PLANS FOR EXTRA
 SESSION COMPLETE
Shoot Flils to Win Hoover Over
 to Earlier Date

Miami, Beach. Fla, Feb. 2 (UP) -President-elect Hoover has com- pleted hts plans for the extra session of congress he will summon about the middle of April for farm relief and tarin revision.
 Senator Shoot of Utah, chairman of the finance committee. will leave here today to lay before other re- publican leaders in Washington tho ideas MT. Hoover has conveyed tn him in the last four days. They have gone over the situation in de- tail. both as respects the scope and the nature of the legislation to be considered.
 Firm for Later Dato
 The Utah senator was unable to win over the president-elect to an earlier session than planned. Shoot urged that it be called April 1, but MT. Hoover desires the later date in order that he may confer further with farm leaders to secure general agreement on 8 farm relief pro- gram.
 Both are agreed. however, that tartff revisions should be held to ad- justment of agricultural rates and some industrial schedules. Shoot informed the president-elect of the difficulties in the way of q limita- ton in the senate. He brought to MT. Hoover reports that the demo. crats may offer even higher rates than the republicans would accept in order to confuse the situation and prevent action unless a general revision is agreed to at this time.
 No General Revision
 MT. Hoover wants no general re- vision and ts expected to outline his views in his inauguration address. His argument will be that no indus- try which is prosperous has a claim for increase of rates. since this demonstrates the present rates are

 In the conferences MT. Hoover will hold with farm leaders after he becomes president he will seek to work out details of legislation be- forehand 50 there will be no con fusion and delay such as has at tended recent efforts to solve this problem. He laid down the general principles in his acceptance speech and during the campaign.
 Smoot Is Advance Man
 Smoot will act as advance agent to outline Mir. Hoover's general ideas about the extra session so that leaders may know how to map their course. and will not swarm down upon him upon his return to Wash- ington before his inauguration when other matters will claim his atten- ton.
 The veteran Utah senator has the distinction of being the only 'nem- Der of congress called here. This was given rise to the belief in some quarters that he will be one of the chief spokesmen for MT.

Apply Limestone
Year in Advance
Has Better Chance to Be
Available for Plant Use
of Many Crops.

To "get the most for our money"
spent for limestone for clover fields,
growers should apply it at least a
year in advance of seeding the clover
or alfalfa.
To do this, many farmers are apply
ing lime this winter to land that will
be used for corn next spring. then, in
a year, they plan to seed their al
falfa or clover, reports G. j. Chap
man, soils specialist at the Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture.
Mixes Lime With Soil.
Chapman finds this good practice.
for the cultivation of the corn dur
ing the growing season tends to mix
the lime thoroughly with the soil and
puts the land in excellent condition
for seeding the following spring.
Some Wisconsin farmers are also
applying ground limestone or other
forms of agricultural lime as top
dressing to hay lands or pasture,
Chapman says, but its effectiveness
when used this way is negligible un-
til the soil has been worked up the
second time.
Ground limestone becomes avail
able only through reactions with soil
acids. 1t is not soluble in water and
in order to act with acids it must
come in contact with soil particles"
he says.
When lime is applied on pasture or
hay lands, it does not become mixed
to any extent with surface soil. 1t is
plowed under when the land is fitted
for corn or small grain. and it is not
until the land is again plowed that
the lime is turned back TO the sur
face and worked into the soil.
Other Effective Agents.
Air sIaked lime, finely pulverized
mari, wood ashes, paper mill sludge,
and finely ground limestone are effec-
tive the first year when they are ap-
piled in sufficient amounts and thor
oughly worked into the soil by disk
ing and dragging.
The finer the limestone is ground
and the more thoroughly it is worked
into the soil within the surface six or
eight inches, the faster it will react
with soil acids and the more effec-
tive it will be in supplying lime to
growing crops and correcting the acid
ity.

ONE PRESCRIPTION
MADE FAMILY DOCTOR
FAMOUS

Seldom has any single act been
of greater benefit to mankind than
that of DR.. Caldwell In 1885, when
he wrote the prescription which
has carried his fame to the four
corners of the earth.
Over and over, DR.. Caldwell
wrote the prescription as he found
men, women and children suffering
from those common symptoms of
constipation, such as coated tongue,
bad breath, headaches, gas, nausea,
biliousness, no energy, lack OF
appetite, and similar things.
Demand for this prescription
grew so fast, because of the pleas
ant, quick way it relieved such
symptoms of constipation, that by
1888 DR.. Caldwell was forced to
have it put up ready for use.
Today, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
as it is called, is always ready at
any drugstore.

New Advertising Field
Found by Englishman

This is certainly the age of adver-
Using and it seems that there is some
body ready to take advantage of every
possibility of securing publicity for
his wares. There is now a proposition
being agitated in Great Britain to
brighten up the landscape by painting
lads" of various kinds on the sides of
freight cars. There are 100000 freight
cars of various kinds moving around
in that country and nearly 100000 of
these are of the covered type which
will permit of use for this purpose.
The railroad companies are endeavor-
ing to work up public sentiment in
favor of this scheme on the ground
that the cars will be maintained in
better shape and their appearance
made more attractive by the brilliant
cards impressed upon them. From the
advertisers standpoint this offers an
attractive field, but whether the pub
lie will stand for it is another matter.

Keep Gas Engine Busy
on Vatious Farm Jobs

You'll have to travel quite ways
these days to find farm that doesn't
have at least one gas engine on it.
Fhe trouble is that farmers do not
use their gas engines nearly as much
as they should. The main use they
have for them seems to be pumping,
and an occasional hook-up with feed
grinder, tanning mill or something OF
the kind.
If one has gas engine, it certainly
will pay to keep it busy. 1t isn't nee
essary to operate the pump all the
time on a farm; there are many ma
chimes fer which power can be used.
