Lime AS a Fertilizer

the water holding capacity OF practl-
eally all kinds of soil, disintegrates
clay and tends to make it tillable,
and prevents to some extent the wash
ing of silt or sandy soils.
Decayed vegetation leaves an injuri-
GUS organic acid, and in soil lacking
sufficient lime these acids form what
is commonly called ''sour soil'' which
is we'll nigh fatal to all desirable vege-
table growth
"The addition of lime to soils con-
tanning potash in unavailable forms, -
write Mr.. Thatcher, "results in lib
Grafton of potash in forms in which
plants can use it. -
There is danger, however, in the use
of any fertilizer wherever there is ig-
norance of just what the soil lacks.
For instance, soil may be unsatisfac-
tory that is amply supplied with lime
and potash, and the addition of any
more of either might be seriously in
furious instead of beneficial. This is
u6, Will CNOIJ OlCLuOhl VI AOi SAAiHu
ton, and it is most important to know
just what your soil needs and how
much fertilizer you should put on.
AS a physical agency lime is wonder
fully beneficial, being nearly of as
great Importance In that respect as in
it's chemical and fertllizing effects.
Heavy clay soils in particular, ac-
cording to Thatcher, are greatly lm-
proved in texture, friability, perme-
ability to moisture and water hold
ing capacity, by lining. The lime
cements together the fine clay parti-
cles, forming compound PARTICLES,
which are more like sand grains and
give to the clay soil more of the char
acter of fine silt or lone.
Very sandy soils are also improved
by application of lime, increasing their
water retaining capacity by its cement
ing action.

winter and part ration through the
drouth aud heat of summer. How
many acres of corn will it take to ill
silo of above dimensions and at what
stage of development should it be
cut? What crop is test for the pur-
pose in our semi arid region, without
irrigation. Corn, wheat, oats, etc. do
quite we'll with us. Kindly reply
though "The Ranch.'' W. j. L.
Chelan county.
Ans. 1t is not considered a good
plan to build a silo in the barn beause
of the odors given off from the silage,
it is also usually very difficult to fill
silo that is built inside the barn. l
would advise building the silo just
outside the barn and have chute
to carry the silage to the feeding
floor. A roof over the silo is not alb
solutely essential but perhaps it would
be advisable to have some sort of a
cover in your section of the country.
| do not believe that it pays to build
a silo for less than eight or ten cows
as the money invested is too great in
proportion to the return. For feeding
three to five COWS l would prefer to
grow a root crop to supply the succu-
lent part of their ration. A silO the
size you mention would be large
enough to feed eight or ten COWS dur
ing the winter months. 1t will take
from four to six acres of corn to fill a
siJo ten feet in diameter by twenty two
feet in height. Corn for silage should
be allowed to become nearly mature
before being cut as its feeding value
is much higher than in the immature
stage. Corn is undoubtedly the best
silage crop which you can grow in
your section, as the hollow stem
grains, wheat and oats, do not make
good silage,

Washington bulletin No. 88, "may act

That is about as clear. comprehens-
i've and complete statement OF the
matter as can be made.
OF course it is we'll known that most
of the soils of Western Washington
are deficient in lime, as we'll as pot
ash, both of which are highly vital
elements of plant growth.
Without sufficient lime resource to
draw upon, the plant is weak and fra
gile. Lime is essential in the produc
ton of the substantial cell walls or
woody fibre material.
There is no normal or perfect growth
without lime as soil element.
This fact is most pronounced in
such crops clover, peas, beans, etc.,
which require practically as much
lime as potash as a fertilizer.
To know the soil is quite as import
ant to the most successful farmer as
to know the seed you plant. 1t is
therefore highly desirable to have a
fair average sample of the soil, say
half a pound of it sent to the U. 5.

G. Thorn, soil physicist, and Prof. K.

ist, will give you specific information,
showing the amounts and kinds of fer

radical deficiencies of your soil.
Lime increases capillarity, increases
