France Welcomes Legion Visit

France, to find that that country will welcome the
visit Of the American Legion in 1927. We have been

ant-American feeling would be so strong as to
make the legion visit inadvisable. Albert Serraut.

be demanded of all local fire departments and this

yawned, stretched her arms and
walked to the window. She opened

the room. Then she went back to the
study table and worked fcverishly
for two hours. At last the pile of
papers had been gone through.
Judith raised her head and was
strengthening her cramped shout

porch below. She ran to the window
by the balcony and looked out. All
was still in the yard. A car stood
parked little way up the street,
evidently left for the night by some
one staying In the next house. It's
headlights were out.
A squirrel began to chatter sleep

come from his scampering feet on
the wooden floor Of the porch.
Judith turned back to the light,
and began to get ready for bed. She
brushed her hair hastily, for she was
very tired.
With a sigh Of relief she reached
for the electric light switch and got
into bed. She was shivering between
the cold sheets when the, noise on
the porch repeated ITSELF, This time
it was Enthusiastically the scuffling Of

Judith ran to the open window
again. A muffled dialogue in male
voices was going on. But there was
another sound that made Judith
strain her ears. It was the sound
Of a woman sobbing.
She threw on her bathrobe and ran
into the hall. A night light was still
burning over the head Of the stairs.
She ran down the steps. keeping her
eyes on the glass Of the door.
Outside. silhouetted against the

The Use of Lime
kansas City Starr

The corn belt states will use more than million
tons Of agricultural lime this year. This is new
practice on the majority of the farms. 1t has been
brought about largely by failure in attempts to
grow clover. alfalfa other legumes These plants
dc not thrive in sour oy acid SOIL
The greatest benefit comes from the of lime
on soils which are naturally deficient in calcium
A somewhat similar result follows it's on those
which were originally sweet or alkaline, but have
become acid, due to the removal of calcium. in the
form of crops and livestock or from teaching and
soil erosion The surface soil which has been con-
tnually cropped through series of years has pro-
vided ideal conditions for the loss Of lime.
In humid sections the growth of legumes must be
Incorporated into any system of farming when soil
fertility is taken into account. When livestock is
not maintained it is essential that legumes be grow,
ard turned under to provide humus and nitrogen.
Where livestock farming is practical legumes arr
essential in furnishing the necessary elements for
growth of bone and red meat at the lowest cost.
Either with CT without livestock, farms which are
continually cropped with nonleguminous plants
eventually cease to yield profitable crops All
ports Ct maximum yields Of corn, sorghums, wheat
and oats in the older farming sections Of the country
carry the statement that legumes, frequently sup
pemented with mineral fertilizers, have been used
The greatest value Of clever alfalfa is not in the
crop itself, but in its effect upon the crops which
follow.
The crushing If limestone rock for use in the con-
strcton Of roads, buildings and cement work of all
kinds results in a by-product known as agricultural
lime. It is the dust or screenings sifted out from
the coarser sizes. This is available in many Sec
tons at much lower cost than grinding limestone
to the same degree of fineness. Railroads have
given very law rate for it's movement. This is
one product which farmers can obtain at less than
the cost Of production.
The effect Ct the use Of limestone is not always
immediately noticeable One condition which makes
It most readily available for use by plants is the
degree OF fineness to which it has been reduced It
should be thoroughly mixed with the soil. Spread
ing It on the surface without contact with the acids

which there j. an abundance Of phosphorus and pot

with commercial fertilizers for best results. The
growing use Of lime in the future Is indicated by
the methods Of farming generally practiced. They
