URGES FARMERS TO
USE MORE LIMESTONE
Can be Secured very Cheap and
Its Use Will Prove Benefical
on Many Farms.
Last week 1 wrote upon the
subject of ground limestone
and rock phosphate for Ark
ansas soils. A great deal has
been said upon the subject of
liming soils, but mostly from
rthe standpoint of corecting
avidity, or to be plainer to cure
the sourness of the soils. Thisis
important and must not be ov
erlooked. but there are other
benefits. A good ileal of land
is tailed dead, or lifeless soil,
v r soaked soil, etc. These
all need ground limestone, be
c ' almost uniformly, they
art our. But they must be
dt iii'd well to get the full val
ue t.n lime. Lime will do but lit
tle good on land that is going
to i main covered with stand
ii water the greater part of
the year. First, drain or dry
your land if it needs it, then
apply the lime. Use ground
1 i1 .tone in preference to burnt
lime. The burnt lime is a caust
ic. and will kill out some of the
bacterial life that is soessential
to the soil.
mi plants nave some nme
in them, sonscquently all soils
mu t have lime in some form.
Land that has been cutivated
a long time with no green stuff,
stalks, weeds or other vege
tal.L matter turned under,get
hal’d and pack, and break up
in clods. The soil gets lifeless
am poor. When packed the air
cannot get into it, and it gets
poorer and poorer. Lime will
loo on it up, make it crumble,
and let the air in and the wa
in circulate through it freely.
'I'h condition will release more
p! nt food. The lime will have
a chemical action on the soil
particles and release more
plant food. If you plow under
gr. 11-stuff the lime will help
to change it into plant food and
enrich the soil. Long continued
cultivation of sandy soils tends
to make them more sandy.The
humus or vegetable matter rots
used up and only sand
i’. main -. There is but little life
in it and it will not hold moist
ure. The air circulates to > free
ly mid ilries it out too rapidly.
It will not hold fertilizer well,
and the green stuff turned un
dcr, sours. Lime it. The lime
will help to overcome the dif
ficulties. Lime is an element
needed in the soil to help the
other elements. It will make
more plant food available. It
v v arm and enliven the land
let the air and water circulate
properly, stimulate certain bac
teria in the soil, and on the
whole make your land more
productive. Every farmer that
jc- n grow alfalfa should do so.
hi using gound limestone,put
four tons to the acre. In about
four years add about one ton
to the acre every year. You will
not get your best results the
first year. (Iround limestone is
“tool proof.” You cannot use
too much or hurt your land
with it. Buy a car load. Don’t
try to spread it over your en
tire farm, but put it on ten
acres. Next year do likewise
and so on until you have limed
your entire farm.

tive of the State to this crime,
the breeder of the most vicious

USE COTTON GOODS
i While everybody is working
•hard to help Arkansas raise
the things she eats why not let
all join hands in a movement
to “get Arkansas to wearing
the cotton she raises.” If put
into practice the latter slogan
would place the balance of
trade on the Arkansas side of
the ledger and everybody
—farmer, banker, and mer
chant would be jnore prosper
ous. Let’s not only practice
cotton but preat h it by '.’ear
ing cotton goods. Many beau
1 til garments can be made
from the voiles, crepes, poplin
cloth, percales, ginghams, cot
ton whipcord, linens, piques,
and organdies. There should
be a general movement to get
Arkansas folks in the habit of
wearing cotton goods where
these fabrics w ill enveniently
substitute for silks, linens and
woolens.
