Durmg tne period lBOl to 1905. only 2Λ per cent of all stt't'l made went into the man ufacture of consumer durables -such as automobile· and household appliances. In the period from 1956. to I960, 22.3 per cent was used for that purpose. Wacos and "IOrjc benefits" for American steelworkers climbed from an average of »2.72 an hour in 1935 to an average of $4.13 in 1962, a 52 per cent rise. Over 95 per cent of our civi 'ivation's metal requirements re met by steel. "These International Treat ies are like our poor relations, one never hears of them unMl they're broke." — John L.

Raper, County Extension Chairman for Co lumbus County, has indicated that a number of questions are being asked about lime, espec aliy from farmers who re cently had soil samples test ed. The two most common questions are: why so many fields show a need for lime and why soils limed last year are still acid? Mr. Raper explains that soils are acid for a number of rea sons: First, they are naturally acid before cultivation. If not limed, they tend to remain acid. After lime is applied and mixed with the plowlayer soil, acidity is neutralized, but cropping, additions of some types of fertilizer, and insecti cides (example, copper sulfur dust on peanuts), leaching and especially deeper plowing cause the soil to gradually be come acid again until a point is reached where retiming is necessary in order to maintain the soil pH within the desired range. Increasing the depth of plowing by only two or three inches usually mixes extreme ly acid subsoil material with the normal plowlayer. Deeper plowing is often a good prac tice but liming rates must be adjusted to take care of the increased acidity added to the plowlayer. Deep plowing can result in a need for liming soils which otherwise show a satisfactory pH in the top 6 inches. Mr. Η apt-r also explains why it is often difficult to measure a pH change in the soil after liming. Probably the most fre quent difficulty is the lack of complete mixing of the lime which the plowlayer or layer sampled. Spreading lime be fore plowing can result in most of it being turned under to the bottom of the plowlay er. Lime should be mixed with as much of the plowlayer as is possible. It will help to ap ply lime, disk, then plow. , Liming soils, especially thos? showing extreme acidity in tht plowlayer, is an importan atep toward higher per acri yields and efficient produr tion. For best results, lim should be added two to fou months ahead of planting. I the lime cannot be applied un til just before planting, it ! still better than not liming a all.
