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

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.

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
