Upland Soils Need Lime For Bigger
Crop Yields


Practically all the upland soils OF
Kentucky outside Of the Bluegrass
region, and some in that region,
are acid to the extent where lining
is needed and will give profitable
returns in general farming, accord
ing to a new circular, No. So, writ
ten by p. e. Karraker and published
by the College of Agriculture extern
sion division here for free distribu-
.tion to farmers of the State.
The soils of the Bluegrass region
have become slightly acid in many
places through the removal of their
limestone by drainage waters and
in all these places need limestone
for the successful growing of alfal-
ia and sweet clover and sometimes
for red clover and other legumes,
the circular states.
Practically all the limestone soils
of western Kentucky have become
acid to the point where lining is
needed, it continues. Outside the
limestone regions of the State, all
the upland soils are considerably
acid, requiring usually from one
half to two tons of ground lime
stone an acre to neutralize the acidi-
,ty i'm the surface foot of soil over
an acre, the publication states. The
well-drained, dark colored, better
bottom soils are not acid to any
harmful extent. The light colored,
silly. bottom soils in all probability
need lining and will respond profita-
bly, to treatment with it, it is said.
The use of limestone and acid
phosphate ON the Kentucky Agricul-
tural Experiment Station soil fertili-
ty fields located on the acid soils
of the State has resulted in the
corn yield being increased 14.6
bushels, that of soybean hay 1887
pounds and that of clover hay g.
O21 pounds, according to the circu-
lar. This fertilizer treatment has
practically doubled the yields of
these crops with a net profit of
more than So for every dollar in
vested in limestone and phosphate,
it concludes.

include IL Angus, six Shorthorns
and two Herefords.
Tobacco Bugs Increase During Past
i Two Years
Tobacco flea beetles have been
increasing rapidly in Kentucky dur
ing the past two years, according
to H. H. Jewett, entomologist at the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station. The amount Of damage
which they do this year will depend
largely upon how they have come
through the winter in various sec
tons of the State, he said. The in
sects are recognized as one of tie
worst pests that trouble tobacco
growers.
Spraying tobacco plants with
arsenate of lead at the rate of one
pound of paste to ten gallons OF
water or with the powder at the
rate of one pound to 20 gallons of
water has been found to be sue
cessful method of destroying the in
sects. They also may be controlled
by busting the plants with a mix
ture of one pound of powdered
arsenate of lead and four pounds of
sifted wood ashed, care being taken
to see that this mixture is properly
prepared.
IAN additional measure of pro-
lection to plants in the field may be
obtained by dipping them at trans
planting time in a solution of arsen-
ate of lead made of one pound of
paste or one-half pound of the pow
der and five gallons Of water. The
solution is stirred frequently with a
paddle during the dipping. This
method of control gives best results
when the plants are arranged in
small punches and only the leaves
dipped in the solution and then Civ
en- a slight shake to remove excess
moisture"
Adults of the beetle appear early
in the spring and collect en- plants
in the beds until transplanting time
when they move to plants set IL the
field. Injury by the insect is
characterized by small round or ir-
regular punctures scattered over the
leaf surface and more or less COM
plete destruction of the leaf. The
adults feed principally on the under
side of the leaf, preferring those
near the ground, while the le:vae
feed on the fine rootlets and are
capable OF doing considerable dam
age.

"six weeks has been found to be
the best age at which to castrate
pigs. A good disinfectant, such as
two and one-half per cent solution
of creolin iodine or 1--WE per cent
solution OF carbolic acid, is used to

Despite the fact that many at
tempts to grow a few watermelons
in the home garden are unsuccessful,
most farmers and gardeners feel
that they would like to have the
plant included. II the seeds are
planted in hills eight feet apart each
way and shovelful of manure
thoroughly mixed with the soil in
each hill, the crop may be grown
successfully, gardeners at the Col
lege of Agriculture say. Tom Wat
son and Klecklay Sweets are good
varieties.

The striped cucumber beetle is
said to be one Of the worst insects
attacking cucumbers. A few squash
seeds planted in each hill with the
cucumbers will help hold down the
amount of damage since the beetles
prefer to feed on the squash.

University OF Oregon, Eugene
Jan. 21.--The varsity went down
to defeat here last night before the
University Of Washington in the
first Of the series by score OF 46
to 10. The northerners took the
lead from the first, Oregon never
threatening. The guarding of
Oregon was all that kept the score
from being larger although the
Oregon forwards missed many
shots.
The first period ended, 21 to IL,
with the Vikings in the lead. In
the second half the Vikings came
back with renewed speed and
played superb offensive, forcing
down the Oregon defense time
after time. Many of their points
were scored from long and seem
ingly impossible angles. Lewis

shots from different angles.
Francis Beller played a bril-
liant game at guard for Oregon,
scoring three field goals and prov
ing strong factor in breaking up

WILLAMETTE
FIGHTS BUT
OUTCLASSED
Same Fast and Spec
tacular Despite One
sided Score; Idaho
Exhibits Form
By Harry N. Grain.

Playing true to their traditions
fighting to the last ditch--the
Willamette university Bearcats
last night dropped the second Of
their two-game series with the
University of Idaho five by score
OF 32 to 10.
The best team won, but only by
playing the game OF its career for
every one OF the 40 minutes the
teams were In action. The score
does not tell II that way to one
who did not witness the battle,
but the game was one OF the most
brilliant exhibitions Of basketball
ever seen here. From whistle 70
whistle both teams were travel
ing at a terrific speed, and the en-
durance Of the Vandals was big
factor In their victory.
Idaho's Work Pretty,
No one can truthfully detra It
one iota from the credit due the
Idaho aggregation. They earned
every point chalked up to them In
the score book. Their passes were
bullet-like in their precision and
accuracy, their floor work be-
wildering in its speed and judg-
ment, and their basket shooting
deadly. Except for a few techni-
cal flaws their performance might
aptly be compiled under the title
''Basketball-- How to Play It,"
There was little left to chance
in the offensive that Idaho of
fered when they got the hall
they Unanswered until an OPEN
ing presented itself. When an
opening broke, the ball shot down
the floor In series OF snappy pass
es and usually found man on
either side Of the basket to receive
II for an open shot. Seldom dur
ing the evening did the Vandals
attempt to shoot from further
away than the foul line.
Pace Is Too Fast.
Sticking to their men like flies,
the Bearcats held the Yandals
without field basket during the
first 10 minutes and had shade
the better OF the argument from
all angles for that length OF time,
But gradually weight and expert
ence began TO tell and William
ette's defense faltered. The willy
Fox brothers and Telford com
meneed to breakaway from the
men set to watch them, and Idaho
forged steadily ahead.
Never once, even with the Van
dals gradually pulling away from
them, did the morale Of the Bear
cats waver. 1t is true that during
the last half they fought blindly |
at times--but they always fought I
The basket shooting OF the
Bearcats was as poor as that Of
the visitors was spectacular. 4
While the yandals We're looping
them In from every angle, the
Bearcats were tossing wild with
equal dexterity.

were the outstanding stars for the

GASOLINE TAX ONLY
TO GET RECIPROCITY
Gov. Ritchie and Other Mary
land Officials Announce Stand
In D. c. Negotiations.

MARYLAND officials are powerless
to enter into any ncgotia a,lons for
reciprocity with the District of Co
lumbia save through the establish
ment of a gasoline tax in the Dis.
trict, according to statement made
yesterday by John y. Mackall.
chairman of the Maryland State
highway commission, to officials Of
the American Automobile Associa-
tion here.
Mr.. Mackall explained that the
Maryland Legislature had passed a
law authorizing the governor Of
Maryland to negotiate for reciprocity
between the District and Maryland
January 1, 1924, provided the Dis
trict would pass a gasoline tax be-
fore that time.
Any other method, he said, would
delay reciprocity for still another
year as the Maryland legislature
does not meet again until June l,
1924, by which time all mo o'o"'"'" f
the District of Columbia would have
purchased Maryland tags.
I'VE have been working for reci
procity between the District and
Maryland for many years" said NJ.
o. Eldridge, executive chairman Of
the A. A. A., yesterday, land
naturally were greatly interested in
published reports that Maryland Of
ficials had decided to abandon all
opposition to reciprocity with the
District and make 1t an accomplished
fact in the near future
However, when we called up
