The Relation of Lime to Agriculture.

The Relation of Lime to Agriculture.
1t is matter of practical impor-
tance to have clear idea of the rela-
tive amounts of calcium contained in
the principal compounds used to sup
ply this constituent to agriculture.
A comparison in this respect may
be summed up as follows:
When a ton of pure limestone is
burned, about 1000 pounds of actual
lime, calcium and magnesium oxide is
left. When this is Stacked or "hydrat-
ed" it takes up water until it weighs
about 1850 pounds. When it becomes
air Stacked it goes back to the original
carbonate form. All lime quickly re-
verts to carbonate in the soil, so that
the kind applied is important chiefly
as regards physical conditions and
concentration.
In applying any form of lime al
ways apply it before planting the
crop which is to receive the benefit of
lHe lIIIIS. IL w llle IIlOSl SOUu IL
should be applied to plowed land and
thoroughly worked in the soil by har-
rowing.
A great many farmers in Garrett
county have apparently lost sight of
the fact that there is an abundant
supply of lime material located in
their community or adjacent thereto.
Instead of utilizing this material they
are having large amounts of the vari-
Gus lime compounds shipped many
miles when all or part of the freight
charges could be saved by the utili-
ization of the local product.
Local burning can often be done at
a very low cost when there is goodly
supply of firewood or coal. Grinding
however, would be better and more
profitable to follow if the proper CO.
operation could be had with a number
of farmers. ". C. JESTER,

Garrett COunty's Forest Inter
eStS.

District Forest Warden A. L. Sines
has recently returned from Baltimore
where he attended the District War
denis conference of the State Depart
ment of Forestry held on February 25.
The conference dealt with study
of the effectiveness of the forest fire
fighting organization and with plans
for improving that organization. The
forest warden organization of Garrett
county was found to be the most COM
plete in the State, with fifty-two war
dens on the list.
Mr. Sines, with sixteen years eX-
perience in this county, considers this
to be about the number required to
patrol the forests. There remains a
few locations, however, where war
dens are needed.
The number of fires in Garrett
county during 1925 totalled 70, all of
which occurred in the spring. The
fires averaged 1875 acres to the fire.
Incendiarism was the cause of "a, or
about 80 per cent. Unknown fires
were the next largest group with Is.
Railroads caused II fires. The rest
were about equally divided between
smokers, campers, brush burning and
numbering.
District Warden Sines, in talking
at the conference of the fire situation
in Garrett county emphasized the ne
cessity of educational efforts to stamp
out the evil of the careless and the
incendiary fires. Timber is among the
greatest resources of the county. With
over sixty per cent of the land area
of the county in forest, the future
welfare of the whole section is DEEPEN
dent upon the protection of the for
ests.
