Use Lime on Acid Soil.

All soils are either acid, neutral or al
kaline. Most of the soils in the State
are acid; sour, as we call it, or the ele-
ments contained therein are in acid solu-
tions, and it istfor the naturalization of
this acid in the most part that we use the
lime
Conditions producing acid or sour soil
would be, briefly, teaching, old soil from
old rocks, freshly decaying organic mat
| ter, removal of crops, and, to some ex-
tent, the use of fertilizers.
The relation of plants to soil acidity
will always be one of the best ways we
have to tell the degree of acidity con-
tanned therein. Laboratory tests are USE
full, but not always practical. Litmus
paper is perhaps the most in use of any,
and is very practical.
| Plants doing well on acid soils are
strawberry, BURBERRY and weeds, such as
sorrel, bluettes. goldenrod, etc. Plants
that do we'll on either acid. alkaline or
neutral soils are potatoes, oats and some
| of the cereals Those demanding dis
tinctively alkaline soil are alfalfa, clover,
peas, beans and mange-wurzel beet.
The most economical material we have
1neutraliZing the soil is lime or calcium
in its various forms. Lump, burnt, hyd-
rated or ground limestone, any calcium,
in combination with an alkaline, Is good,
but those in combination with an acid
such as calcium sulphide or land plaster
are not desirable.
The amounts to apply depend upon the
degree Of acidity and the analysis of the
material. General recommendation would
be from one to two and one-half tons of
ground limestone. 1900 to 5000 pounds
of land lime, 1000 to 1900 pounds of
hydrated lime per acre, on medium to
quite strong acid soil.
The best time to apply is the preceding
fall or the spring that land is to be seed
ed, either broadcast or with drill. In case
of the former, harrow Immediately.

Auto Owners, Attention |!

A few weeks ago The Journal advised
those who owned automobiles to study
he new Motor Law which will be IN eff
feet the second week in July. We re-
peat that advice, and the following will
show why we do so:
Secretary of State Frank w. Ball, in
whose hands now rests the responsibility
of the enforcement of the automobile
laws through the inspectors which he ap-
points, says that just so far as it is physi-
cally possible to enforce these laws. it
will be done. No favors will be sho .yn
any violator.
The Seer etary says: liam telling every
inspector that the Secretary of State ex-
poets results from each one of the motor
vehicle inspectors appointed by him and
in order that he may know what each in
spector is doing to improve the observ-
ance> of the motor vehicle laws in his ter
litory, it will be necessary hereafter for
each to make weekly report to my Of
flee. covering in a general way the &C
tivities of the entire week.
This report must furnish informat alton
as to the towns visited, as to length of
time spent in each place and as to the
general conditions in regard to motor We
hicle traffic in each town.
"The secretary will demand from each
inspector courteous treatment of the pub
lie in every instance. In the performance
of his duties, however, there must be no
discrimination etween persons. Every
user of motor vehicle must be M de to
observe the laws, preferably by persua-
sion, but when this method fails, then
there is no other alternative than to bring
the offender before court. Before resort
ing to court action, the inspecto must be
sure of his ground and when in doubt, he
should communicate with the Secretary
of State
Inspectors are instructed to Immediate
ly get in touch with local enforcement
officers in their territory and render them
every assistance possible, as it is urgent
ly desired by the secretary that there be
cordial CO operation between the inspect
ors and the local officers.
''In every case the inspector is given
special assignment by the secretary of
State, prompt action is expected and a
report must be made by the inspector.
each inspector is instructed also to
pay especial attention to the headlight
law and to use his best endeavors to see
to it that the rights of the many who are
strictly observing this feature law are
protected against those who persist in vi
olating it and he is made to understand
that he must not hesitate to cause the
apprehension of those who continue to
use the glazing headlights"

Need for National Economy

Secretary of the Treasury Mellon per-
FORMED public service soon after he took
over the office in warning the country to
practice the most rigid economy, and re-
minding the people once more of the vast
mountain of national debt. Other cabinet
officers have emphasized the situation in
their public utterances, and it behooves
the public to think deeply on the subject
in the days that are before US. Interests
of all kinds are clamoring before Con-
gress for appropriations of various sorts.
Many of the projects are meritorious,
while some have little to recommend
them and should not be given considera-
ton at any time.
In the present financial situation of the
country Congress must pause and con-
slider the possible effect on the treasury
and business in general, of any proposal
for enlarged expenditures. As an aid to
proper realization of the financial obli-
cations of the government there is pre-
scented herewith statement showing the

That Is the vast sum that must be COL

of the nation are to be kept and the fed

ment of efficiency. The war is over, but
its tremendous cost must be met if the
national credit is to be sustained. Fifteen
billion dollars is far Crater sum than
any nation ever was called upon to raise
in q months of peace, but it is the task
that is set for America to perform, and it
cannot be avoided.

A Treaty Will Follow.

As had been generally expected, the
Knox resolution repeating the declaration
of the existence of war with Germany
has been adopted by the Senate. The
division was 49 to %, all the Republicans
voting for the resolution except one who
was paired in opposition, while three Dem
ocrats voted and two were paired in its
favor. The vote was preceded by long
and sharp debate IN the course of which
some interesting statements were made
ty Senator Lodge, who had charge of the
resolution. In answer to the argument
that the adoption of the measure amount
ed to betrayal of the nations beside
which the United States had fought, the
Massachusetts, senator said that they mad
specifically provided that they could
make peace with Germany without our
assent and had in fact made peace. He
asked whether it was to be supposed that
we would 60 on remaining in q state of
war when all the other countries were at
peace. Special interest attached to his
statement that treaty with Germany
would probably follow the resolution.
Senator Lodge said later that he dill not
intend to give the impression that new
treaty of peace with Germany would be
negotiated to take the place of the Yer
sailles treaty, but merely that it would
be necessary to make the usual treaty OF
amity, commerce, ETC., which in practice
follows the restoration of peace between
nations. His statement regarding the
amount of change that would have to be
made in the Versailles treaty in order tt
eliminate the League of Nations covenant
and other provisions to which the Senate
majority was opposed was regarded a:
affording little consolation to those wht
had hoped that we might "engage unde
the existing treaty" with necessary mod
ifcations. 1t seems clear, however, from
statements made in press dispatches, tina
the administration has not thus far con
cluded that the resubmission of the Yer
sailles treaty in an amended form is i'm
possible.

ENVOY AT BOUT
For the First Time in History of Sport
 That An Official is Sent by a Gov


 Paris, May 13 (By the Associated Press) France will be represented officially at the boxing contest be- tween Georges Carpenter and Jack Dempsey for the worlds heavyweighr title in Jersey City on July ?. It will be the first time in the history of the prize ring that the government of Q country has sent an official represen- tative to an international boxins match.
 The National Touring office is ol- ganizing a voyage to New York on a steamer leaving June IS, the passen- gers on which will be partly the off, cial guests of the government. Gas ton Vidal, under secretary of state fo, physical education, probably will be the governments representative.
 The party will live aboard the steamer, which will be docked in ter sey City, and will not sail on the re- turn journey until July 5, in order to enable it to take part in the Fourth of July celebration. The name of the vessel has not yet been made public, but it is understood the French liner Leopoldina will be used.

he is expected to leave, although his
attorney declares O'Callaghan will
remain here until he considers it safe
to return to Ireland" Quite strong
talk. Mr.. Doyle, the attorney argues:
'The decision of the State Depart
ment that O'Callaghan is not d refu-
gee reverses every other decision
where this principle was involved.
Secretary ofState Hughes based it
on the ground that he was not pur-
sued in this country by the British
Government, nor his surrender asked
for. The fact that he was pursued in
his own country and his life endan-'
gered because of his political opinions
would be sufficient for seeking refuge
In this country. Such was the de-
cision of our Government in the case
of Louis Kossuth and other patriots
who fled from Europe during previous
revolutions"
Under the terms prescribed by the
department he will be permitted to
leave as he came, he having been
classed by the previous administra-
ton as seaman and admitted with
out a passport. At that time the de-
partment took the ground that he vi
olated the passport regulations and
should be 'deported, whereas his
counsel contended he was an employee
on the vessel that brought him.

UNCLE SAM AND o'cALLAGHAN

In view of the futility of govern
ment interference with the tour in
this country of Lord Mayor O'Calla-
CHAN of Cork and his open defiance of
the passport law, the Springfield Re-
publican a few weeks ago was moved
to remark: 1.-THE lord mayor of Cork
has licked to a fragile the country
that won the world war;"
Last week our State department
decided that he is not entitled to
freedom on the ground of being a po-
lidcal refugee and immigration in
spectors have been instructed to take
o'Callaghan into custody in event he
is found here after June 9Th. Con-
gresham Gallivan declares that is
sending him back to certain death, a
chance which Mayor Callaghan must
have foreseen when he set out for
this country to spread propaganda in
the interests of the Irish Republic,
and to testify before the self appoint
ed committee for investigating con-
ditions in Ireland.
1t will be recalled that he came to
this country as a seaman and as such

WHO THE FRIENDS ARE

Looking back over railroad and
other corporation history, stock
holders will not fail to realize that
they have suffered from ill-advlSed
managers more than they have from
the utterances of those who pictured
the greed of corporations and COM
binations. The best friends of the
corporations were those who en-
deayored to eliminate the evils and
retain the advantages of the cor
poratiop method of financing large
Undertakings. A similar experience
will be recorded in the history Oh
labor unions. Unionism will surfer,
not from the attacks of it's enemies,
but from the misguided management
of it's supposed friends. The reac-
ton will result in either public dis
favor or legislative restrictions, or
both, for the public as a whole Will
not long permit it's interests to be
sacrificed and it's rights to be in
fringed upon in order that few may
promote their selfish desires" -Jona
than Bourne, Jr.
Ex-senator Bourne's conclusions
are inevitable. When the chickens
have all come home to roost we can
count them and consider who
Matched and sent them out. And
when this is done we inevitably find
that the best friends of man or of
mans enterprises is he who strives
to have the evil eliminated. Rail-

a permanent advantage. Fair is

lasting benefit; it is CAPABLE only of
