February Pool Price $2.38 
T he Dairymen’s League Cooperative 
Association announces $2.38 a hun¬ 
dred as its gross pool price for the 
month of February. From this 7 cents 
per 100 lbs. are deducted by the Asso¬ 
ciation for expenses of administration, 
and 10 cents a hundred are borrowed 
on Certificates of Indebtedness. This 
leaves a cash price to farmers for Janu¬ 
ary milk of $2.21. This is the base 
price for milk containing 3 per cent 
butterfat in the 201-210-mile freight 
zone from New York City. The net 
price of $2.31 for February is 34c 
above the net price for February last 
year. _ 
Prominent New York County 
Agents Resign 
Charles Wille, manager of the Sulli¬ 
van County Farm Bureau; Fred R, 
Walkley, county agent in Madison 
County, and H. F. Keyes, manager of 
the Schenectady County Farm Bureau, 
have resigned their positions to enter 
other fields of work. Mr. Walkley is 
going farming, Mr. Keyes is going into 
the real estate business, and Mr. Wille 
has accepted the management of the 
Karha Farms, near Parksville. 
Mr. Wille is one of the most popular 
Farm Bureau men in the State, receiv¬ 
ing widespread recognition for his 
work. In 1923 he was president of the 
New York State County Agents’ Asso¬ 
ciation, better known as the “Sod Bus¬ 
ters.” Mr, Wille planned and con¬ 
ducted the first blacksmith school ever 
held in New York State, and, perhaps, 
the entire country. The school was 
located in Liberty.' 
The Relation of Lime to 
Farm Prosperity 
{Continued from page 269) 
use ground rock. In general, limestone 
can be ground at less expense than it 
can be b^urned, but a long freight haul 
sometimes nullifies this grain. Try out 
an experiment of comparative cost and 
results on your own ground by using 
ground limestone on one plot, hydrate 
on a second and run-of-the-kiln burn 
lime on a third,” 
“What is the hydrate?” asked the 
farmer. • 
“It is a good grade of burnt lime 
which has passed through the process 
of water-slackening, coming theoreti¬ 
cally from the 56 pounds weight of the 
fresh-burnt form up to 74 pounds of 
calcium hydrate. It has largely lost 
its caustic properties, and may be 
stored for some time in paper sacks. 
I believe that in its commercial form it 
has been hydrated by forcing steam 
through it. It is largely used by ma¬ 
sons, but, most unfortunately, its cost 
places it beyond the possibilities of any 
great use in agriculture,” 
Fineness Is a Factor 
“What about this argument over 
fineness of grinding the raw rock?” in¬ 
quired the farmer. “A fellow was 
along the other day selling ground 
limestone that was about as fine and 
white as flour. Asked a tremendous 
price for it, though.” 
“Fineness of grinding is a desirable 
quality,” answered the professor, “but 
not so much of one as to admit of any 
great advance in the cost. I think we 
may say that limestone as now put out 
by the regular trade is ground suffi¬ 
ciently fine as to be available for Ull 
ordinary needs. As to the light color 
of the product shown you, it perhaps 
came from quarries of dolomitic lime¬ 
stone, so-called, which is not in prac¬ 
tical use at all superior to our common 
blue limerock.” 
“What’s the best way to apply lime?” 
“Any way to get it on evenly, the 
proposition being to bring as many 
particles of lime into contact with as 
many particles of soil as possible. No 
spreading by hand equals the use of 
a limesower. As to the time of appli¬ 
cation, put it on as long in advance 
of the crop which is to benefit by it as 
circumstances will allow.” 
“Well,” said the farmer, “that’s a 
pretty good lecture, and you talk like 
a man who believes in what he says. 
What do you ask for lime, John?” 
Whereupon I gave him prices on the 
different varieties, secured his order 
for a ton, or a carload, as his circum¬ 
stances might dictate, and journeyed 
on with the old professor.
