Investigation and experience have
shown that the acid condition is very
unfavorable TO crop production. This
is particularly true OF clover and al
falfa. which fail TO develop root nod
ules in acid soils. and in consequence
soon sicken and die. In the case OF
rich soils these crops may survive In
spite OF acidity. but In such cases they
draw their nitrogen from the soil just
as other crops do instead OF taking a
large part OF II from the air. as they
are capable OF doing under more IA
vorable conditions.
Maintenance OF a supply OF nitrogen
in the soil for the grain crops Is de-
pendent upon fixation of atmospheric
nitrogen by legumes. SO the failure OF
legumes to fix nitrogen is a serious
matter. II means soil exhaustion.
To correct this very unfavorable
condition the reaction of the soil must
be changed from acid TO alkaline. and
lime IS the basic or alkaline material
to use for that purpose. No other
treatment whatever is practicable. The
laws OF chemistry are Just as immuta
Bile as the law of gravity. Acid soils
contain an excess OF acid compounds
and can be rendered alkaline only BY
adding basic or alkaline materia
enough to combine with all the acis
compounds and have some left over
II makes little difference whether TIT
amount left over be large or small
within reasonable limits-hence
makes little difference whether the al
plication OF lime be two tons TO tn

Consistent success with clover o

Free Trade Hands over To Forelan

Moreover. free trade causes injury
TO the buyers of our farm products,
