Lime Should Prccede Seeding OF
IepumeS

The best time to apply ground
limestone is from three months 10
one year before seeding legumes
thus giving the lime sufficient time
to contact acid in the soil particles
and countcract 1t. -.
The application of lime to cult
.ated and should be made alter
slowing. and the material should d.
mixed with the topsoil. Little bsne.,
fit may be expected if lime is ploWed
under. before being properly mixed
with the topsoil. On pastures 1t IS
,nlv necessary to scatter the lime on
.op of the sod; however, better re-
,ults will be obtained if it can DC
,orEed in by light narrowing.
The appearance Of broom sedge'
',oop sorroll. running briars, plan
tains. and moss in and around the
edge of fields is a good sign that the
land needs lime. The use OF lme'
Dlls phosphate. applied to broom
sedgc has resulted in blue grass and
white Dutch clover gradually taking
hold. The lime and phosphate re-
tore the soil fertility Whcr there IS
broom sedge to the extent that me
sodee is made palatable and eraZo1
off or crowded out by blue grass, ano
not killed by lime as is sometimes
thought.

Washington, Aug. 26.-(AP)-
Secretary Ickes has submitted to the
national defense commission a recon-
mendation for development of major
war industries in the Rocky Noun
tain state, California and the Pacific
northwest.
Drafted by Alvin ]. Wirtz, under
secretary of interior, and Paul j.
Rayer, the Bonneville power admin
istrator, it proposed that hydro-elec-
trio power developed by the govern
ment projects at the Bonneville and
Grand Coulce dams on the Columbia
river be used in tile manufacture OF
aircraft, ordnance, munitions ana
ships.
Most war industries of the ma
tion," they said, "are in the north
eastern states east of the Mississippi
river occupying Is per cent OF the
land area of the country. In contrast,
the II western states, covering Az
per cent of the land area, do not
have the industries to protect the
Pacific coast and Pacific possessions
or to supplement eastern production
FOR Atlantic coast defense.
These circumstances do not con-
tribute to the speedy and most eff
"ective defense of the United States
md its possessions"
Along with Iclles' recommendation,
The defense commission received a
report from Paul V. McNutt, federal
vorurity administrator, that voca-
tional summer schools had trained
10000 men for defense jobs.
