Ground Limestone in Relation to Soil Fertility
The increasing need of St. Clair County soils for lime is the natural result of the long continued cultivation, growth and removal of crops without liming and the leaching out of lime. Aside from these processes, some of the soils such as the gray silt loam on tight clay, on account of their origin and process of formation have probably always been strikingly deficient in lime although this fact was -not generally realized previous to investigations by the Soil Department of the Illinois College of Agriculture.
A low lime content of the soil is accompanied by a condition or reaction called "soil acidity". This condition is exceedingly injurious to the leguminous crops such as the clovers and alfalfa. These crops absolutely fail if the soil is very acid, and this condition must be remedied by liming. Clover bears a closer relation to the problem of permanent soil enrichment in St. Clair County than any other one crop. By growing a good crop of clover once in three years the farmer becomes inde- pendent of the fertilizer industry for his supply of nitrogen, which at present prices is costing 40c a pound. The problem of liming for clover, therefore, for the correc- tion of soil acidity is a fundamental step for profitable crop production.
EFFECT OF LIME
Lime may affect the fertility of soil in several ways all of which are inter-related. Thus lime may (1) improve the physical condition of the soil providing large quan- ities are used; (2) stimulate the development of beneficial soil organisms; (3) aid in making plant food in the soil available to the plant; (4) correct the acidity of the soil thus improving the growth of most all crops.
The most commonly used test to determine when a soil needs lime is the litmus paper test. With good paper in' careful hands the test is reliable. Blue litmus paper will turn a pink color when in contact with a moist sour soil for from five to ten minutes ... The litmus paper test has been the first step in reclaiming many an old sour field.
AMOUNT OF LIMESTONE TO USE
The amount of lime needed depends entirely on the degree of soil acidity. No certain amount of lime can be prescribed without this information. The thing to do, therefore, is to have the soil tested for its lime need and apply the limestone ac- cordingly. A simple chemical test known as the Truog test has come into use reecntly to determine the lime requirements of a soil. In general, it may be said that from 2 to 3 tons of limestone once in six or seven years is a reasonable rate.
FORMS OF LIME
Ground limestone is preferred to hurnt lime or air slacked lime because it gives greater sweetening power per dollar invested thnu the other forms of lime. It is also believed that burnt lime may over-stimulate the decomposition of organic matter In the soll. Ground limestone does not have this stimulating action and it may be safely applied In large quantities at any time without danger of injurlons effects. It should be understood, however, that where burut limo is used, it is not the burnt line which Is at fault. The blame for the Injury should be placed squarely on the failure to have an adequate supply of humus in the soil. The fact cannot be too often repeated that those practices which deplete the humus of the soil also de- plete the lime content.
In determining the relative cost of the different forms of lime, it is important to remember that 1100 pounds of burnt lime or 1500 pounds of hydrated lime equal 2000 pounds of finely ground limestone where all are derived from a high-grade stone.
DEGREE OF FINENESS
Experiments which have been made in comparing limestone pulverized to differ- ent degrees of fineness show that it is the fine dust 'which gives the immediate re- sults in sweetening the soil. The coarser material gradually disintegrates, keeping the soil sweet a longer period of time than where all dust is used. There is a limit of course to the coarseness. It is not advisable to use anything coarser than a 4 mesh including the dust. All things considered, the best stone to use is oue ground fine enough to pass thru an 8 mesh sieve; that is, a sieve with holes approximately one- eighth of an inch across or about like those of a fly screen. Such material will carry a large percentage of fine dust which will have an immediate effect in cor- recting the acidity.
WHERE SHOULD LIME BE APPLIED ?
In general, any convenient time is a good time to apply limestone. However, the application is best made after plowing and the material should be thoroughly disked or harrowed in. Probably the best time to apply is before wheat in the fall so as to allow sufficient time for the proper reaction in the soil before sowing clover. The roads are also good at that time and there is usually more leisure of men and teams. It may be spread on fall plowed land in late fall or winter, or on the corn ground in spring. One year is inadequate to determine the real value of liming because the greatest benefits are not apparent until the second or third year. The

main benefits result from the increased growth of the legumes, without which it is impossible to maintain an adequate supply of nitrogen and humus in the soil. It is therefore not lime alone but lime and humus that sour soils need.
WHAT DETERMINES THE VALUE OF A STONE?
The value of a limestone for agricultural purposes is determined by its calclum carbonate content. Only a relatively pure limestone should be used. In general more than teu per cent of impurity is objectionable, except in special cases. The greater the proportion of impurity the greater the amount of stone required to produce a given amount of carbonate. High grade stone contains 95 per cent or more of calcium carbonate or its equivalent; medium grade contains 85 to 95 per cent; low grade 75 to 85 per cent; and inferior grade below 75 per cent It is apparent that the same sweetening power may be obtained from a low grade stone as with a high grade stone provided larger amounts of the low grade material be used. It is scidom, however, that a low grade stone can be bought at a low enough figure to warrant its usc.

FARMERS AND BREEDERS, MONROE COUNTY
Monroe County Farm Bureau
(By Alfred Tate)
T HE Monroe County Farm Bu- l'eau was organized in Decem- ber, . 1917, but a county advisor was not secured until April 1, 1918. The first work which the county advisor did after coming into the county was to visit every rural school of the county and demonstrate the testing of sced
corn. William Heyl, county su- perintendent of schools, co-oper- ated in the work and accompanied the advisor, help- ing him locate the schools. A defi- nite schedule was ALFRED TATE made out before starting, and each teacher of the county was notified of the date of the meeting, and re- quested to urge the farmers in the dis- trict to be present at the meeting. The advisor felt that the demonstra- tions would be a good way to get ac- quainted with the farmers and at the same time give them a much needed service. On the whole, the demon- strations were well attended, and much interest was shown. It was discovered at these meetings that very few farmers of the county had ever tested seed corn and that nonc had done it in such a way so as to secure a definite record of each ear planted. As a result of these meet- ings much seed corn was tested by the individual ear method during the spring of 1918. Figures have been given by different farmers showing that the results which grew out of this work saved the county enough to pay the farm advisor's salary several · times.
All upland soil in the county which has not had an application of lime- stone is very strongly acid, and most of the bottom land is fast becoming acid. Monroe county has probably more accessible limestone than any. other county of the state. Most of this stone is of a high testing quality.
Comparatively little limestone had been used before the organization of the Farm Bureau. The farm advisor began immediately to urge the use of ground limestone and as a result of this agitation over 100 carloads of limestone were applied during 1918. All who applied limestone had won- derful results with clover the follow- ing summer. The use of limestone spread like wild-fire. There was one small crusher operating when the Farm Bureau was organized. Now there are 12, and several more will be put into operation soon. The prob- lem now is not to get farmers to use limestone, but to get the limestone for them to use.
Several carloads of raw rock phos- phate have been used by Farm Bu- reau members the past year and we expect some good results next year. The farm advisor claims that all of the poor land of the county, much of which was practically abandoned, can be brought up to a high state of fer- tility by the use of limestone and the growing of sweet clover, which should be plowed under green with an ap- plication of raw rock phosphate. The county is fortunate in having a young Farm Bureau member by the name of Oscar Bremser who is a firm be- liever in sweet clover. Seven years ago he moved on to an abandoned farm which was considered to be so poor that it would not pay to crop it. This farm is now one of the most productive farms in the county.
When the Farm Bureau was organ- ized the county was in great need of better livestock, there being only a very few registered sires of any kind. Much has been done to encourage the getting of better livestock, and as a · result five registerd boars, two reg- istered sows and several registered heifers and bulls were purchased by Farm Bureau members.
The Condensary located at Water- loo provides a good market for whole milk, and interest in dairying is de- veloping rapidly. The county advisor has been trying to organize cow test-

1
ing associations, and while none have been organized up to this time, we are sure of having one ready to start operations soon.
The advisor has been advocating "bull associations" ever since com- ing to the county and, with the help of some live dairymen in the neigh- borhood of Hecker and the Univer- sity of Illinois, a Holstein Bull As- sociation was organized this past summer. This association intends to buy a $1,000 bull. We believe that much improvement in our dairy cat- tle will grow out of this start.
The Farm Bureau has done much in the way of getting its members to do better feeding. They have been taught the value of a balanced ration; they have been encouraged to grow as much of their feed on their own farms as possible; the use of patent stock foods has been discouraged; the building of more silos has been recommended; tankage, cottonseed meal, linseed mcal and barley arc bought co-operatively through the Farm Bureau by the carload at a con- siderable reduction in price; and prac- tically every Farm Bureau member is now growing alfalfa. Many of the members have built self-feeders for their hogs.
The Farm Bureau has done much to teach farmers the value of good seed of all kinds. Farmers have been taught to select their seed corn from the field, dry it thoroughly and keep it where it will not freeze. Practic- ally no Farm Bureau member would think of plantng seed corn now which has not been tested. Seventy bushels of pedigreed seed corn were pur- chased for members last spring and a lot of guaranteed Kansas-grown alfalfa seed was bought this fall. The county advisor has given many dem- onstrations on troating seed oats for smut and seed wheat for smut and scab.
The Farm Bureau has been, active in combating insect enemies. The farm advisor co-operated with state officials in a campaign against chinch- bugs last winter and last spring. Burning demonstrations were held, and the growing of cowpeas or soy- beans with corn was recommended. It was noticeable this fall that Farm Bureau members observed the fly-free
date for sowing wheat much more closely than non-members. £ The county owes much to Mr. Emil Stumpf for the good work he has donc in connection with Hessian fly. He has made a thorough study of the fly on his own farm, and claims that his knowledge of the Hessian fly saved him fully $2,000 in the year of 1915.
The Executive Committee decided soon after the organization of the Farm Bureau that one of the most important things for the county was better roads and a good roads com- mittee was appointed to co-operate with state and county officials to se- cure better roads. It is the belief of the Executive Committee that it would be the cheapest and best for all concerned if every county road were made into a satisfactory hard road as soon as possible.
The need of teaching agriculture in the schools of the county was brought to the attention of the Ex- ecutive Committee by the county ad- visor and it was decided that the best means of filling this need would be the establishing of several commun- ity high schools in the county. Mr. H. G| Schmidt, Supt. of the Township High School of Belleville, Illinois, was secured to explain the commun- ity high school proposition at the first annual farmers' picnic this sum- mer. Prof. HI. A. Hollister was ob- tained to present the matter at the Farmers' 'Institute a few days ago, and it looks now as though at least three such community high schools would soon be established.
The membership in the Monroe County Farm Bureau numbered 220 when the advisor began work on April 1, 1918. The membership has been steadily increasing ever since and we now have 337 members. Every member but one had paid his membership fee by the end of the first year and this one has now paid for both the first and second year. It . was reported from the State Leader's office last spring that we had the best financial standing of any farm bureau in the state.
The Monroe County Farm Bureau was one of the first farm bureaus of the state to join the Illinois Agricul- tural Association. John C. Gummer- sheimer and John Andres were sent

from this county as delegates to the annual meeting of the Illinois Ag- ricultural Association which was held at Peoria last January. John C. Gummersheimer who is also pres- ident of our Farm Bureau, was chosen to represent the southern part of the state as a member of the Executive Committee of the Illinois Agricultural Association.
The work accomplished by the Monroe County Farm Bureau during
the short time which it has been op- crating is due to a large extent to the hearty co-operation of the mem- bers of the Executive Committee. They are a live bunch of progressive farmers who have always been willing and ready to co-operate with the ad- visor in anything which is for the good of farmers of the county. We have never failed to have a quorum at an Executive Committee meeting, and at most meetings all are present.
