STATE LIME Manv inquiries have been direct cd to this office w ith reference to the State Lime which is now man ufactnred at Gold Hill, and how this should be used. State Lime is ordered through Mr. R. L. Stevens, Warden, at Salem, the Grange, or the Conn V Agent. The cost at Gold Hill is $1.75 per ton, and the freight to this county is $3.00 to $8.2 making the ground lime stone cost $4.75 to $5.00 per ton. Th material comes in bulk in cji loads of thirty to fifty tons, the average being forty tons, as thir ty-ton cars arc scarce. This ground limestone diffe from quick lime in that the car bon is still present. One hundred pounds of the ground lime ston would make 5(5 pounds of quic or burnt lime, and 74 pounds of hvdrated or slacked lime. It i therefore not as strong as eithc oi me oincr tonus, tmt lias an added advantage in that w he the proper amount is applied to the soil its beneficial effect will continue three or four years. The use of lime has increased the yields of crops, and in prac tical all the valley counties and also the coast counties. In Mult nomah County the yield of corn was increased 100 per cent th first year and 25 per cent the seeoiui. i lie yield ot clover was increased 25 per cent and an to 10 bushel increase was noted with oats. In general, the use of ground lime stone is recommend cd only for the leguminous crops Increased yields of other crops will be noted after the legum nave dccn removed. lood rc suits cannot be expected on soil that arc very poorly drained. The County Agent has mad tests of soils in a number of sec tions of the county, including IJeaverton, Hillsboro, Corneliu and Forest Grove, and has found that on the average about tw Ions of the ground limestone pe acre will be required. Where less than car lots are desired, it is advisable that number co-operate in each com munity and order a car direct, or make your wants known to the nearest Grange or to the County Agent.

Automobile Hearse Hillsboro, Oregon NEW SMUT TREATMENT During the past two seasons in Washington County there has been considerable evidence of smut in grain despite the fact that practically all the farmers are treating their grain with citb Formalin or blue Vitrol, A num ber of tests have been made with these solutions, and it has been found that Formalin is giving better results, a smaller per cent of smut being present after its use. A new use of the Formalin is now being practiced which promises to give better results than the former methods of dip ping. The new method Is: To one pint of Formalin add one pint of water, and placing this in the band snraver, spray lightl the iirain as it is being shoveled over so that one quartof mixture covers 40 or 50 bushels. With oats the grain is piled up and covered with sacks for about foil hours: sacks are then removed and the grain is ready for plant imr. With wheat, the sacks should not be allowed to remain over the grain more than a few minutes. In using this method care nuist be taken that all th smut balls are removed prior to treatment with the fanning mill The advantages of this method are that the irrain is not soaked up thereby, causing it to swell and is much easier handled, so small amount of moisture being present that it is hardly noticcn iile: then practically all the smut is killed as shown by tests mad last year. In these tests gram untreated showed 22 per cent of smut; where treated with bin vitrol 15 per cent smut present and where l lis new memon oi Formalin treatment, or Haskell method was used, no sniiit show d up in the field.
