LIME FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSE
Much interest is being manifested In
the use of lime and limestone on sour
soils. The larger portion of our cultivat-
ed soils are either acid or contain on
iy small amount of carbonate OF lime
(limestone). For best results on such
soils It is necessary to use lime In some
form. The nitrogen gathering plant
Glover. alfalfa. etc. do not grow well
on acid soils. hence 1t Is difficult to
keep up the nitrogen supply of the soils
under such conditions. The organisms
which render the nitrogem of the soil
available do not work well in the alb
sence Of the carbonate Of lime. hence
the non-nitrogen gathering plants do not
make their best growth. There Is an
almost universal opinion that soils de-
rived from limestone rocks contain suffi-
cient carbonate of lime. This Is not
true. Such soils are very apt to be de-
ficient In limestone because the rains

dissolve II out. The purer the limestone
and sinkholes of limestone regions are
due to water dissolving away the rock.
Raw ground limestone is the best ma.
terial to use. Burnt lime corrects sour
ness, but 1t Is also a powerful soil stint,
liant and causes a, rapid loss Of the or
ganic matter and nitrogen of the soil.
The best test to determine whether
limestone is needed Is to prepare two
plots of equal size and seed to clover
or alfalfa. using ground limestone on
one at the rate of 4 or 5 tons per acre.
and weighing the yields of hay. The use

farm increased the yield of alfalfa hay
from 2O6O lbs. per acre to S6iO lbs. per
acre the first cutting.
Ground limestone should be applied at
the rate of four tons per acre in the
beginning and one ton per acre every
four or five years thereafter. 1t is best
to apply it after the ground is broken
and thoroughly disk or harrow 1t in.
II burnt lime is used, about half this
amount of the freshly burnt material
should be applied. but 1t should be thor

no circumstances would we recommend
burnt lime If the ground limestone can
be obtained. Where there Is a good de-
mand for ground limestone it is usually

or less per ton, in car load lots In bulk.
