Jenny Lind's Contract.
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. This association
has a capital stock of one million dol
lars and is composed of leading bank
ers of the South.
The Rural Credit Association lends
money on farm lands to the extent of
one-half the valuation" amount. The
rate 01 interest charged is 5 per cent,
and loans are made for as long a period
as 49 years with the privilege to the
farmer to pay off the loan in a shorter
period if he desires.
Every county in Tennessee will have
representative of the association for
the purpose of organizing the farmers
of his county.
Louis Spencer Daniel, of the Paris
Business Men's Club, has been appoint
ed general manager of the State of Ten
nessee and has the power to name and
appoint all county chairmen or repre
sentatives. Mr. Daniel hopes to be able
to name the representative of all coun
ties in Tennessee within the next thirty Hinemon-Massey
days. Those interested in this helpful Weddine.

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. "
