LIME THE FIELDS
SAYS AN EXPERT
Good Results Have Been Ob
tained by That Method in
Years Goneby
Free use of lime raised big crops in
the Susquehanna valley and it can do
it again, says Professor Franklin
Menges, soil expert of the State De
partment of Agriculture.
"The further investigations into use
of lime are pushed, the stronger they
become. A field which had not been
farmed for a number of years and
which had been pastured to death,
was plowed up in the Spring several
years ago and fairly well prepared
and sown with soy beans, with the
expectations of raising a small crop
of this legume to plow down to get
the land into some sort of shape to
produce farm crops. The soils were
tested for acidity before the land was
plowed for planting soy beans, and
the surface soil was found to b$ quite
sour while the subsoil was only
slightly so. Some time before plow
ing down the soy beans the surface
and subsoil were again tested and
while they were still sour, the acidity
in the surface soil was much less than
before plowing, while that of the sub
soil was about the same.
"The soils produced a splendid crop j
of soy beans, much larger than was j
expected, and when plowed down re- i
turned to the soil fully sixty pounds |
of nitrogen to every acre of the field, j
After the land was well cultivated and :
the agencies of decay and nitrification
became normallySnctive, it was con
verted into an available farm and
when the wheat was sown, it made a
splendid beginning in the Fall of the
year which was renewed in the Spring, j
producing the wheat crop of the com- 1
munity with a setting of clover and
timothy not equaled on this farm for I
years, and an exception for the neigh- j
borhood. This field was heavily limed, I
the evidences 6t which are still pres- |
ent from about fifteen or twenty years j
ago.
"The soils of another field on this j
same farm which had not been limed ;
and which had been pastured in the
same way when tested showed the soil
and the subsoil to be equally sour, j
and when plowed and prepared and
seeded with soy beans produced only 1
a very ordinary crop, approximately
only one-third of the yield of the for
mer field with a hesitating starting
and weakly growing and small yield
ing wheat crop and with a similar be- ;
ginning of clover and timothy. Soil 1
testing revealed these conditions and !
crop results could approximately be
foretold under normal conditions."
WHERE THE BASKET
CARRIERS REIGN

his sisters and daughters, to say noth- 1
lng of some thousands of others who |
hadn't any relatives in the grocery
store but who just went down to enjoy 1
themselves at the biggest picnic of the
kind ever held in the local historv of 1
such things.
Just an Estimate
From 10,000 to 12,000 were the early
day estimates of the crowd. Half a
dozen special trains of from twelve
to fifteen cars each carried many hun
dreds via the Philadelphia and' Rea
ding railroad; trolley cars carried a big,
lot of them; motor cars, motorcycles, j
delivery trucks, delivery wagons and
teams carried more hosts.
« The grocery boy's "girl" was there
a-plenty, too; end when you had an
eye-filling glance at her at the bathing
pool, on the dance floor, on the ath
letic field, 'round the band concert 1
forum, on the park benches, 'round
the soda fountains, in the "movies," on I
the park paths, you probably waited j
to have another eyeful—and sighed I
your regrets to the whispering trees :
of Hershey Park that you had a mere I
job as a bank clerk, or a bookkeeper,
or an engineer, or a lawyer, and not a :
regular position like the grocer's boy. I
Here, "Connie" Mack, Here!
As early as 8.15 o'clock the first
specials left the Philadelphia and
Reading station. There were a dozen :
cars apiece on each. To say that the j
70-capacity seating arrangements were 1
overtaxed is putting it mildly. Shortly
after noon three more trains went
down. The return of the specials is
tset for 7 and 10 o'clock to-night.
The program began as early as 9
o'clock with a ball game between the
Hill and West End grocers. By the
way. did you ever realize that many
a "Ty" or "Rube" or "Eddie" of the
future may be bringing the sugar and
coffee and baked beans to the house
every day?
Some Races, Too

Even Fish Are Lucky
'Round about 1 o'clock the luncheons !
were served and in the afternoon
everybody—with the possible excep
tion of grandma and the baby, who,
tucked into the program a wee nap
under the trees—went to the bathing i
pool or the vaudeville show.
Various very nice, nice, reasons why '
j it must be pleasant to be the grocer's
1 boy were to be seen at the vaudeville
show—they were plentifully on view
in gay silk sweaters and flushed faces,
j blue-eyed and bvown-eyed. But at the j
bathing pool! It was a toss up there ,
whether you'd prefer to be a grocer's
clerk or just—a fish.
The Regular Position
At 4 o'clock the concert by the Mu- :
j nicipal Band began and while mother!
and grand ma bent comfortable thoughts !
toward "seein' gettin' supper," the ;
crowds'flocked tr the bandstands. At
6.30 there was another concert by the I
Hepshey band.
And, during the later hours of this i
; evening, as the trainloads and motor
j loads and trolley car loads of weary
; but very, very happy picnickers made
] the roads from Hershey dusty but joy
' ous, the surreptitious whispers of the
grocery boy as he called at the house
j with the basket and the answering |
] giggles of the maid or daughter of the
house during the last few weeks may j
be readily understood.
Gee! it must be nice to be the "gro
cer's boy."
