Points TO Consider in
Treatment of Acid Soil

There are several factors TO be con-
sidered when choosing the form OF
lime 10 use for sour soils. The cost
OF the calcium II the first point TO be
considered and then the character OF
the soil. the kind OF crop, the rapidly
OF action desired, the oneness OF tho
lime and the convenience OF handling
are OF next importance In the order
named. Ordinary ground limestone
or calcium carbonate contains approx
imately 500 pounds OF calcium per ton.
slaked lime or hydrated lime contains
about 1851 pounds OF calcium per ton.
and quickl'me or unslaked limo con-
tains about 1923 pounds. The cost OF
pound OF calcium In each form
should be compared when determln-
Ing the relative cost OF each substance.
Generally speaking. for most condi-
lions. ordinary ground limestone is to
be recommended above the other
forms. Unslaked lime viii slowly be-

OF Axvicaturs)
A notion long prevalent among
growers OF beans was that the plant
Ing OF weevffy seed was the cause OF =
weevily crop. but Investigations by the
bureau OF entomology. United States
Department OF Agriculture. In Califor-
MIA. have shown that this has no ef-
feet on the infestation OF the succeed
Ing crop. The real cause Of the spread
OF weevils In the new crop has been
shown 10 be the development OF large
numbers OF the insects In seeds held
over from the preceding year and held
In storage In buildings near the fields
OF growing beans. A few beans may
be the breeding ground for enormous
numbers Of the pests. In one case Il
was found that $4,000 OF certain
variety OF cowpea weeyil developed
from bag containing % pounds OF
eowpeas.
From this II Is evident that the in
crease OF the weevils may be largely
controlled by the simple expedient OF
destroying those In the stored beans
or by disposing OF the surplus beans.
This weeyil work OF the department
has been received by growers with
much approval In one OF the most im-
portant bean-growing sections they
have formed weevu committee the
