 Parshall, Colo. April 14.-Enticed by wagonloads of hay and cotton seed delicacies, more than 100000 deer and elk are plodding up into the Rocky Mountains, leaving 200 of their number behind as winters vic- tims of the "iron horse.'
 It took a winter-long campaign by a hundred game wardens and railroad men, working with sticks and poles in 40-below-z wealth. CT, to drive the animals from the railway tracks, where they were being cut down by speeding loco- motives.
 Every winter Colorado's herd of deer and elk, trapped in the high passes by belly-deep snow drifts and unable to find food, comes plunging down the jagged slopes. They seek refuge on the railroad tracks and right-of-way, where the snow has been cleared and where, sometimes. there is food.

What Weather!


 This is one of the longest drawn out periods of cold weather in the memory of many of the old timers. Starting with Thanksgiving day when the .nowstorm and cold weather upset everything, we have had conti.iled cold weather right up to the present. About 4:30 Wednes- day afternoon it looked very much as though a blizzard or hurricane were about to hit Cheshire. The wind blew at high velocity, caus- ing light cars to sway on the road and the ice and snow drove against the windows with great force. Let us hope the warm weather is not far away.

PrOfiteering Fought

There is as yet no Food Ad-
such as Herbert
Hoover managed in the World
War, but the Department of Ag-
is trying its best to
prevent profiteering in food sup
plies and to organize the sale of
American farm products abroad.
In the Treasury an augmented
staff off assistant secretaries is
working with Mr.. Morganthau to
try to keep the international and
internal financial situation under
control. The Commerce Depart
ment is rushed with plans for di-
verting to this country the trade
of South America which former
ly went tC Germany.
In the White House the Cabl-
net meetings have been enlarged
by the admission to them of the
new loan agency, security and
works agency, and a general re-
organization and enlargement of
the Presidents personal staff.
That is brief and sketchy pic
ture of Washington getting rea-
dy for war. Nobody wants it, no.
body really expects it, but if war
comes the United States will be
ready for it.

Know Soil Needs
When Using Lime

Lime is increasing steadily in
popularity among North Caro-
lima farmers, but there are some
cases where its use might not
prove to be beneficial or worth
the investment, says c. B. Will
liams, head of the State College
Agronomy Department.
1T should be perfectly plain
that all soils do not need an ap-
plication of lime for the particu-
lar crops being sown on the
farm" Williams said, land some
soils need only small applications.
In order to be sure whether
their soil needs lime, Williams is
advising farmers to send samples
of their soil to State College for
complete analysis. The sam
Piles must be submitted accord
ing to directions which will be
supplied upon request to the
Agronomy Department at State
College. The actual analysis is
done without charge.
When applied in moderate
quantities to soils requiring its
use, lime will correct excess
soil acidity, hasten the rate of
decomposition of organic matter,
increase the number of beneficial
soil bacteria, increase the avail
ability of some plant nutrients,
and supply calcium and in some
cases magnesium, which are es-
sential nutrients for plant
growth.
The use of lime when not
needed or when used in too large
amounts may do harm by bring
ing about too much change up
ward in the reaction of the soil.
This would cause certain minor
essentials of plant growth, such
as manganese, to become unavail-
able to crops to the extent that
crops planted later would fail to
grow satisfactorily on the soil.
