X Tillamook Headlight, July 23, 1914. ■ lime stone deposit at south prairie . Krebs Bros. Make Dis covery Near Brick Yard. Lime, thousands of tons of it, which will mean increased ciops and increas ed profits for the farmers of Tillamook Countv will soon be available for fer tilizing purposes. The Krebs Bros., owners of the Till amook Clay works, have discovered a lime deposit at South Prairie, near their brick and tile factory that means much to our farmers. For several months these men have been investigating and analyzing to be sure it wa9 of sufficient quality and quanti ty for agricultural purposes. It has been investigated by the Agricultural College and pronounced a high grade of lime. Prof. Collier of the Oregon Geol ogical Survey spent several days here this week looking over the deposit and reports it a high grade of lime. The price has not yet been fixed, but it will be by far the cheapest ever sold to the farmer of this county and such as will put the mineral within the reach of every farmer for the sweetening of his land. Analysis of the lime shows that it tests better than 85 per cent of calcium carbonate, making of it an ideal lime. Following is the analysis of the 0. A. C.: I have analyzed three samples of the limestone we obtained Thursday calling the samples Nos. 1, 2, and 3. Sample No. 1 is a fragment broken from a boulder of the dense gray limestone which we thought looked pretty good which we found up the creek near Owens’ propertv. No. 2 is a lump of the limestone taken from the hole we dug at the greatest depth, obtained just before we went home. No. 3 is a piece from this same place just after we put off the first shot of powder. These analysis indicate as you will see. that the material where we dug the hole is really a better grade of limestone than the gray uniform tex tured material which we found in the creek farther up. All of these are suffi ciently high in lime to make them of value for your purposes. The analyses are as follows: No. 1 No. 2 No. 3 9.3 9.9 12.8 Silica (Si02) 1.8 1.8 Iron Oxide (Fe2O3) 2.7 3.9 4.7 Alumina (A12O3) 5.4 46.1 46.2 Calcium oxide(CaO)40.8 Magnesium 1.3 1.0 oxide (MgO) 3.1 Calculated carbonate. 82.4 82.5 from CaO (CaCO3)?2.8 Calculated carbonate 2.8 2.1 from MgO (MgCO3)6.4 3.1 In other words the limestone at the point where we dug the hole would probably have a value as soil fertilizer equivalent to about eightyfive per cent of that of a pure limestone. Signed S. W. French, Metallurgist. 0. A. C. Corvallis, Ore. According to present arrangements the Krebbs Bros, will sell direct to the farmer and not through middle men. Under date of July 10, 1914, The Morning Register of Eugene, Oregon, speaking of the arrangements to supply limestone to the farmers of Lane Coun ty direct from the quarries of Southern Oregon, speaks as follows : For months these two agriculturists have worked on the proposition of opening to the farmers of the state the lime deposits of the south, and their success now means that the product will soon be available at a reasonable rate per ton. According to the estimates of the soil experts at the Oregon state col lege, practically every acre of farm land west of the Cascade mountains is in need of lime treatment. The soil has been worn out through constant farming and with little or no rotation of crops. Land plaster, tried time and again, has not been’successful and the farmer« have found that lime is the saviour of the soil. Hitherto it has teen too expensive to use in this man ner and hence the soil has gone with out the necessary care. First treat ment of land, it is thought, would mean the spreading on of about one ton of lime to the acre. This can be done with the machines formerly used for spreading land plaster by slightly remodeling them. At the end of two or three yean another layer of lime should be spread on the land and thus by making the treatment gradual the expense is not too great and the soil is benefited by thorough treatment. The lime discovered at South Prairie is better than that of southern Oregon and showed to be very valuable to our soil as the tests made of our soil re veals the fact that it is all more or less sour. (Later) We have just learned that the Krebs Bros, are organizing a com pany for the further development of this lime deposit, further then they are able to develop alone. Following is from a letter of Prof. H. D. Scudder, Prof, of Agronomy and Supt. of farm, Corvallis, Ore. The practice of liming of soils for agricultural production has been fully worked out for a great many years, and it is definitely understood that the *oils,of Tillamook County, like those of all the counties, are very acid in re action. This aeid condition is due large ly to the lack of lime, which is highly soluble and haa been leached out of the coast toils through excessive rainfall. This acid or sour condition is harmful to most common crops, and that it is particularly harmful to the leguminous crops (such as clover, vetch, alfalfa, peas and the like) is well known. This is due particularly to the deleterious etfiects of soil acidity on the nitrogen gathering bacteria which have so much to do with the thrifty growth of legum inous crops and hence with the fertility of the soil. Lime is the only practica ble remedy for this acid soil condition, and the most desirable form of lime for agricultural use is the ground lime stone, unburned. This is because ground limestone is not only the cheapest form of lime but also because it is more easily applied, its effects endure longer and it does rot have the injurious ef fects on the humus of the soil that oc curs from the use of the caustic form of lime, such as hydrated and quick lime. Ground limestone should be applied at the rate of not less than two tons per acre. Such an application should be made under your conditions every four or five years. For the freest and larg est use of limestone, however, the price to the farmer must be low. At the present the farmer can buy the quick lime or the lump lime on the Portland market at ill per ton. This quick lime, although not quite so de sirable a form for soil use, as mention ed above, has just double the acid cor rective value of the ground limestone, and therefore its cost for freight and handling is approximately one half, since one ton of quick lime will go as far as two tons of ground limestone. Of course, quick lime must be slaked, but this can be done by the farmer on his land at comparatively small cost. In other words, ground limestone for its acid corrective value is worth not more than one half what quick lime costs—that is 5.50 in Portland. Your limestone, which I understand accordong to the analysis of the Bureau of Mines runs about 82J per cent cal cium carbonate, is of eoures not high grade. A high grade limestone runs 95 per cent calcium carbonate. But this limestone is of sufficient good quality to make it very valuable for agricul tural use throughout your locality and even in the Willamette Valley if it can be gotten out and and ground at a low enough cost. In the Tillamook and coast region, while applications of two tons per acre would be very beneficial, in many cases (particularly on the heavier soils) there is little doubt that double an application of that amount would be much better. The application may be made any time in the year that the farmer can get on the land and disk the applica tion in thoroughly. Thus the work can be done at such times in the fall or spring when other work is not press ing and teams are idle. If I can give you any further infor mation in this matter, let me hear from you. Yours very truly, H. D. Scudder. The report made by the Interstate Commerce Commission to the Senate yesterday in the New Haven Railway case has been seen to be inevitable ever since the putting of Mr. Mellen on the stand at the beginning of the investigation. The report, however shows an extent of enormities and dishonesties which the public has not suspected. It it a 30,000-word docu ment, going into necessary details of how a great railway system was wrecked in ways which, the commis sion reports, have never been equaled in all of the history of railway wreck ing in the United States. This is an indictment it might seem hard to prove, since there have been a num ber of railway wreckers who have shown all of the mental stigma of the most confirmed criminals. But the commission proves its case before it stops. It sets out, as the general purpose and plan of the conspiracy, the set ting up of a complete monopoly of all the transportation interests of New England "in violation of state and federal laws.” That the violation was deliberate, and in contempt of law it produces a mass of evidence to prove. But in the producing of this evidence it produces evidence of what, wc think, will be admitted to be a great er crime than any effort to establish a monopoly. In the mass of matter it lays before the senate is much evidence of a downright conspiracy for the robbery of investors in cor porate securities. There was "habit ual payment of unauthorized vouchers without any clear specification of de tails,” “confusing interrelation of the principal company and its subsidia ries and consequent complications of accounts,” “ ‘issuing large blocks of New Jiaven stocks for notes of the New England Navigation Company and manipulating these securities back and forth,” “fictitious sales of New Haven stock to friendly parties with the design of boosting the sto«-k and unloading on the public at the higher prices,” and a multitude of other and greater diversions of funds and manipulation of stocks and se curities of the lines, for the enrich ment of an inside ring of speculators who may have had monopoly as their object, but who were overlooking no point in the playing of side games with loaded dice. The Commission reports that the perpetrators of these frauds should be held both civilly and criminally liable. Not all of them are now liv ing. One, Mr. Mellen is claimed to have taken an immunity bath in tell ing the commission th'c. most of what it is now reporting to Congress. What may come of civil suits by despoiled stockholders to compel restitution nobody can say. One sign of promise for the future is found in that part of the report in which the commis sioners say that the new president of the New Haven, Howard Elliott, and Walker D. Hines, its special council, "have co-operated with the commis sion and rendered it substantial as sistance throughout this investiga tion.” There is no doubt that the New Haven system is now in honest and capable hands. Thcdoubt is as to what can be or will be done to the still living rascals who wrecked it. This is a doubt arising in all such cases, and one which must be re What Becomes of the Used Automo moved if American railway securities are hereafter to find favor with in biles? vestors, either at home or abroad.
