LIME will BRINd
weal/th to south.
The United States department of
agriculture is advising the farmers
of the country to maintain grain and
livestock production, ' as all available
information now indicates that
there will be continued strong de\
mands for these products."
There will also be strong demands
^ for other farm products, including
the two staple money crops of the
South, cotton and tobacco. Production
is not keeping pace with inereasing
consumption, and by giving some
thought to the present and future
needs of this country's growing popu*
.lation, we will see. the importance of
making our farms yield more of everything
that can be raised at a profit.
Therefore, the nrodnrine' nower of
the soil is the first thing to be considered.
If we are to "restore mea i
dows and.pastures broken during war
emergencies, and re-establish crop
^ rotation to prevent depletion of
soils," as the department advises, we
must adopt methods of soil building
- ttiat will iiisure success. The most
economical way is the use of leg,
umes to supply organic matters, and
. such crops may be grown successfully
on most soils that are properly
limed.
Leading agricultural authorities
agree that liming is just as fundamental
to agriculture as cultivation
of the soil and fertilization of crops,
and this is attested by the remarkable
increase in the use. of agricultural
limestone during the past decade
and by actual results obtained by
practical farmers in all sections of
the coufitry?not only in large yields
of clover, alfalfa, and other forage
crops, but of corn, wheat, oats, cotton,
etc.
Among the resolutions adopted at
a lime conference held recently by
representatives of various experi:7
ment stations of the South we find,
"The agreement is uninamous that
the soils of the Southeastern States
\v ^
are seriously deficient in lime, so that
liming is essential to their most profitable
develoDment and Dermanent
improvement."
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, noted chemist
and food expert, as well as a successful
farmer, says:
"There is scarcely any necessity at
the present time for any further com-munications
respecting the value of
lime in agriculture. Both from a
physical and chemical point of view,
it is of supreme importance. It tends
to firm a sandy soil and loosen a
heavy clay. Leguminous crops can
y;> A not be grown without an abundance
\; of lime. It is also useful in many
\k, non-leguminous crops. I believe the
potato is the only important crop
where lime is considered harmful.
My own experience has led me to
abandon entirely the use of burned
or hydrate lime and to use only the
finely ground limestone. I realize
that I am paying for the transporta,
tion of a lot of carbonic acid, but I
' am not burning the humus out of the
1 . soil. In the case of alfalfa I use two
tons of ground limestone per acre."
Dr. Wiley answers the question
so often asked, "What does lime
/ do?"
Most farmers know that to grow
legumes they must use lime in some
^ form, and they are beginning to learn
something concerning its value in
growing non-leguminous crops.

a natural resources, and while the expense
of establishing and operating
I manufacturing plants, as special in'
dustries required to supply large de^
mands, has raised the price to
the farmer a little above that
f for which pulverized limestone
was sold when it was marketed
as a by product, it is
still* the cheapest material that can
he obtained for improving sbils and
increasing the yields of nearly all
. crops. ,
The use of lime in crop rotation
will bring wealth to the South. It
will insure abundant harvests of forage
and grain, that are necessary to
success in livestock farming and increase
the acre yields of such "mon/
ey crops" as cotton and tobacco.

HOW CHEOPS BROKE A STRIKE.
Soldiers Ended Walkout of Pyramid
Workers With Swords.
Labor strikes are not the product
of- the last hundred years, as some
people think. They were frequent
even in the earlier record days.
One of the greatest strikes that the
world has ever known occurred :ri
Eygpt in the rei.^n of Cheops, several
thousand years before the Christian i
era.
Cheops ordered a great pyramid to
be built in his honor, and while it
was in course of construction it is
said that 50,000 workmen downed
tools and refused to continue the
work.
The reason they gave was that the
food with which they were furnished
was insufficient in quantity and poor
in quality.
The contractors tried arguing with
them, and when that failed soldiers
were ordered to drive the strikers
back to work. Many thousands of
them were cut to pieces, while a certain
number escaped and fled the
country.
The others were compelled to resume
their work.
Deadly Poison to Eradicate Weevil.
Washington, Oct. 3.?A deadly poison
to the boll weevil, the insect
which has cost southern cotton planters
$100,000,000 annually, has been
discovered in the form of dry powdered
calcium arsenate by the bureau
of entomology of the department of
agriculuture. Although calcium arsenate
has been used at the government
experimental stations since 1914 aa
an insecticide, the department of agri
culture has started only recently the
campaign for wide application of the
poison. Already cotton planters are
showing "keen interest in the experiment
and many planters over the entire
belt have treated their fields.
NEWSPAPER MAN APPOINTED.
B. P. Paries, Editor of the Barnvisor
for 2nd District.
B. P. Davies, editor of the Barnwell
People, has been appointed Supervisor
of the Census for the Second
Congressianl District for South Carolina,
which includes the counties of
Aiken, Allendale, Bamberg, Barnwell,
Edgefield, Hampton, Jasper and Saluda,
with a population in 1910 of
190,307. It will be recalled that
David W. Gaston, Jr., of Aiken, received
the appointment some time
ago but was disqualified because of
the fact that he is a member of the
legislature. Mr. Davies has been engaged
in newspaper work practically
all of his life and during the World
War served as chief clerk to the local
exemption board for Barnwell county,
where he gained experience that will
prove valuable to him in his new position.
His application was accompanied
by letters of endorsement
from Congressman Byrnes, ex-Governor
Manning and numbers of prominent
business and professional men
in Barnwell and Allendale counties.

"Well," answered Farmer Corntossel,
"if the summer boarders aren't
playin' jazz - on the phonograph

Nations,* so I'm lingerin' out here
