Lime PAYS at Present Cost.

Some farmers who would like to
use lime on their land hesitate to do
so because of present rather low val
ue of farm products. Encouraging as
surance on this point, however, comes
from P. F. Schowengerdt of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture, who
backs up his statement with definite
figures.
The Missouri Experiment Station
has been conducting experiments with
the use of limestone for a number of
years on several different types of
soil in the state. The average in
crease in the yield of corn, oats,
wheat and clover from the application
of limestone has been sufficient to
pay good net profit ON the cost of
lining under present economic condi-
tions.
The average of all these expert
ments shows that 81 invested in lin
ing has returned $1.50 in actual crop
increase. In this calculation the cost
of lime is figured at $4 per ton spread
on the land, including cost of lime,
freight, hauling and spreading. The
crop values are figured as follows
corn 40c per bushel, oats 30c per
bushel, and clover hay $40 per son.
Limestone can Ibe applied in a great
many communities at cost of 81 or
less per ton. If farmers have soils
that need lime to make clover succeed,
it will be paying proposition to ap-
ply the lime now.

BRYAN URGES A RADICAL
AS LEADER IN SENA TIE

the one hand and the radicals Of both
parties on the other.
Mr.. Bryan is said to have been very
much encouraged in this belief by the
statements Of his sympathizers that
at least fifteen of the forty-three
Democratic Senators who will sit in
the next Congress will take the
radical end OF the argument and prob
ably be found giving aid. comfort and
support to an equal number Of Re-
publican Senators of the same turn of
mind.
The leadership of these partisan
radical groups will undoubtedly cause
deep concern to President Harding on
the one hand and Woodrow Wilson
on the other hand. The selection of
a man to operate the Republican ma
chine with as little friction as possible
will probably not be any more diff
cult than that which confronts the
successor of Senator Underwood. The
radicals in the Democratic party prom
Use to be quite as aggressive as those
on the Republican side who will at
tempt to destroy the leadership of
President Harding.
The former President and present
acknowledged leader of the Demo-
cratic party has sedulously refrained
from mixing in the contest over the
leadership of his party in either House
Of Congress. His support has been in
voked by the supporters of both Mr..
Simmons and Mr.. Robinson. The ex-
tent of his participation up to the
present tipe has been to express his
qualification through letters to Demo-
Gratis elected to the Senate and as
Governors of two or three States,
notably Mr.. Smith in New York, and
Mr. Edwards in his own State of New
Jersey.
Advocates of the modification of the
prohibition laws predict that Mr.. Will
son will express his sympathy with
their purpose because of his indorse-
ment of Mr. Smith and Gov. Edwards.
Mr.. Bryan who will certainly take
issue with Mr.. Wilson over the prohi-
bition irritant, has not congratulated
aither. man.

Thomas j. Walsh of Montana for
party leader in the upper house. Mr..
Walsh is described by his supporters
as progressive term, by the way,
which all of the radical group in both
parties appear anxious to confiscate
in the way of a subtitle. as they say
in the movies.
Mr.. Bryan's interference in the
leadership fight naturally aroused re-
sentiment and caused the friends of
Mr. Walsh to assert his candidacy was
not authorized by him. The chief ef-
feet of Mr.. Bryan's intrusion was to
aggravate the feeling between the
supporters of Mr.. Simmons and Mr.
Robinson, which had not been ex-
pected to reach an acute stage for
several weeks. The ostensible cause
OF Mr.. Bryans visit was to urge the
adoption of the resolution providing
for a direct vote on President and
Vice-P President by Congressional dis
tricts and the convening of new
Congress within two months after a
general election.
The last proposal is finding in
creasing favor among the leaders Of
both parties and with the public gem
orally despite the opposition of Presi-
dent Harding. Mr.. Bryan naturally
had good deal to say about the pro-
hibition law One suggestion he made
was that the three mile limit be
abolished so that rum runners may be
treated as pirates on the open seas.
Some of the Senators who talked
with Mr.. Bryan received the impress
sion that he was getting ready to take
up the cause of radicalsm with the
prohibition question left out.
He was credited by some of the
Senators with whom he conferred
with having expressed the opinion
that the recent elections clearly es-
tablshed the fact that the next ma
tional battle should take the form OF
a straightout contest between the
liberal and conservative elements on

Countess, said there was only $500,
which she took for running expenses.

suffering from a nervous breakdown.
Mr. Donate. who said he was the last
man to see the physician alive, asserted
that two hours before his death DR..

the Countess.

street The Bronx, who formerly had
been DR.. Danzi's cook and had been
reemployed by the Countess the day
after the physician died. testified that
