THE FARM QUIZ

Question What is clover-sick
land?
Answer Clover-sick lapd is land
which has lost it's power to pro-
duce clover.

in Audubon County?
A. Yes, there lis a great deal
of it.
s @. Is the amount increasing or
decreasing?
A. 1t is increasing quite rap
idly.
Q. What is the cause of it?
A. Clover-sickness lis in nearly
all cases due to acidity.
@. What causes the acid to
form in the soil?
A. The methods of cultivation
and cropping which are practiced
throughout the corn belt result fl
nally in an excess of acid i'm the
soil. Our soil was originally a..
kaline everywhere except perhaps
in some of the sloughs. BUT it is
changing gardually, upder our met
ODDS of farming from alkaline to
acid.
@. Will not clover grow in acid
soil?
A. 1t will NOT. 1t would be
as easy to grow bananas. in oul
corn fields, as to grow clover in
land that is strongly acid. But
there are all degrees of clover
sickness. And for every field that
is really clover-sck, there are
perhaps twenty in Audubon Coun-
ty that are just turning sick. In
them the stand is "spotted'' and
the growth Mott vigorous.

A. 1t cam be cured very easily.
@. What is the treatment?
broadcast about ton of ground
or fine'y crushed limestone pen
acre. This destroys the acid,-ant
the clover will grow as we'll as
ever. The limestone is ineXpen
sive.
Q. Is all this mere theory, OF
has it been actually proved?
A. 1t has been actually proved
by so many hundreds of practica
farmers that there is MO longe,
any question about it. 1t is al
established fact.
