The guarantee that has been given to Alice Nielsen by the Bedpatb Chautau . quas is said to be the highest since Bar num's spectacular Jenny Lind engage ment. Indeed, it might be said that Alice Nielsen's, contract is more favor able than Jenny Lind's, for she receives ; $50,000 for a five months' season and a share in the. profits above a certain amount. This is $50,000 for five months as against Jenny Lind's guarantee of three times that sum for considerably more than threefold the length of time. The contract made by Barnum with jenny .Liner is similar in many ways with that made with Miss Nielsen. Miss Lind bad all of her expenses paid and also the expenses of her accompanist, assisting artists and companions. Just so with Miss Nielsen, but she has the advantage of living in a more advanced age, and therefore the expenses that are to be paid for her include traveling over the entire Chautauqua circuit in a pri vate car, which the Pullmau Company has named the "Alice Nielsen. " One of the items that Jenny Lind had put into her contract was that -she was to be furnished with horses and a carriage in every place in which they stopped. Miss Nielsen is to have an automobile. Rural Credit. One of the largest and most success ful Rural Credit Associations of the United States will organize the farmers of Tennessee into co-operative rural credit associations.

Every county in Tennessee will have representative of the association for the purpose of organizing the farmers of his county.

Order early. Yours to please, : HARDY GROCERY CO. Phones 7 and 14. C. P. Hardy, Manager Ground Limestone. The value of ground limestone to the farmers of Middle and West Tennessee, and the ease with which this can be pro cured, were very clearly stated recently in an interview with Robert Ewing, of the Agricultural Committee of the Com mercial Club of Nashville, who has given the matter much thought. He referred to the great work being done by the Uni versity of Tennessee and the pamphlet recently issued by the university deal ing with this subject. The Industrial and Immigration Department of the N., C. & St. L. Railway has also just issued a very interesting and instructive booklet dealing with lime and soil fer tilization which has been given wide cir culation. Mr. Ewing in the course of his inter view says: "If the farmers and dairy- men.of Middle and West Tennessee want their lands to yield more abundantly they will have to use ground limestone in order to correct the acidity of the soil and to supply the element calcium as plant food. This fact is made so plain by soil experts who are familiar with the question that it can no longer be doubted. The farmers of this territory tax themselves to help maintain the Uni versity of Tennessee. They do this that able men may be employed at the uni versity to give valuable instruction in matters of great moment, not only to the young men of the State, but (in the form of pamphlets easily obtained) to the people themselves of this territory, . . . . But is it true that farmers themselves send for and carefully read the pamphlets issued by the university? If they do not, then so far as they them selves are concerned the tax they pay for maintaining the university means nothing to them. For instance, how many farmers in this territory have read pamphlet No. 97 issued by the university on Liming for Tennessee Soils?' That pamphlet shows in the clearest possible way tharthe soils of this territory stand in urgent need of lime in order to rid them of certain kinds of objectionable acids and give them the necessary plant food; that the best form in which to furnish the soil with this lime is to spread on the land finely ground lime stone of good quality; that if this is done an increase in the crop beyond the cost of the lime will surely take place. The statements made are not only backed by chemical reasons but by actual re sults covering years of experiments. "There are and can be no questions affecting the material prosperity of Mid dle and West Tennessee which equals in importance those of imparting fer tility to the soils apparently poor, or the restoring of fertility to soils ex hausted by constant cultivation. In this section we are especially favored with the means of doing this. We have the highest grade of limestone in abundance. If the soils need phosphoric acid we also have this in abundance and almost at our doors. We have grinding plants able and ready to furnish either article at very small profit. The railroads are so anxious to have farmers increase their crops by using these materials and thus produce, more freight for them to haul that they are granting as low rates as they can consistently give on their trans portation. Everything now produced by the farmer is commanding a good price, and is sure to continue to do so. Population is increasing and productive land is going up in price. If thousands of acres in Tennessee now regarded as of little value can, by the use of ground limestone and ground phosphate rock, coupled with manure or decaying vege tation, with the proper rotation of crops, be made productive and consequently valuable, is it not wise and to the inter est of the State and all its citizens that this be done? Is not the purchase, clear ing and cultivation of such land a very live question in this State, worthy of the most serious consideration? Is it not almost a sort of crime not to give back to soils which have so long sup ported us the food for which they are now clamoring, the life-blood which we have taken from them, and especially when this is so easily obtained? $ "To hesitate to apply these two stores of fertility because of their first cost is the gravest of mistakes.
