WHAT THE ORDER
STANDS FOR

Mr.. .Di Silvestro spoke about
the Sons of Italy, the purpose
Of which, he said, was to enlist
the best of the italian race in
the service of the Stars and
Stripes. He said:
Everyone, be a member or
not, has a reason to be proud of
the Order Sons of Italy. It was
founded only a few years ago.
Today it counts about 1172 lod-
ges, nine grand lodges, and has
three grand lodges in formation.
1t has about 100000 members
scattered in 20 States of the u
Mon. 1t goes as far west as the
States bordering on the Pacific
Ocean, and as far east as those
bordering on the Atlantic.
'"The order is known as a fra
ternal organization, but it
stands for something more than
fraternalism. 1t stands for Am
erica in the spirit of serving
this land, and it stands for tia
" in the spirit of not doing a.
nything for which Italy should
have reason to be ashamed or
us. It is not a political organiza-
tion. 1t does not ask of it's men,
bers where they stand in mat
ters of political or religious
creed. The only question askP
is: Do you stand by and are yo~
ready to serve America.
"RAPS KU KLUX KHAN.
Speaking of Americanism,
the question of the day, Mr.. Di
Silvestro attacked the Klu Klux
Klan, about which he said:
Every one and every school
has a specific idea of America
nization. Even the Ku Klux
Klan speak of America, and of
Americanism: and yet I cannot
conceive of any organization
more un-American than this ug-
ly secret society, which prevail
ing, would disgrace America.
"Americanism is a pure and
noble ideal, and | cannot imagi-
ne of any organization or any
doctrine which lacks more of
idealism than this society, which
is waging a war against a pc
rennial fountain of spiritual
Christianity. Amer canis S m
means unselfishness and appre-
citation, and vet | cannot think
Of an organization more selfish
and more unappreciative than
this secret society which seeks
TO ostracize a large mass
of people who contribute with
devotion to the progress of A
merica. God save America from
Ku Klux Klan. Sould the Co
vernment of this nation be tur-
ned over to them, America
would be left to a small group
Of narrow-minded, low-think-
ing people.

LIME FROM SUGAR FACTORIES
VALUABLE
BY M. M. McCool, Professor of
Soils, Michigan Agricultural
College.

1t is generally recognized that
sour or acid soils are common in
Michigan and that the difficulty en-
countered in establishing clover and
alfalfa seedlings in the main is due
to this condition. Therefore, avail
able and cheap sources of lime are
of tremendous Importance to the
State of Michigan.
The various sugar factories are
being visited by member of the Col
lege soils department in order to de-
termine the nature, condition, and
extent of the material that has ac-
cumulated about them These ex-
aminations have brought out, as has
been known by numerous people, that
there are many thousands of tons of
lime at several of these factories. In
several instances the managers of
these offer this by-product to the
farmers for the removal of it. AS
yet, however, practically none of this
material has been removed and ap-
piled to the soil. AS result in some
instances the lime cake amounts to
thousands of tons and in some cases
the managers have signified their will
ingness to provide facilities for load
ing this material on the car so that
it can be shipped from the factory,
provided there is demand for it.
Although not all the samples have
been 'analyzed chemically, yet the
analyses that are available show that
the carbonate of lime content runs
from about sixty to seventy-five per-
cent and in addition there may be
present from one to one and one
half percent of phosphoric acid, two
hundredths to four-tenths percent nit
rogen, and about twenty-five hun
dreths of one percent Of potash. The
vegetable matter ranges from ten to
fifteen percent.
This situation is different from
that in foreign countries where the
lime that remains from the purifca-
tion of beet sugar is removed by
farmers almost as rapidly as it is
dumped. There it is very popular as
soil improver. It's popularity is due
to it's composition. We have seer
magnificent crops of corn and luxuri
ant growth of weeds growing on the
drained lime cake ponds" 1t il
reported also that splendid potatoe!
and vegetables are grown on this ma
terial. 1t should be spread on tht
land as mari is distributed. A ma
nure spreader may be used, or it ma!
be piled and scattered by means O
the shovel. Standard application
should be from four to six cubic
yards per acre.

FARM BUREAU SERVICE
PAID MEMBERS TAXES

Selling his clover seed crop
through the state farm bureau seed
department last year brought Henry
Pitts of st. Johns, Clinton county
farm bureau member, enough over
and above local dealers bids so that
the extra return paid his taxes, it is
reported.
G. w. Wise of Pentwater, R. F. D.
No. 1, Mason County Farm Bureau
member, reports that he saved his
whole three years farm bureau dues,
amounting to $50, through the, pur-
chase of one set of Victory No. 2
harness, bought through the State
farm brueau purchasing department.
Mason county farm bureau men,
bers cashed in on their memberships
recently when they were able to buy
picric acid in place of dynamite and
saved $1,000 on the deal. This is
what the county farm bureau said:
1--WE have just unloaded 210 boxes
of picric acid at $S.65 a hundred.
Dynamite costs $2S hundred pound
box. While this material was OBJ
taired through the government, W.
haven't heard of a county without
an agricultural agent getting an
ounce of it. So with us no county
farm bureau would have meant no
county agent, and no pricric acid.
We saved $1,000 on that picric acid"
Collect $1,15O.
In Saginaw county the Produce
Growers Exchange in 1920 sold cab
bage to a man for southern shipment
| Twelve cars were not paid for. The
| Saginaw county farm bureau gave
the Produce Growers Exchange the
legal assistance which enabled those
men to secure judgment for 81 so.
1t is reasonable to expect that the
money could not have been collected
if it had not been for the farm bureau
activity.
The Saginaw county farm bureau
this spring upset a plan to sell in the
| Chesaning territory on a stock plan
stallion at $4,000, said to be about
four times the worth of the horse.
The farm bureau put out certain pub
licity regarding the horse and the
contract and the plan was abandoned.
Two weeks later the horse died. It
was said that the county farm bureau
saved the farmers tidy sum on that
deal.
These are a few instances show
ing that farm bureau cooperation
is paying the members who make
that membership work by keeping it
busy in the local farm bureau coop
erative and other farm bureau enter
prises. To make the thing pay in
actual dollars and cents in the hand,
the member must make use of his
marketing machinery-his local farm
bureau cooperative association and
through it the State farm bureau
marketing arms. His own machinery
in action effects savings which come
back to him.
