Professor E. w. Hilgard, in discussing
the 'sObjects and Interpretation of Soil
Analyses gives among other things the
following advantages resulting from an
adequte supply of lime in soils:
1. A more rapid transformation OF
vegetable matter into active humus,
which manifests itself by dark, or
deep black tint of the soil.
2 The retention of such humus,
against the oxidizing influences of hot
climates; witness the high humas-per-
centages of such soils, as against all
others, in the Southern States.
s. Whether through the medium OF
this humus, or in more direct manner,
it renders adequate for profitable cuI-
ture percentages of phosphoric acid and
potash so small that, in the case of de-
ficiency or absence of lime, the soil is
practically sterile.
4. 1t tends to secure the proper main
tenance of the conditions of nitrification,
whereby the inert nitrogen of the soil Is
rendered available.
8. 1t exerts q most important physical
action on the focculation, and there
fore on the tillability of the soil, as
shown by Schlesing and by myself.
Professor Hilgard adds that in the ma
jority of soils excepting those that are
extremely sandy, the lime percentage
is greater in the subsoil than in the
surface soil. This is, doubtless, he ex-
plains, the result of the easy solubility
of calcic carbonate in the soil water,
which carries it downward and thus
tends to deplete the surface soil. This
fact is strikingly shown in the results OF
Loughridge's Investigation on the CON-
position Of the several sediments The
efficacy of lime in preventing s'running-
to-weed" in fresh soils, and in favoring
the production of fruit, is conspiouously
shown in q number Of cases.
