LIMESTONE FOR WHEAT
II. M. Hindes

Are you going to insure your wheat
this fall? You may have planned to
insure by some means against Hes
sion Fly, but after you have saved
your wheat from the Fly, what about
growth and production, and.the seed
ing of clover which you will make in
the spring?
An application of pulverized lime
stone this fall to the wheat ground
after blowing and before planting
time, will make your crop harder
and more thrifty, thus better able to
Withstand the severe weather of win
ter and will actually increase your
yield, besides being of infinite value
to the clover crop to follow.
This aid to the wheat is given pri-
marily because the limestone in neu-
Trailing sourness and acidity, is a
positive benefit to the soil, and any,
thing of benefit to the soil is of
course an aid to the wheat.
Limestone by neutralizing sourness
and acidity promotes nitrifcation and
the nitrogen thus secured gives to
the plant its deep green color and
luxuriant growth.
By the application of limestone
then, you have not only neutralized
the acids found in the soil, but you
have also made available source of
nitrogen which is very cheap and
which will stay in the soil for several
years. In addition to the above, the
seeding of clover which you make in
the spring, will be even more sensi-
tive to acidity, and much more bene-
fitted by supply of nitrogen than will
the wheat. AS a matter Of fact,
there are many seeding failures
which can be attributed only to a lack
of limestone which is so often re-
quired to give such legumes as clover
a successful growth.
The earlier limestone is applied
for the wheat crop the better. Al
very finely pulverized material should
be used, as it goes into solution much
quicker than coarse limestone. Re-
suits recently obtained from the Case
County experiment farm by soils ex-
perts of the Michigan Agricultural
College shows finely pulverized lime
stone to be far superior to coarse
limestone.
After the limestone is applied,
work it thoroughly into the soil with
a harrow or disk. This is important
since to be NOSE effective at once,
limestone must be thoroughly mixed
with the soil particles. This appli-
cation of limestone on the wheat will
continue through number of years,
benefiting each crop as it is grown in
this rotation, and will form thereby
one of the most ideal means of get
ting limestone into the rotation on
any well organized farm.

RAIL RATES, NO CREDIT TOO
MUCH FOR FARMER

Excessively high freight rates
scanty and non-elastic credits, and
the collapse of foreign markets are
held largely responsible for the re-
cent financial condition of the farm
ers, agree county farm bureau men,
bers of Midland, Gratiot, Calhoun,
Saginaw and Shiawassee counties in
reports of community hearings on the
QUESTIONABLE, "What is the matter
with the farmers business?"
Too many middlemen in some lines
of business, farmers forced to sell at
pre-war prices and pay nearly war
time prices for all manufactured
goods, and the fact that nearly every
thing the farmer has to sell won't
bring even cost of production were
given as other contributing causes to
the farmers present distress.
Farmers said that they could not
do business on 60 to 90 day notes
when the nature of their investment
made necessary assured credit from
six months to one year or more. In
stances were cited of freight rates
swallowing whole carloads of produce
and bringing the farmer nothing but
a bill for completion of the freight
payment. Oats, beans, milk, beets,
pork, beef and sugar beets were
shown to be going to market for less
than cost of production.
Remedies suggested by the farmers
were changes in the banking laws and
practices which would grant the
farmer longtime assured credit, a re-
duction in rail rates, granting of
credit to needy foreign countries now
in need of our agricultural products
and a REIMBURSEMENT in prices on the
part of other interests than agricul-
ture.

sented, together with returns from
farm bureau counties in AT other
states, to the Congressional Board of
Inquiry at Washington.

LEADING VARIETIES

In variety tests Red Rock contin-
ues to be the superior variety for
those soils which are fertile enough
to produce such a large hard berry.
The stiffness of the Red Rock straw
makes it variety for those heavy
soils where loding is likely to occur.
The American Banner has many
times demonstrated its superiority
over Michigan white wheats. It is
now thought that if the soil is run
and lacking in fertility that the
American Banner will outyield the
Ned Rock. In the Thumb territory
it has been repeatedly observed that
a white wheat outyields the red, con-
sequently farmers in the Thumb are
advised to obtain pure seed of the
American Banner variety. James

SOME GOOD SHORTHORNS
IN SHIAWASSEE COUNTY;
ID CHOICE HERDS LISTED

While Shiawassee County has been
known to be strong dairy county,
few have realized that there are a
goodly number Of high grade Short
horn herds in the county.
AS far as we can ascertain there
are eighteen herds of registered
Shorthorns in this county. The quail
ity of the stock is generally high and
the Tuscola county farmers while on
tour through the county especially
commented upon the high quality Of
the Shorthorn herds visited.
We give below list of the breed
ers of Shorthorns in Shiawasse
county, together with points of in
terest concerning those herds, where
we have been able to get the infor-
nation.
S. E. Booth G. Sons, Owosso R-3,
have the distinction of having very
uniform herd of Shorthorns with a
son Of the great sire Avondale at the
head of their herd. The offsprings
of this sire are proving his value as
breeder and Mr.. Booth has some
young bulls and heifers which will be
heard from in the show ring. Messrs.
Booth & Sons aim to breed Short
horns which are profitable and adapt
ed to the average Michigan farm
conditions, and one has only to view
their herd to know that they are &C
complishing their purpose. They
have about twenty head on their
farm three miles south of Owosso on
the Morrice road.
One of our largest breeders of
Shorthorns in the county are H. B.
Peters and Son, Garland, who have
SO head of Shorthorns which are
bred in the purple. Messrs. Peters
and Son have won many premiums
on their stock in strong competition
and their stock shows their breeding.
