Lime an Important Factor in Crop
Production.
After six years of investigation
Doctor NJ. +. Morgan of the Conn
ecticut Agricu tural Experiment Sta
ton claims that Connecticut farmers
are using Just one-fourth of the lime
annually that they should be using.
Connecticut needs 10000 tons OF
lime annually.
About l5Cs Of the soils in the state
are SO acid that hays like timothy and
redtop might fail. 500 Of the soils
will grow fair crops Of grass and corn
without lime but viii not grow many
others; 75cs Of the soils are too acid
for elovers to grow well; 900 too
acid for vegetables and 800 too acid
for alfalfa.
In order TO improve our dairy stu
alton and reduce milk production
costs. 100000 acres should be chang
ed from grass 70 clover and alfalfa.
To do this from two to three tons Of
limestone or its equivalent are need
ed per acre. At least 100000 acres
Of pasture should be improved with
the use Of lime.
Windham County farm lands make
up about 1l9 Ct that in the state and
Windham County farmers should be
using approximately $500 tons Of
lime annually. In actuality they use
far less than this. We have many
fine examples Of the value Of lime in
the country, an excellent one being
on the farm of Mr. Sandholme which
was visited on the Farmers Associa-
ton Field Day. Mr.. Sandholme us
es about to 10 tons annually on a
small farm Of % acres of tillable
land His crops show the results.
Many farmers have complained
that they cannot get lime at this sea-
son Of the year when II should be
cheaper than in the spring. Any
farmer who wishes TO buy lime this
fall and does not have an available
source should get in touch with me
Immediately. win be glad to locate
sources Of supply for these men and
II necessary combine orders for men
who are too distant from present
sources so that II can be made avail
able N carload lots.

cars parked about suburban railroad
stations. Their owners drive the cars

regular passenger planes between Ne
wark and Boston. The service has
now been brought 10 an excellent sche-
dule standard and two planes are run
daily in either direction. At the
Pennsylvania Hotel. opposite the
Pennsylvania station, bus is provid-
ed to take passengers to the Newark
Airport, more convenient 20 New
York, via the Holland vehicular tun-
mel, than are any of the Long Island
airfields. Alighting at the airport,
passengers at once board the waiting
Ford, all-metal, tri-motored plane.
The start is made without fuss or de-
day and the plane ICONS at once up
over the Jersey flats and higher over
the Hudson TO cross midtown New
York, then TO follow the Sound line 10
New Haven. Once up the trip is as
calm as a swan boat in the Park. The
steward passes through the plane serv-
ing light drinks and crackers. Wind
ows may be opened a little and the
steward calls out the various points
over which the plane passes. At New
Haven there is a sharp turn inland
and then, following very much the old

tween New York and Boston. the plane
passes across our own Windham

MOVE FORCED BY ACTION

(Havre Daily News)

Havre is to lose an institution
that has been one of it's most dis
tinctive features when radio sta
ton KFBB is moved to Great
Falls in September of this year
The announcement of the move
was made at Great Falls Monday
and was confirmed by Mr.. But
trey yesterday.
Mr.. Buttrey states that 1t is
with much regret that he has felt
compelled to move the station to
that city but the intense compe-
tition between programs of broad
cast stations has forced KFBB
to make the change. He agreed
to make the move only because he
found it impossible to obtain suf.
ficient talent in Havre and vi
cinity for an eight hour program
which the station was expected to
put on to protect its hours and
license.
The radio commission. Mr.. But
trey states takes the stand that
the hours allocated to a station
must be used for their program
or the station must lose the per-
nit to use those hours. 1t has
been found next to impossible to
turn out a program of eight hours
nunrN low NTH roIAn+ orra.Io Ill -

The Buttrey station was one of
the pioneer radio stations in this
section of the country. 1t has
been in operation over six years
and has been rebuilt several times
until it is now a modern station
with a power of $50 watts. 1t has
been of particular Importance in
the farming communities of this
section of Northern Montana in
broadcasting of weather and mar
ket reports. local announcements
and news items, messages to peo-

cultural programs. The Buttreys

been listened to probably by more
people in this section than any
other program coming into this
territory.
The station was given a permit
to use 500 watts power last fall
and was entirely remodeled at
t h at timeI Recently, however,
the station was required to divide
its time with the Butte station,
and Butte is now seeking a
change Of hours that will give
them a still larger portion of the
time.
The station when moved to
Great Falls will have it's power in
creased to 1000 watts with a
potential power in the transmitter
5000 watts. Permit has al
'eady been granted the station for

WOLF POINT GOLFERS
AID new CLUB, 0PHEIM
(From Opheim Observer

At the invitation of local golf
bugs, o. G. Johnson and w. V. d.
Chapman, Wolf Point business
men, spent Sunday here and laid
out a nine-hole golf course
The course is located about one
mile northwest of town on an 80
acre plot of ground of Joe Re
boula. Mr.. Reboula has consented
to let the golf club use this land
for merely paying the taxes on it.
In speaking of the location, the
Wolf Point men said that it would
be one of the sportiest courses in
this section of the state. The land
is rolling and furnishes plenty of
natural hazards. The distance
around the nine-holes is about one
mile and a half.
At an organization meeting held
on Wednesday evening, Roy Pors-
borg was chosen president; David
