Lime Is Good
Tonic for Soil
Uses Explained To Farmers
By Agronomist Of
State College.

Lime is being distributed
throughout North Carolina under
the grant Of aid program of the
Triple A, and to acquaint farmers
with the value and use of the soil
tonic, E. c. Blair, agronomist of
the State College Extension Serv-
ice, has compiled a list of sug-
gestiCns.
In the first place, he points out
that agricultural lime (ground
limestone) stimulates b EFT e r
turned under, increase the yield
growth of legumeS, which, when
of other crops. The amount of
lime to apply per acre depends
on the crop to be grown, and the
degree of acidity of the soil.
Alfalfa requires a comparative
ly neutral soil. red clover and
sweet clover a soil that is slight
ly acid, while lespedeza, soybeans
and cowpeas will do just as we'll
on a moderately acid soil as on a
neutral soil. Very few Piedmont
and Mountain soils need lime for
such crops as corn, wheat, oats,
cotton, and tobacco.
On most soils in the Piedmont
and Mountain sections the fol-
lowing amounts of lime per acre
are recommended: For alfalfa,
1000 to 5000 pounds; for red
clover and sweet clover, 1900 to
1000 pounds; for lespedeza, soy
beans and cowpeas, 1000 to 1880
pounds; and for pastures, 1000
to 1000 pounds.
The best time to apply lime is
from three months to a year be-
fore planting the legume crop for
which it is intended. For in
stance, apply lime to small grain
in the fall and sow clover or les
pedeza the following spring.
There is little good in applying
lime to a crop already growing.
Lime should be applied after
blowing and mixed with the top
soil by narrowing, Blair continu-
ed. Do not apply lime and pillow it
in; it teaches out through the
subsoil fast enough without such
encouragement, he added.

Bangs Control
Advances Shown
Complete Control OF Disease
is Expected Within Next
Three Years.

Bangs disase-most serious &C.
onomic threat to the States rap
idly-growing dairy industry
will be under complete control in
North Carolina within the next
three years.
DR.. William Moore, Chief of
the State Department of Agricul-
lures Veterinary Division, re-
Gently estimated that IS per cent
of the Bangs diseased animals
have been slaughtered to date for
which their owners have been
paid an aggregate of $4,000.
Meanwhile, a concerted cam
paign will be launched by the
Veterinary Division on July l to
rid the State of the remaining
diseased cattle, with the purpose
of enhancing the value and pro-
ductivity of North Cardinals

DR.. Moore said, adding 1--WE ex-
pect complete control of the di-
sease in this State by 1912"
Bangs disease, frequently
termed contagious abortion" is
a malady of cattle that lowers
milk production, and interferes
with reproduction. When animals
are found with the disease, con-
domination is ordered and owners
are paid not to exceed $500 for
purebred and $25 for grade stock.

Forestry Urged
For Idle Lands
Credit Allowed On Farmers
Soil Building Program.
Little Expense.

About 6 percent of all farm
land in North Carolina is idle,
principally because of erosion
and a loss of fertility. R. w.
Graeber, forestry specialist of the
State College Extension Service,
says that much of the l,247, 800
acres of agricultural waste in the
State can be put to profitable use
through forestry.
He urges that farmers devote
spare time during the summer
and fall months in the prepara-
ton of their idle land for tree
planting next January, February
and March. A few brush dams
built in gullies, coupled with a
diversion ditch to take surface
water away from gullies, will
stop active erosion. Brush, weeds,
straw, waste hay, cane pumace,
of woods litter spread over the
bare, raw spots will improve the
ground condition for forestation
next winter, he explained.
Graeber pointed out that pine
seedlings will grow to cordwood
size in Is years, to pole size in 80
years, and will be good saw tim
Der in SO years. "This may sound
to distant for some farmers. but
they should consider their child
rem and future generations who
will have to make a living off

the same farm" the forester de-
clared.
One thousand pine seedlings,
enough to plant an acre, cost ST.
and can be set out in one or two
days. Then too, under the pre-
sent Agricultural Conservation
Program farmer who paints an
acre of forest trees on abandon
ed crop land is allowed five units
of credit on his soil building goal.
"These idle acres are not only
improbable in themselves, but
in most cases the erosion from
such fields carries raw soil to the
better lands below, spreading it
over the surface and making the
crop land less productive" Grae-
Der concluded.

Better Price For
Potatoes Expected
North Carolina Farmers Op.
timistic in Spite of Wea-
Their Conditions.

RALEIGH, May 7.-Despite I'M
favorable weather conditions and
a per cent increase in acreage,
growers of early commercial
Irish potatoes are optimistic over
price prospects for their 1899
crop, the North Carolina depart
ment of agriculture reported to-
day.
A. B. Hairless, senior marketing
specialist in the departments
markets division, basing his in
formation on prices paid for the
Florida new-potato and Maine
old-potato crops, said that Tar
Heel farmers certainly are ex-
pecting prices above last season,
when the average was IS cents
per bushep".
$4,000 Acres Planted.
Latest crop statistics indicate
North Carolina growers have
planted $4,000 acres in early
commercial Irish potatoes, which
is an increase of 6 per cent above
1888.
The 1888 crop was valued at
$3,315,000, which represented a
total production of $4,000 BUSH
els.
Incidentally, the 10-year-aver-
age for the early crop is al
bushels per acre from $500 &C
res, representing an average of
4,772,00 bushels per year 1928
1887.

JOhnstOWn Wins
Kentucky Derby
10000 People See WOOdward's
Horse Easily Win 65th.
Racing Classic.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May Gin
one of the most impressive per-
formances in the history of Johns
town, he completely outclaSs-
ed his field today as he raced to
victory by six lengths in the 65th
running of the Kentucky Derby
before a believing crowd OF TO-
600.
An odds-on favorite at the
start, Johnstown fully lived up
to the lavish praise heaped upon
him in recent days as he shot
from the chute in front and never
through the mile and a quarter
grind saw the shadow of one OF
the seven three year Odds chasing
him.
Gradually his pursuers fell
back and left the great bay colt
out there majestically alone as
he boiled across the finish line.
Never was a derby more a
foregone conclusion from start to
finish than William WoodWard's
splendid creature made it today.
Never was it necessary for Jock
ey Jimmy Stout to call upon
Johnstown's reserve, even during
the early stages when the dimln-
utive Ell Chico was making pass
es at the champion. Stout might
have been sitting easy in his IA
vorite rocking chair as they came
bobbing home, one-horse pro-
ceSSion.

Italy And Gei= ny Form A
Strong Military Alliance
Two Powers Are Believed To
Be Committed To Fight
Side By Side.

Germany and Italy - World
War enemies but friends now
converted their partnership into
a formal military and diplomatic
alliance yesterday in move in
terpreted as a go-ahead to Adolf
Hitler in his dispute with Poland.
The decision, which came on
the Goth anniversary of the de-
livery of the Versailles treaty to
Germany and the issuance of
mandates for German colonies,
was believed to commit the two
powers to fight side by side In
any future European war.
1t was said after the official
announcement of the agreement
that the treaty will be known as
the pact of Milan, and that de-
tails will be worked out for the
signatures in the next two weeks.
Considered Blow.
In London, the step was con-
sidered a blow to the French
British front, which had hoped
to wean Italy away from Germa-
ny eventually, and in Paris as
heralding imminent pressure on
Poland to accept Nazi demands
for Danzig and a motor road
through Pmorze, the Polish Cor
ridor.
An authoritative Fascist in
Rome insisted, however, the new
alliance was mot directed against
anyone" Some Fascists held the
view Italy now would tend to
exert a moderating influence on
German policy to protect herself
against any war in which her
own interests were not directly
involved.
Poland Is UnmOved.
Foreign diplomatic circles IN
Warsaw expressed the view that
Poland, who last week rejected
tn Nazi dmands but left the door
ajar to further negotiations,
would not be swayed from her
position.
Meanwhile, democracy appear
ed to be replacing communism as
Germany's official hate No. l,
with talk heard in Berlin of a
possible reapproachment between
Germany and Soviet Russia.
Poland was cited as one of the
circumstance" leading to the
talk-altogether unofficial-of a
possible end to the German-Rus-
sian enmity which would thrust
European politics into an entire
ly new political alignment.
There was no comment on the
matter either way in Moscow, OBJ
servers of Soviet diplomacy did
not exclude the possibility of a
Nazi maneuver to pull Russia
away from the British-French
bloc.
Breakdown RumOred.
Unofficial reports circulated in
London of a possible breakdown
IN the prolonged negotiations to
win Moscow over to the side of
London and Paris. The British
reply to the Soviet Unions al
lance proposals was expected tol
be handed to Russian officials
today.
While the announcement of the
German-Italian military alliance
caused new tension in Europe,
renewed his appeal for that
peace so ardently desired by un-
easy humanity"
The pope's plea, made in a
speech to the Eucharistic Con-
gress at Algiers, Algeria, follow

tween papal nuncios and govern
ment officials in various Euro
mean CAPITALS.

WOMAN,S REALM :
GloriNing Yourself
By Alicia Hars
NEA Service staff Writer


 The best thing to do about dull, sallow complexion tones until you have time to eliminate them per- manently is to get nice even coat of golden brown suntan. This will hide the sallow look for couple of months. Meanwhile, you can get busy with sensibly planned exercise and diet routines.
 First step in the right direction is to see your family doctor and find out whether some organic ail- ment is causing the sallowness. While there, discuss your ideas for revising your exercise and diet habit.
 Unless the doctor advises other wise, you'll start drinking the juice of one fresh lemon in a tall glass of hot water the moment you get up in the morning. After you have cleaned your face and had your shower, you'll splash quantities of very cold water on free and throat until skin is tingling, cheeks pinkish. Then pat on cold skin tonic or a very mild stringent and let 1t dry before applying foundation lotion and makeup.
 You'll drink at least three glasses of fruit or vegetable juice day. And, for lunch, eat a huge green salad or a plat" of fresh green vege- tables. Your dinner will be a per- fectly balanced meal, and you'll try to eat 1t at the same time every night.
 DO DAILY
 EXERCISES
 One a day you'll do a few simple limbering exercises, vigorously enough to make cheeks pink, body slightly moist. Tn addition, you'll walk at least mile every day. And you'll get a reasonable amount of sleep every night. Meanwhile, you'll allow little time every day for &C., quiring the cover-up coat of sun- tan-even f thi smeans stunning yourself on the roof ot an apart inent house or during lunch hour in a park near your office.
 In other words, you'll improve your health habits. And, by so doing, you'll know that when the suntan fades and your complexion tones once again are visible they won't be sallow.

SENSE AND NONSENSE ABOUT
 VICTUALS AND NUTRITION

SENSE AND NONSENSE ABOUT
 vICTUALS AND NUTRITION
 One inspired layman condemns sandwiches. He asserts that in order that the system" may get the full food value 1t is necessary to chew meat and bread separate ly, and to combine the two foods in one meal Is a fundamental error which explains, well, all sorts of evil if you are not informed on physiology.
 It is notable that most of the flood specialists" who are "well known" to the wiseacre public and most commonly cited as "author- ities" by wiseacre laymen who think they know as much or more than the ordinary" doctor knows about food, diet and nutrition, are not physicians, not chemists and not even graduates of any recog- nized school-they are usually just shrewd gentlemen who understand how to appeal to popular credulity. Although I have been answering questions from all sorts of people on all aspects of health and dis ease for years, 1t still perplexes me to account for the childlike credulity of even well educated, brainy people-business men, law yers, teachers and the like-in ref- erence to questions of victuals and nutrition. I suppose 1t Is the nat ural result of the wretched deal we all get in the common school or high school on elementary physiol- ogy.
 Food is material which, absorbed or taken into the body of an or ganism, serves for purposes of work, maintenance of vital processes, growth and repair. Strictly speak, ing, that would include oxygen, or in the case of plants, carbon dioxide, water and the materials known as protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and mineral salts. Practically when we speak of food we mean victuals, something to eat.
 Nutrition means much more than food or victuals. Nutrition Is the sum of the processes by which an organism (animal, plant, man) absorbs or takes in and utilizes
