poses-A Farmers Clubs Views on tne
Subject.-At the last meeting OF lne 1eer
Creek Farmers Club the supleG. uiSo 49,, arJ
reported by the 1Egis. was HOW oi.eii anu
how heavily should we lime and wnaI ieI u,
izer should be used in connection thereWlen
The subject was proposed by Mr, SaSV e sol,
"a. ho ,vos az this time very much interested.
He is using lime on several of MS larlhs duu Is
applying about 25 bushels to the acTg, e re
IeQe on this subject and received reply giving
formula for wheat that would cost ABOUT Sls
per ton lime being the chief ingredient;
Mr.. j. L. Mccormick said that his experience
with lime was very satisfactory he Would use
it if possible every third year: Inc Dese re-
suits Generally followed its application on corn:
Good sets of clover, which heretofore seemed
impossible, generally followed he would re,
commend small but fre9uent mannre d ne
always avoided following lime with Done. :.
Mr.. r. Harris Archer never 9a a any t expert

where hauling was such an item: sha,, H.
He had purchased a car load Q,OO0 bushels) in
Baltimore and got together a lot oi oiu useless
lumber and burned them. He applied them on
some ground which had been plowed Tor corn.
The corn seemed worse where the shells had
been spread and he could see no dlHerence IN
the grass until this summer ~ is no i ns
spread. This part has splendid set Wnlle the
rest is almost devoid of any. fime, as IS well
known, is not plant food but makes the humus
i'm the soil more available for plant food. He
would follow with stable manure or guano. s
Mr. H. b. Bruins has used lime for three years.
He applied some on poor field, about ~ or rs
bushels and followed with some cheap fertiI-
izers. He mad two good crops of corn, fair
yield Of wheat and now there Is an excellent set
of clover Where no lime was used the grass Is
not SO good even on a portion of the field which
was potato patch and about 1000 lbs of fertil-
izer had been used. Across one large held he
! had sowed strip about fifty feet wide and its
| effect can be plainly seen by the lnxurlant
| growth of white clover. 1t should be applied
Mr.. John Moores recalled the time when lime
was in general use. This was prior to lS40 and
no other fertilizer was then in existence. It
| was applied in the general rotation OF crops or
| once in every seven years. Things were or.
| ferent then. Clover was plowed down for wheat
| was plowed down for corn and then lined Then
came oats and the ground was set in clover, very
little other grass seed being sow w n
| applied. Later came Peruvian guano. Inc edo
feet of this was marvellous. 1t cost about S60
| or $40 per ton. Bone was not then utilized put
its use came on later. He favors the return to
lime He used some two or three years ago and
can now see the effects of it as far as it went.
| 1t would pay to use it if q farmer was soremote
as not to be able to haul more than one load a
day. The richer the land the more lime can be
applied.
! he had seen on DR.. Sappington's land. Lime
and bone were used and he has splendid set OF
a flowery condition. 1t is excellent for clover,
The best way to apply it is to spread in small
piles and sow after the first succeeding rain has
Stacked it. He used lime spreader.
Mr.. VIM 7. Sawyer's experience was limited
| and was not of an encouraging nature. He mad
used some little few years ago and did not see
that it had done much good. HAD also trled
some ground limestone with no better results.
Had tried some on both corn and tomatoes and
saw no difference; wheat he thought was worse
The clover. however, is now good deal better;
He used about IS bushels to the acre and spread
it after it had been Stacked by showers.
Mr.. Edward II. Hall had not used great deal
| of lime His first experience was with a kiln OF
lime that had stood for several years and was
hardened by the weather. 1t was spread on
some very poor land, and wherever it reached
the result is still apparent. About three years
ago he tried some again on pine land winch mao
recently been cleaned up wnere oone
lime was used the set was good
Mr. John B. Wysong had never used any lime
but spoke of the excellent field of corn which
one OF his neighbors had raised from applying
lime when the stalks were about knee high. He
thought that bone would act we'll in conJunc
ton.
Mr. George d. Carnes spoke of years gone by
when lime was used freely and there was always
a good crop of clover. Plaster was always USED
in connection with 1t.
MIR. Thomas H. Robinson had found that the
money he spent for lime paid him better thar
seq any Rose who have used It have
good sets of grass.
Mr. James Lee never used lime but once, ant
then could see no great results. He spread II
Immediately after shaking. His neighbors, how
ever, seem to have been benefited by it. Mr.
John Lochary had been the only one IN his par
grass and he was great user of lime. Tht
older farmers, too, seemed to think that it wal
Mr.. George L. Van Bibber recalled the change
in the sentiment that the members of the clul
seem to have experienced in the past five years
He remembered meeting at that time and thu
same subject was discussed. Itthen seemed thu
consensus of opinion that it did not pay for thu
hauling. He attributed this change to the ex
periments which the farmers have been maxim!
since that time.
Mr. W. Boyd Bell had used some about four O
five years ago. He had not seen any results
from its application: 1t was sowed on stubble
corn and pasture fields:
meeting of four or five years ago he had triet
it on corn ground and had good crop. Th'
lime did not quite cover the field and on thu
times IS heavy; Hs has Hafe it IL
fashionable not to endorse lime, even if he dit
not approve of it, but he did and was usinj
quantities on all the farms which he managed
Lime will last in the soil about twelve years
raw bone ten years and barnyard manure abou
the same length of time. Active phosphate
will disappear after two years.
