BACKS WATERWAYS
Hoover has taken a position of
leadership in advocating waterways
development, and since the Mississ-
ippi flood last year and his esecensive
relief work, has done much in for-
warding flood control. •
One of his most notable campaigns
was for economy in rubber consump-
tion. This was undertaken three
years ago in responee to the high
prices caused by the British rubber
monopoly's restriction •of export.
The honors paid this native of
West Branch, Iowa, are ,probably as
numerous as those ever paid to any
living man. He bolds honorary de-
grees from 25 foreign and American

While we were at rest here, alter
some hours of travel at the rate of
at least twelve miles an hour, the
driver uncoupled his engine and pro-
ceeded down the line with it in the
direction we were not to take.
The passengers walked contentedly
up and down, ate oranges, or watched
the bloom of figs, pears, and quinces
in the orchard and the acacias in the
garden beyond. At last I became un-
easy and asked where the driver had
gone.
"Pedro has run down the line on
his engine to take a birthday gift to
his mother who lives over there," ex-
plained the stationmaster; "he is in-
deed a good son, and will not trust
his parcel to the post." And when
the good son had come back from his
mission he restoeed the engine to its
proper position, and we re-entered
the train, which went on ith journey
after three-quarters of an hour's
delay.
On another occasion, just as we
were leaving a wayside station, some
young turkeys escaped from the gar-
den, and the stationmaster stopped

DOES LIMING
PAY?,
Lime is not a fertilizer, and in-
creases fertility only indirectly as it
renders conditions favorable for the i
liberation of plant food, and also as
le stimulates bacterial action, which
in turn acts on the organic matter
in the soil, and breaks it up into a
form available for plant food. Lime
also improves the texture of the soil
by flocculation of the soil particles.
Its greatest value however, lies in its
capacity to correct soil acidity. Many
crops will not grow wo]1 on acid
soils. This is true of most of our
common farm crops, but is particu-
larly apparent in connection with
legumes, and as these crops furnish
our most economical source of ni-
trogen, their place in 'the crop rota-
tion
ota
tion is doubly important,
Lime to be used in correcting soil
acidity, is put on the market in many
different forms. It has been deter -
minted that material applied in the
form of finely ground limestone is
the most desirable and ceonomicel.
The rate of application varies with
the degree of acidity in the soil.
In order to determine the actual
increase in crop yields due to the
application of ground limestone, 3
project has been under way at
the Dominion Experimental Station.
l'ennoxville, for five years. Ground
limestone is applied to the land on
one set of plots, at the race of two
tons ped sero, just before seeding
the oat crop, in a rotation of corn,
to n rotation of corn, oats, clover,
timothy. Manure is applied to 'the
Erna previous to ploughing for corn

is a very important factor in obtain-
ing high yields.
It has also been proven that lime
may be applied with very beneficial
results on old pasture land, In many
instances the carrying capacity of
such pastures has been increased by
an application of two tons of greend•
limestone, In answer to our title,
it might be said that liming cer-
tainly does pay in the Eastern Town-
ships, or an section where an acid
