or five years. and in only sufficient

promote bacterial activity and to as

| lime may pay handsome profits to
the user There is this to be remem-
bered in all eases. however: 1t does
not pay TO use lime often or in large
quantities. unless the humus sup
ply OF the soil is kept up. This
means that the lime should be used
in sort OF rotation with green or
stable manures.
The use OF lime to correct soil acid
ity is needed on large areas of South
ern lands. The growth OF such weeds
rs sorrcl. the crowding out of the
tame grasses by broomsedge, the fail
ure of alfalfa or the clovers to grow,
arc often indications OF acidity. The
surest test is TO take piece OF blue

thoroughly and leave the litmus pa

20 say that the soil needs lime.
Lime is generally applied broad
cast TO the soil. and worked lightly

manure spreader. or with machines
made especially for this purpose.
II Is generally applied after the
soil has been broken and before the
crop has been planted. though it may
be sown directly on grass lands and

turned down, II Is often advisable TO

Among the crops that will not
thrive on sour soil are alfalfa, the
! cloyers. bluegrass. and the peanut.
/ Indeed, few OF our staple crops do
their best on soil that Is TO any
marked degree acid, and lime has
been profitably used for corn, tobac-
co. cotton, the small grains and most
vegetables. This does not mean that
IL Will pay In every case to use lime
for these crops. The soil condition
Is always the first thing to consider
when the question OF whether or not
| to use lime comes up.
The Forms In Which Lime May Be
Had.
Lime may be had in various forms
as carbonate in ashes or In
ground limestone, as a hydrate in
water-slaked lime, and as a caustic
lime In burnt limstone, shells or
bone.
Sulphate OF lime is obtained when
gypsum or acid phosphate is used,
but this form has little effect on soil
