The Memphis Commercial Appeal
OF last Friday, in its report Of Sena-
tor McKellar's speech at Union City
day before did its best to belittle Nc
Kellar's effort but we doubt If it sue
ceeded even to the extent of making
or retaining single vote for Capt.
Fitzhugh, the Memphis papers favor
lite candidate, toward whose success
in the primary it has all along been
devoting much space in editorial and
news matter, supposed to be worth
thousands Of dollars if it had to be
paid for in cold cash. If the Com
mercial Appeal, its staff correspon-
dents or its local correspondents think
for moment that the voters will con-
denim Mcclellan because he at was first
opposed to the selective draft (which,
in plain and not so pleasant term
meant conscription) they are sadly
mistaken, for the people opposed the
draft, opposed the purchase of bonds,
opposed the war and everything in
connection as shown by their action
when they got a whack at the war
president (Wilson) through Candi-
date Cox, who was defeated by seven
million majority. Mcclellan had Fitz-
hugh beaten world without end and
would have so continued through the
primary had he stayed in Washing
ton, but the junior Senator came
down to Tennessee and brought on
himself all the charges that have fol-
lowed by biting at what we believe
was fake questionable the bigger
part of which was made up Of ques-
tons not at all pertinent to the race
for the Senatorial nomination. As we
have said before, the Memphis Com
mercial Appeal is the greatest news
gathering agency in the South-save
and excepted always political news =
but we believe this race for the sena-
torial nomination will demonstrate
the undisputable fact that the editor
ial endorsement of the Commercial
Appeal can not elect any man to Of
flee in Tennessee.

II may be possible to say too much
about the Newberry purchase Of a
seat in the Senate Of the United
States when we think Of the methods
adopted here in Tennessee, where a
candidate for nomination for that body,
unless there is money reason or some
~other reason why he favored by the
daily press, stands no chance whatever
to get his discussion Of public matters
before the people. Here in Tennessee
we have had three candidates for the
United States Senatorial nomination,
leaving out Brother Noah Cooper Of
Nashville, Sunday law crank who is
doubtless good man. Those candi-
~dates are Capt. G. 7. Fitzhugh,
Memphis lawyer of distinction, who
has never held an office, so far as we
know Senator X. d. Mcclellan, who is
standing for denomination and who
has represented the Tenth Congress
sional District in the Lower House Of
Congress; and up to last Friday when
he withdraw, Hon. T. W. Sims, who
for twenty-four years so faithfully
and efficiently served the Eighth
Tennessee District in Congress, that
not single vote cast by him was
ever adversely criticized by the COM
mon people. Now, we will attempt
to show the conduct of the daily press
of the State toward these candidates,
by citing the manner of campaign of
the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
That paper favors Fitzhugh; it de-
votes much space to lauding him and
belittling one of his opponents
Senator McEellar-and with a few
exceptions it has positively refused to
let Mr.. Sims name appear in its col
umns, even after the papers accredit-
ed correspondents in various towns
had called upon Mr.. Sims and had in
terviews with him, and more than
that after the editor himself had told
Mr.. Sims that he was welcome to a
column and half report of Mr.. Sims
views on public questions. Unless
Newberry money was paid in cash in
exchange for votes in Michigan, moth
ing dirtier could have been done in
his behalf than has been done here in
Tennessee in behalf Of candidates
favored by certain daily papers-and
we exonorate to some extent the
Nashville Banner, whose owner
through gratitude, is supporting SEN
ator Mcclellan. So the matter is re.
solved down to the fact that the state.
wide candidate who can not gain &C.
cess to the columns of daily papers
is damned in advance. The great dali,
newspaper is supposed to be q quasi
public enterprise but here in Tennes
see it is, instead, the means Of boost

LIME ON SOILS
By ]. T. Fuller, Chief Inspector.

In my travels over the State l am
frequently requestioned in regard to
the use of lime on soils. My answers
have been prompted by some forty
years experience Of farming and
stock raising.
I have in mind field Of some
twenty acres in my home community,
on which it seemed an impossibility to
get clover to grow. For number Of
years every effort had failed to des-
pite good preparations, careful seed
ing and good seasons.
Acting under the advice of an agent
Of the United States Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, d. c., the
field was plowed in December and
January and twelve hundred bushels
of burnt lime was evenly scattered
over the twenty acres in February. A
grain crop. was sown in May with
clover and a fine set of clover result
ed over every square rod in the TWEEN
ty acre field. The next spring people
stopped in passing the road to admire
a fine field of clover that lodged be-
fore it bloomed.
The difference in ground limestone
and burnt lime is simply this: You
cannot put on enough ground lime
stone to injure the soil as it disinte-
CRATES slowly and is taken up by the
plant roots as needed. Burnt lime
acts at once and if applied too freely
will burn out the humus in the soil
before the plants have time to gain
any benefit.
The United States Department of
Agriculture at Washington will tell
you that lime acts on soil like soda in
your bread. Just enough soda will
give you a good wholesome loaf:
any more is liable to show bad effects.
Sixty bushels Of burnt lime per acre
is sufficient to sweeten the sourest
soil and put it in condition to grow
all legume crops. Pastures need lime
just as much as cultivated crops need
it.
Whether to use ground limestone or
burnt lime depends entirely on which
is the most convenient and cheapest
to the individual farmer. Many
farmers owning woodland where
there is considerable amount of
timber Of little or no value can very
profitably put all their logs and trees
unfit for use to a profitable purpose
by using them in burning lime.
Twelve cords is the rule to one thous-
and bushels.
Most farmers have idle time in
which no work can be done in the
fields and the idle farm laborer can
be employed in preparing the wood,
getting out the stone, building the
kiln and then the lime can be applied
in the time other farm work cannot
be done. There is scarcely a neigh
borhood in the State where limestone
rock is found that you cannot find
some person who can give you any
information desired in regard 10
building and burning a lime kiln.
l have seen lime scattered over
thin places in old pasture fields where
the grass was practically all gone and
in the course Of twelve months the
white clover and blue grass could be
seen gradually coming back and
forming fine sod.
The International Harvester Com
pany, Chicago, has a bulletin for
free distribution that should be read
and studied by every farmer in Ten
nessee. They give some valuable in
formation and suggestions in regard
to burning lime with stone coal which
might be profitably followed by farm
ers not having the wood as cheap and
convenient as the coal.
