Lime Usage Should
Double In Virginia

Efficient crop production in
Virginia is being held back be-
cause OF inadequate or improper
use OF lime on many farms, say
VPI agronomists.
They say only about half of
Virginia farmers are using all
the lining materials they could
use profitably.
a recent report shows that $780,
900 tons of lining materials we're
used in Virginia in 1856. To pro-
mote the PHI needed for top crop
production in the state would re-
quire 100000 or more tons. To
maintain the desired PHI, after it
is attained. would require about
| 100000 tons of lime annually
twice the tonnage used in 1856.
A soil test is the only way a
farmer can be sure OF his lime
needs, the agronomists say.

Nitrogen Important
To Corn Production

n Don't let the lack OF nitrogen
limit your corn yields this year.
Agronomists at vPI say an so
bushel-per-acre corn crop re-
moves about l12 pounds OF nitro
gen from the soil. There must be
considerably more than this
amount in the soil or the corn
crop cannot take what it needs.
On fine-textured or clayey soils,
apply nitrogen sidedressing by the
time the corn is IL to l8 inches
high. On coarse textured or sandy
soils. sidedress with nitrogen
throuhgout the period OF cultiva-
ton.
On any soil, if the corn turns
pale green or yellowish up to the
time of silking, make an applica-
ton Of readily available nitrogen.
During early stages of growth.
any of the commonly used sources
Of nitrogen are satisfactory for
sidedressing. Later applications.
particularly those made lust be-
fore the corn starts to tassel
should be in a readily available
or nitrate form.

WE spent last week at Myrtle Beach, S.

observe at firsthand the thinking of the
people in the southern sister state. We are
convinced that more people from the north
should visit the south and more people

changes of ideas, firsthand knowledge of
the various problems peculiar to the var
lous sections, and actually experiencing the
mode of living in the many diverse sections
OF this great country will broaden ones
point of view. A visit to New York every

and, though strenuous, provides a reaxa-
ton gained by an entirely new environ

feeling of satisfaction to realize that others

While playing the second
movement of the Tchaikov-
sky Concerto. a string broke
on Francesatti's violin and he
quickly turned to the con-
cert master and asked for
the latter's violin. The con-
certmaster pointed out that
whereas the two center
strings on the soloiSt's violin
were of aluminium, all the
strings on his were of gut,
so Francescatti borrowed
the first violinist's instru-
ment.
Although it was a fine vio-
lin, there was a difference in
tone because Francescatti
owns a Hart Stradivarius and.
he said. there are only three
others in the world as good
as his.
The orchestra continued

with Mr.. Ormandy picking up

phrase without benefit of a
score, and all went well.
In the meantime, the guest
artists violin was being re-
strung before the fascinated
eyes of the audience. But a
new string won't stay in tune,
so when Francescatti got it
back he had to keep adjust
ing it.
Still his performance was
superb and everybody wit
messed this test of his genius.
