LIME AS A SOIL IMPROVER; Ty,?wTwwww?? w ? ? a rrrm i w w w *1 Lime is not a fertilizer, but what is termed an "amendment." because it brings about eifects in the soil that make the plant food already present more available. It sweetens add soils, bringing about conditions favorable for the increase of the microorganism that are helpful. These microorganisms decompose organic matter and liber ate the plant food which Is stored thercnl so that it can be used by the growing crops. Soil water charged with carbonic acid, which Is a product of the breaking down of organic mat ter, is our strongest natural solvent. In this way mineral plant food will be dissolved more readily and made vail able to the plant. Under certain con ditions lime liberatos some potash from its insoluble combinations and makes it available. Some very desirable physical effects are produced by lime. It flocculates clay Causing it to become more granu lar and consequently more open. On the other hand It tends to cement the sandy soils making them less porous. There are three forms of lime used for agricultural purposes: quick lime, waterslacked lime, and carbonate of lime. The two forms first mentioned are quickly changed, in the soil, or when long exposed to the air, to the carbonate form. The finely ground limestone rock is already In the car bonate form. The quick lime is most drastic in its effects, the water slack ed next, and the carbonate is mildest. Quick lime Is the same whether it is made by burning oyster shells, lime Illllltllllllllllltllttlltl stone rock or marl. When buying boar in mind that you want pounds of ac tual lime, therefore the analysis Is of prime importance. We advise a lib eral application of the lime at long in tervals, rather than the use of a small amount often. We would use at least a ton of tin* finely ground limestone, or of marl, or 1000 pounds or more per acre of the quick lime, or of the so called agricultural limes which are us ually mixtures of the qUfck, water slacked, and air slacked lime. it is preferable to apply the lime as long before planting as is practicable. Quick lime is somewhat difficult to handle on account of its drastic nature It is best to put this form In small piles at intervals over tue field and cover with earth, it will slack and can then be distributed without much in-1 convenience. Quick lime, if pure, runs 1 higher in content of lime than other forms of lime, but is more expensive. When the farmer fully realizes that lime is an amendment, anil not a fer tilizer, thai it acts best in connection with an abundant supply of organic matter, and. that, if properly used its beneficial effects are many it will lind a permanent place in our system of agriculture. Do not mix lime with fer tilizers that contain a soluble phos phate or a salt of ammonia. Thsl station lias gottotl Rood results from applications of lime at Clomson College and also In our experimental work in the lower part of the State. T. 11. Keltt, Chemist, S. C. Agr. Bxp't Stn. COTTON SHOWS DETERIOATIOIN Government Report Shows that the Condition of the Crop is not as Good as Formerly Reported. Washington, Stpt. I.?A total pro duction of 12,918,200 bales of cotton as the final yield this year is indi cated by the department of agricul ture's official report of the condition of the growing crop on August 25, which the crop reporting board, from reports from its correspondents and agents throughout the cotton belt, es timated today at Til.2 per cent, of a normal. This estimate, based on the ratio o? the average yield for the past ten years to the average condition of the crop on August 25 for the past ten years, would mean a final yield of 181.CS pounds per acre on the planted area of approximately 34,000,000 acres, allowing for an aba- doned acerage of 1.000 ,000 and provided the crop does not decline or improve from the date the ocndltlon was estimated to the time of lucking. These estimates of production, while unofficial, were reckoned by the of ficial method adopted by the depart ment of agriculture and used by the crop reporting board in its monthly estimates of the final yield of the Im portant cereal crops of the country. Unofficial advices from the cotton belt indicate the most Important de clines in the crop were due to severe droughts, hot winds and worms. Re ports indicate that heavy shedding caused by hot weather was the chief factor of deterioration in practically all States, ercept Louisiana and Mis sissippi, where there was too much rain. In all other States heat ami drought greatly damaged cotton dur ing tin* month, especially in Texas and Oklahoma. I mproVCIIICIll Kvpccted. Since the date on which the condi tion was taken -August 25?-there have been general rains which greatly re lieved conditions and considerable in: provemenl is looked for when the Oc toher report is issued. The condition of the growing cotton crop on August 25 was 7:'..2 per cent, of a normal, as compared with 89.1 I per cent, on .Inly 1911; 72.1 per cent on August 25, 1010: 03.7 per c?n( on August 27,. 1909, and 73.5 per cent., tin' average of the past 'en years on AtlgUSl acording to the crop reporting board of the bureau of statistics of the United States depart ment of agriculture, estlmaed from the reports of the correspondents and agents of the bureau.
