The planters OF Vir.
ginia, the state which ranks third IN
peanut production, and where this
crop has been grown commercially
since the Civil War, consider lime very
necessary Ia peanut soils, A bulletin
issued by the Virginia Agricultural Ex.
pertinent Station states that peanut
soils should be lined once in four
years with 1000 pounds of burnt lime,
or 1000 pounds Of ground limestone,
and 2C0 or 400 pounds of acid phos-
plate should be applied in the rows at
the time Of planting the crop" Or.

known that there is an abundance In

In bulletin issued by the Michigan
Agricultural College on lime and its
uses and functions in soils, the state
nlents are made that Lime was used
more than three thousand years ago
IN parts of Europe to improve soils, :"
and that sin some Of our Eastern
States lining has been practiced since
the earlier stages of the agricultural
development and its use has gradually
spread until it is added to the soil to
a greater or less extent as far west
w1rd as the region of lighter precipi-
tatlon."
Lime was used on farms of the
South more than fifty years ago, and
with excellent results, but only in re-
cent years has Its value in soil and
crop improvement work become gener-
ally known. DR.. Fl. A. Morgan, Presi-
dent of the University Of Tennessee,
and one Of our most eminent agricul-
tural authorities, says: "The heavy
annual rainfall of the South teaches the
soil Of lIsne to such an extent that
clovers can not be satisfactorily grown
and indeed the yields Of nearly all the
common crops are reduced, An up
plication of two tons Of ground lime
stone per acre once in, say six years,
can bring about astonishing results"
Thus we see that the lime needs Of
soils are recognized In all actions, and
Il Ii plainly apparent that EVERY Of
fort should be made to supply these
needs.
Some Illustrations.

and osber Southeastern States, nns
Aslds Ok alfalfa, clover and the grasses
whore 4 few years ago there were
called and quilted hillsides, or sandy
soils impoverished by clean eult!ya-
ton, and, upon inquiry, learn that In
every case the change was brought
about through the use of agricultural
limestone which made legume raising
possible. Such object lessons IN a
county show what can be done with
the soils OF the whole county, and Of
all counties In these states.
With clover and the grasses-geod
hay fields and permanent pastures
cattle raising can be made to double
the farm incomes Of the South. and the
production OF such forage crops means
the Improvement and conservation Of
soil fertility and larger yields OF other
CrOOs that follow.
Limestone Should BE Stored In BIns
or Warehouses.
The use Of agricultural limestone for
the Improvement OF soils and crops
would be more general If arrange
nnents were made for storing this ma
terial In bins or warehouses at conve-
nlent points.
The farmer who can buy and handle
pulveNzed limestone, as shipped by
car loads, can not always get the ma
teFial when needed on account OF ear
shortage or other difficulties which de-
lay shipments, while others are de-
TERED from supplying the lime needs
az their soils because Of their inability
to use large quantities at one time.

By JAMES J. coRBETr

0TlHE reported Jess Willard state
 ment that Jack Dempsey's victory.
 sS over him in Toledo was "an acci- dent pure and simple" is certainly a thou sand miles from the truth. Any attempt to belittle the victory of Dempsey cer- tainly is most unsportsmaniike And l have certain doubts whether Willard actually made those remarks.
 There is no question about the fact that Dempsey so far outclassed Willard on July that there was absolutely no basis for compar1son between the two. Any allegation by Willard that Demp- seys triumph was achieved with one punch-that it was fiuke-is consider ably incorrect.
 There have been many instances in ring history where one blow-a lucky one has won fight for man when he was on the point of being defeated. But in Willards case it is far different One punch may have hurt Willard consider ably and dazed him. But he had suffi- cient time from the second it landed un- til the towel was tossed into the ring, to recover. The very fact that he did not, and that he waged no real fight after ward, is the best tip-off in the world that he wasn't in Dempsey's class. Dempsey whipped Willard by beating him down with a hurricane of blows. If one swing of Denpsey's had dropped Willard for the full count, there may have been a nance for the Willard alibi But in that fight Willard never landed real blow and Dempsey hit. the Kansas giant when and where he willed.
 If lucky blows are to be discussed, the real lucky one was that which huge Jim Jeffries landed in 1900. I had him whipped for twenty-two rounds. In the twenty-third he made swing for my jaw and the punch landed and knocked me cut. That is what can be called a fortunate punch, for it gave to Jeff a knockout victory over me just at a time when it seemed that I could not lose the twenty-five round fight.
 In 1897, after I secured a tremendous lead in joints over Bob Fitzsimmons, he damned through a blow to my stomach It dropped me, and before the wind came back to me I was counted out. That i. another punch that can be reckoned oi the lucky variety There are hundreds of other instances of the same kind in the annals of pugilism, and they can be re- garded as real lucky blows.
 Hut in the Dempsey-Willard instance ii was radically different. Dempsey stepped

Barons Open
 Redwood
 For 6 Games

The Barons, bearing the scars of dis astrous battle, will return to their na- tive grounds tomorrow. A somewhat un- profitable series, from Baronial stand point will be completed with the Nash ville Vols today. Tomorrow Moleys men will open weeks stay at Redwood park.
 The Mobile Bears will play here Mon day, Tuesday, "wednesday and Thursday. The Bears have won three out of the four games already played. Bob Coleman $ outfit shows promise of making things hot in the first division in the pennant race this season.
 New Orleans will be here Friday and Saturday. The Pelicans have won one and lost three out of their four games played.
 It seems to be the same old story with the Barons, Moley's men are a hard hit ting set, and each game collect their full quota of hits and runs. On the other hand the Baronial twirlers are being touched for just a few more hits than the Barons are getting, and are scoring just q few more runs. The result is in- evitable.
 However, the season IS young yet has hardly Lad it's beginning. Too much stock must rot be taken in the first month s showing Of the inherent teams, as d r eighth place club at the beginning of June still has chance to win the pen- nant.
 The last game of the series with the Vols will be played this afternoon. At present the count stands three in favor of Nashville and one in favor of Bir- mingham. The Vols have cinched the series.
 After their weeks stay here the Ba- rcns hit the road for another week, play ing in New Orleans Sunday.

in and landed to WilIard's body. It was
 a terrific wallop that hurt the giant.
 Then he stepped away, pranced in and smashed him son the jaw. He hit the third time and Willard went down. But the blow did not put him out. Willard got up and resumed fighting. There is where his remarkable endurance powers came to his help He had been hit hard enough on each occasion to put an or dinary man to sleep for three minutes. The punches had rocked Willard and had hurt him. But so wonderful was his ability to take punishment that he came back for more.
 And so Dempsey. was forced to beat Willard down. and that isn't a lucky been identified with the ring game, I recall no instance when man knocked down another seven times in one round and then did not win the fight in that round with a knockout
 If there was any luck connected with 1 Dempsey it would have asserted itself | in the first round. Tn fact think that Dempsey was extremely unlucky In the l first round I saw that battle, watched every move made, and 1t is my opinion ! that Willard was really knocked out on I two occasions in the first round.
 | The only reason, in my opinion, that Dempsey did not triumph in the first is because the referee was very excited and | failed to begin his count when he should | have done so. As result, Willard was | benefited by the so-called Tong count. :" I And thus was saved from losing his championship in the first round.
 1 Perhaps Jess Willard made no such statement attributed to him. But if he 1 did. it seems rather strange that he should attempt to explain defeat in such a fashion. For Dempsey won because he l was the superior fighter; Dempsey won because he demonstrated on that day, as
 l he has on many others, that he Is one

 Santa Fe, against whom the local team was shooting a special contest, won the first of three matches, the two
 remaining matches not being heard from yet. Jacksonville has been de- feated in the special tilt with the lo- calls and have ordered medals for the
