PAGE FOUR THURSDAY, MAR. 13, 1941 HE WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER County Agent Says Clovers Need Lime Full benefits from limestone applications will not be obtained until a sufficient amount of it has gone into solution in the soil, says Glen E. Mutti, County Agent. The length of time for this occur will depend upon the rate of application, degree of fineness of the material used the thoroughness in which it is mixed with surface soil, and the amount of rainfall. When the limestone used is ground fine enough so that 90 per cent or more of it will all pass through a 10-mesh screen, about 50 per cent of it will pass a 40-mesh sieve, and nearly 30 per cent a 100-mesh sieve.

This finer material under normal weather conditions goes into solution quickly and will be available to plants. The coarse material goes into solution much more slowly. Since the material is to meet the total deficiency, unless sufficient time is permitted for this fraction to get into solution before the heavy lime feeding legumes, such as sweet and red clover and alfalfa begin growth, poor results will likely be obtained. Thoroughly incorporating the lime with the surface soil will also cause it to become available more quickly than where it is left on the surface or improperly mixed with soil. Where applications are made in accord with soil test recommendations, and it is thoroughly mixed with the surface soil under normal rainfall conditions, there will usually be a lime available a year after application for the successful growth of legumes.

Better results, however, are secured on soils of low fertility if the lime is applied 18 months previous to seeding these legurnes. An extra precaution to take in obtaining thicker, more vigorous stands of these legumes where the lime has been applied less than a year before the legumes are to be seeded is the drilling in an additional 500 to 600 pounds of 10-mesh lime in with the legume seed. It is important where the small applications of lime are applied to get the legume seed near the streak of lime left by the drill. This can be done best with a clover seed attachment oh the drill allowing the seed to fall in drill row. If this can not be done the lime can be drilled in and the clover seed sown afterwards depending on the spring rains to wash the seed into the drill rows where the lime is concentrated.

Please drive sately tomorrow Cinnamon Bear Is Guest Of Mexico On Saturday Followed by a small group of wide-eyed children and gaping adults, a cinnamon bear weighing over 650 pounds was the guest of Mexico Saturday afternoon when two caretakers of the Barnes-Caruthers RKO company in Chicago stopped here for auto repairs on their way from Kansas City where the bear was shown in the Proctor and Gamble shows. The bear was riding in the back seat of the trainer's sedan.

Gently Mauled The Daily News reporter was gently but firmly mauled as he tried to elicit information from the trainers, but it was all in good fun.

During the few minutes exercise the trainer gave "Big Boy" in front of the Jefferson Hotel, the 650-pounder managed to wrap his heavy paw around several bystanders' legs to show his affection. The trainer demonstrated the bear's gentleness by putting a piece of chocolate between his teeth and letting "Big Boy" take it out.

But when "Big Boy" opened his mouth and took the reporter's arm in it, that was getting a little too familiar, and the newshound quietly slipped away from the crowd of youngsters to the comparative safety of the Daily News office where a bear is a person with a grouch and not a cinnamon hide.
