USE LIME ON SOIL

A simple test is made as follows :
Stake a bushel of quick lime with
water. When it is in a dry powdered
condition spread it and work it into
a strip of ground rod wide and four
rods long This should be done after
blowing. In place of the bushel OF
quick lime, two bushels of air slaked
lime or $50 pounds of ground lime
stone may be used. The strip should
be in a field where clover does not do
as well as it should The lime can
be applied when preparing the field
for corn the year before it will be
seeded down or the same year it is
being seeded although better results
on clover or alfalfa are secured when
lime is applied year before the cloy
er or alfalfa is sown.
Lime for Legumes
Legumes such as clover and alfalfa
maintain the nitrogen in the soil.
They use the nitrogen of the air for
their growth through the work of the
certain kinds of bacteria or germs
which penetrate the smaller hair-like
roots of these plants and cause abnor
NAL swellings called nodules. Within
these nodules the nitrogen from the
soil air is 'sfixed" in some way, that
is, the nitrogen gas is built UP into
fertilizing materials which the legum
es can use in their growth. Under
proper conditions, therefore, these
plants can get their nitrogen from the
air and grow on soils which do not
contain nitrogen in the form of nitrat
es or ammonium compounds, as is
necessary for the growth of other
crops.
The bacteria which forms nodules
on medium red clover, alfalfa, and
sweet clover, require more lime than
the balteria which develop nodules on
the roots of some. other legumes such
as cowpeas, lupines, and serradella.

and alfalfa can fix more nitrogen in a
season than can those legumes which
can grow on soils deficient in lime.
Furthermore, they are better forage
crops than most, if not all legumes
which will grow on lime deficient
soils because they can be made into
hay more readily. Alfalfa yields larg
err amounts of valuable feed than lie
gumes which thrive on lime deficient
soils. 1t is, therefore, desirable to
lime the soils when necessary and
grow clover and alfalfa, rather than to
raise legume crops that will tolerate
lime deficient soils. Nevertheless,
where the cost of lime is too great on
account of distance from an available
supply, or for other reasons, these sec

Somebody must be at" in every
walk of life. James Logan, mil
lionaire General Manager of the
U. S. Envelope Co, of Worcester,
Mass, says: "The day always

One mile of hard surfaced
road costs about $4,000. The in.
terest on this at five per cent
will be $3.50. This interest
charge of $3.50 per mile will
continue until the taxpayer digs
up out of his pocket and pays
the principal.
The life of these hard surfaced
roads is very limited. In some
instances they have gone to
pieces in several years. while the
interest on the bonds continues
to jog merrily along sucking
the substance from the taxpayer.
The present cost of maintain
ing the Federal highway, aside
from crawling land that has
been infrequent) is about $500 a
year per mile. Take that away
from the interest charge of
81, $50 and it would leave a saving
of $3.50 per mile per year that
could be put into crushed rock
that would in time give us a
durable road without borrowing
a cent.
There has been and seems to
be yet, a mania or hysteria for
the issuing of bonds for any old
purpose Voters have been told
by interested parties that if they
would spend money for this pro-
ject or for that, the millennium
would be reached and everyone
be happy-only to find they have
added burdens TO themselves in

rowed money, and have passed
