An abundance of lime is harmful to grass, bulbs ‘such as gladiolus, potatoes, and numerous other plants which thrive best in an acid or mild- ly acid soil condition. On the other hand, it is helpful to the legumes, such as the clovers, peas including sweet peas, asparagus and some oth- er crops which soil acidity harms. The main use of lime, therefore, is in correcting soil acidity and im- proving the physical condition of heavy clay soils. It does" the latter by its action on the substances that [cause the clays to become sticky and bake hard. Lime should therefore be used rather as a soil amendment and not primarily as a fertilizer. \ Weekly Cr0p Report Fall wheat and meadows made wonderful growth during the early part of May, which was featured by exceptionally high temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Spraying of or- chards was carried on throughout the fruit growing- districts, as the bloom came on very rapidly. A great amount of spring seeding was ac- complished during- this period\ and all kinds of'garden crops transplant- ed. For instance in Lincoln County in one district alone there will be over 300,000 transplanted beets. Cloâ€" ver crops have also come along rap- idly. and it is safe to say that crops generally never looked more pr0m~ ising at this time of year. Down in Frontenac County many farmers are complaining of heavy attacks of the flea beetle, injuring both vegetables in the field and in the hot beds. Seed cleaning plants were running at full capacity and there has been a keen demand for commercial fertilizers. Lime Not a Fertilizer Strictly speaking, lime in any of its forms, is not a fertilizer. but ra- ther belongs to the class of soil a- mendments. It does not contain any of the three essential plant foods: nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash. Its main element is calcium which is required in relatively small quantiâ€" ties for plant growth and most soils contain sufficient of it naturally. The selection for vigour and for those desirable qualifications that conform to the breed is compara- tively simple, because these are mostly visible characters and can be chosen by comparison. Vigour is evident by the. carriage, desirable body weight [for age and breed, health and bloom of feather, and good bone formation. A clean-cut head with clear, bright and prominâ€" ent; eye in the male and female is a certain indication of brain power and nervous energy and the hall- mark of hiqh vitality and reproduc- tive strength. 1. The use of a road scraper on a ‘frosty morning; 2, the use of a heavy beam about 8 to 10 feet long drawn across the field; 3, the use of a ’broad heavy hoe (one man can sometimes cut two acres a day with this tool); 4, in some cases a mower may be used. The corn should be cut when dry and burned the same day. A number of suggestions were made regarding the treatment ' of corn stubble. It was agreed that stubble over! 4 inches long ought to be crushed‘or broken off before ploughing. A planker or leveler was suggested for this purpose; it was admitted that a disk run over the rows twice might do the job, and, in May, when the roots are rotten, a. harrow turned upside down and run both ways over the stubble will drag almost all of it out. Stopping the Corn Borer Several suggestions were advanc- ed at the recent convention of corn borer inspectors regarding treatment of standing corn. They were as fol- lows: Suggestions re ploughing were to use a broad bottom plough that will turn a 10 or 12â€"inch furrow. The furrows should be at least 5 inches- deep, or better, 6 inches deep. The plough should be equipped with a skimmer and a chain, and sometimes also with a number 9 wire 8 to 10 feet long. Ploughing should always be done lengthwise of the rows, and the last round before the stubble row should be run within 2 inches of the stubble so that on the next round the stubble will fall flat into the furrow. After ploughing it is very necess- ary that in working the soil a disk =hould be used instead of a toothed‘ implement. Sunday: Had to go to S. S. & the] teecher sed children who go to S.
