(By W. M. Goodman.) The author of "Footprints of the Creator" thought that In the vegetable life of the carboniferous age, from which our coal - beds were formed, was fovnd the most striking proof that .All-Wise Providence made special provisions for man before his appearaaoe sa earth. This may also apply to oar great limestone formations, which oo- ear la practically all of the ancient periods of the world's history. The aloe of lime, as ased In many arts and Indus tries, la universally recognised, and when we consider the wellestablished fact that this material la - A e_.

Bat, whether we assume that these materials wsre placed here by design for the use of man, or as results of physical evolution carriad forward aftsr a general plan, the fact remains that they are among the natural re- , sources which are classed as essentials.

F* * Value of Lime in Agriculture. fur the paat decade many experiments have been conducted to determine the value of lime In agriculture, and, as was the case with those report- i ed In the Tennessee Agricultural Ex-! parineut Station Bulletiu No. 118, a I wide variety of crop- uas used, from legamee with high iime ~e<julremenr.? |, I best (^airy^^l^^ you know IkMlfadonlfo Their answers will convince you t the big producers don't depend uj grass, but find it necessary to sup elements that properly balance it.

The purpose of these experiments has been to And out not only the immediate value of lime 1- soli production for the various soils, bat also the Anal effect on the soil itsslf. The results have bMB euch as led to tbe adoption of a resolution at a recant lime conference attended by directors of southern experiment ata- i tlona, that, "The agreement la unanimous that the soils of the southeastern states are seriously deficient la lime, so that limine la eeaeotlel to their moat profitable development and permanent Improvement" Effects of Liming. Quoting from the bulletin referred to, "Tbe effect of liming on alfalfa has been especially marked. In fact, tbe getting of protltahle crops without lime is so unusual as to attract attention. Numerous experiments have been made to determine tbe effects of liming on both com and wbeat under common farm couditlons. In twelve series the average yield of corn wa9 36.5 bushels per acre where limed but where unlimed the average was only BO 8 bushels. Some of the experlmen-a were carried oat for several years and with favorable effects continued year after year. It la shown that liming increases nearly all farm crops. This moans chat larger residues of vegetable matter are left 1c the aoil and that is a result soli fertility la conserved for the crop* that follow." When we add to such statements made by oar highest agricultural authorities the taatlmony of practical fanners In all pans of the south we bave all the proof required to convince the most skeptical that for prao tlcally all uplands In this region long In cultivation and much depleted -a fertility, liming will prove highly beneQcisl. The accompanying illustrations show the difference In growth of erops on limed and unllmed land, and In the lame held. In order to attain the highest su> pess in fanning, the southern farmer must grow legumes to Increase the projuclng power of the soil. and. as stated ay r>r. Harvey \Y.
