IS LIME A FERTILIZER?
OFFtRFD IN COMBINATION WiTH

W A WOR3MAM. JR, Prof. Agri,

It fiould be understood that it is
not necessary .to use liiue as a fertiliz
e or plant food for general crops, and
thai it cannot be U3ed as a substitute
for a tty particular plant food as pot
u;i. phosphoric acid or nitrogen.
Calcium, the chief element of lime,
i , plant food, hut most soils are suf
i....;ntly supplied with it to furnish ail
t> - plant needs, and besides consider
ate i-alCium is added as gypsum, or
~at. am sulphate, whenever acid phos
;t.. applied, calcium sulphate be
i. . f imed in the manufacture of acid,
phc. ihate.
I: oil has a distinct requirement
ti.i iirne, and hrne in its different forms
.-huiiid be used to meet this require
i;.i /u without consideration of other
fertilizing material. Lime helps the
pity -; i al condition of the soil, correct*
acidity and encourages the growth of
beneficial bacteria Leguminous crops
tiv- atmospheric nitrogen only by the.
suit -of there bacteria, so lime is most
timctive when used with such crops.
!it enables the leguminous plant to
lai.v more nitrogen from the abundant
so uce in the atmosphere by render
ing the condition of the soil suitable
for bacterial growth.
Leguminous crops are essential ia

a good crop of legumes, so ali
crops are benefited directly or indi
reetly by liming the soil. i
Better result will he obtained from
th- ~roper use of commercial tertilia

Planting Waste Land To Trees
JAMES 8. BERRY, Prof.,of Forestry,
Q*. State Col. Of Agriculture
No one knows even approximately
the area of waste land in the state;
no doubt it i very large. By "waste
land" Is meant that area which, be
cause of steepness, roughness or ero
sion, Is unfitted for agricalturil pur
poses. Practically every farm in the
state contains some land of this de
scription. Jit present it is yielding no
returns, often the erosion is a menace
to valuable agricultural lands below.
If properly planted to trees and ke<pt
in forest the benefit would be twp-fold:
first, the land would be producing
some revenue; second, the amount of
erosion would be reduced and finally
controlled Old Field Pine, thodgti of
ten despised, is a rapid grower and
yields a material which is of great
value on the farm, whether used as
fuel or sawn to furnish plank for
rough construction Young trees may
be secured from any nursery cbinpany
at a reasonable price These are
spaced six feet apart each way and
require no further care until they be
gin to crowd each other when they
may be thinned. Other trees may give
equallg good results: Yellow Locust,
fatal pa. Walnut and Ash grow rapid
ly and produce valuable material. Chi
na Berry grows rapidly, but produces
inferior material. It makes good fuel,
however. Further information may
be had from Circular 31 of the College
of Agriculture, Athens.

SOME PLAIN FACTS
AND SOME FIGURES
How Increases in Materials,
Labor, Etc , Have Added
to Cost of Operation
To the uninitiaed it might ap
pear that the railroads are reap
ing a veritable harvest in revenues
these days and that with the in
crease in business which Iregan a
year or more aj& their net earnings
would be trememdoua. Those
who are familiar with the opera
tion of railroads, however, know
that such is not the case.
They know that with an almost
unprecedented tonnage last year
the roads as a whole made less
than six per cent on the capital
invested in the properties. They
know also that increases iu ina.
terials, rolling Stock, labor, etc.,
have been so great, that operating
cost have cut into net earnings to
such an extent that many of_the
roads have asked permission to in
crease rates to meet these unusual
condition b
Take the Naghviiie,
& St. Louis Railway for instance.
The road’s report of operations for
January just issued shows that
operating expenses were over
1100,000 above operating expeus
ses for January 1910, and at that
rate for twelvemonths the increas
