LIME IMPROVES MOST SOILS
Application Should Be Made Consd.
erably in Advance for Seeding
Time for Glover.

Lime In some form improves most
soils for bluegrass and white clover,
and unless soils are already well sup
piled with lime 1t should be added at
the rate of not less than 100 pounds
per thousand square feet. The appli.
cation should be made considerably In
advance Of seeding time. Applications
Of lime are Of very doubtful value for
the bent grasses or the fescues unless
the soils are very acid or contain large
quantities Of poorly rotted organic
matter.
Preliminary preparation, by which Is
meant the thorough stirring of the sur.
face foot of soil, should begin several
weeks prior to seeding to allow suf
ficient time for the ground to become
thoroughly settled and for the weed
seeds to terminate.
Information concerning making and
maintaining lawn is contained in

the bureaus specialists the establish

The bureaus specialists also believe
that all weight per bushel laws relat-

repealed for the reason that there Is
no definite relation between dry meas

Robert Pellerln is manager of the Danielson team and he declares that he has many fast games schedul- ed for this winter and that the opener on Saturday night will be hummer"
 The Skaters are reported to have a fast outfit, not the least important man being none other than Connolly of Dartmouth college, who has gained a big reputation as an all star athlete and particularly last basketball player.
 On the local team will be Waldron, Knowles, Elliott, Reddy and Marland, stars of last seasons team and who
 are great faYorltes with local followers of the sport. Manager Pellerin states
 that he may use Chic" Gagnon of Holy Cross college. that youthful ath-
 iete who has gained much fame around Worcester Boston and other places where he has appeared in either base bali, football or basketball togs. There will be a preliminary game, affording a double attraction for the evening, between two teams made up of local players. This promises to
 develop much excitement owing to the rivalry that has been created. The bleacher seats on the stage and at the side of the hall will be complet- ed before Saturday. They are being built as solidly as carpenters know now and will afford a seating capaci- .ty for nearly 1000 people.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS ACTIVE.

New York. Nor. 1s-Liquldation of securities on the stock exchange made fgrther psrceptible progress today, the reaction being again accompanied by un- sediment in various branches of com merca and industry and additional con- fusion in the leading commodity mar kets.
 Today's losses were sustained in the fnce of the easiest money conditions known for many weeks. Call loans opened at [ par cent and relaxed to 6 per ccrL during the mid-session. while time funds were more freely offered than at any per.oi since the early autumn.
 It was pointed out. however, that the ease Of money could hardly be regarded as a fu'ish factor, inssTuch as this condition vas almost wholly due to the release Of ero-~ols amounts of cash re- sult.ng from stock market liquidation.

NJ. A. ELEVEN IN BEST OF CONDITION

The N. F. A. team scrimmaged Thurs campus, using their new formations against the scrubs with telling effect. This was the first workout on these formations, which were created by the Academy board of strategy to be used against BuIkeley in their second meeting Satur- day at Plant field, New London, and Coach Mckay and the students were much surprised and delighted at the smoothness and precision with which the boys ran through the plays
 On Tuesday the rain drove the team Indoors. where they were given skull prac- tice by the coach, and a little limbering exercise in the school gym.
 BuIkeley is working it's hardest every afternoon, till darkness calls halt, with the hope of snatching the game at New London and making 1920 go down in his- tory as tie year. With one game safe ly tucked away, and with confidence at it's highest mark. N. F. A. will not be forced down 10 a tie year without 8 terrific struggle. And when the Academy eleven tries 1t invariably wins and those who have followed the team throughout the season will agree.
 Crocker Is back at center again and the line feels more at home. In last Sat- urday's game they were lost little with out their good natured teammate.
 If the weather remains unchanged, Coach Mckay will today give his chasers their last workout before the big game and the last of the season, as there re- mains only the Thanksgiving game after Saturday. and this game is usually played without practice.

March. 169 12 to 169 3-4. Corn lost 1 172 to 3-S and oats 1-2@5S to 1 1-4. In provisions the outcome varied from 50 cents decline to 20 cents advance.
 Wheat showed much rallying power un- till corn and oats began in earnest to give way to general selling that later forced both feedstuffs to the lowest prices yet this season Increased offer ings from the big new 1920 yield of corn appeared to give the bears an ad- vantage and to discourage numerous holders. Under these circumstances and with new cuts in the price of sugar and other commodities, 8 rally due to word of export business In wheat yesterday proved to be only transient. On the de- cline March delivery of wheat touched 167 just 1-2 cent under any previous fig ures yet for that month. Then a little better support developed and the mar ket recovered somewhat as the session drew to a finish.
 In the corn market the weight of gen eral commission house selling was add ed to by pressure from a leading trader who has been conspicuous of late on the bear side. Oats followed closely the ac- tion of corn.
 Provisions for the most part sympathiz- ed with the weakness of grain and hogs. Packers sold lard.
