Only Economic NeutraIizer or correc-

lime-Meanlng of Word.

The only economic neutralizer, or
corrective, for soil acidity which is
within the reach Of the farmer is
lime. Ordinarily one thinks of lime
as that material used in the making
of plaster and mortar. Throughout
the agricultural world today, however,
the word Time" has taken on a very
general meaning. 1t not only includes
burnt lime, or quicklime, but also air
and water-slacked lime, ground lime
stone, mari, pulverized shells, and
marble dust. These different mate
rails, with the exception of burnt lime
and water-slacked lime, are common
ly spoken of as Carbonate of lime"
or lime carbonate" because they con-
sist of ordinary quicklime combined
with carbon dioxide gas of the air.

sow ALFALFA IN EARLY FALL
All Danger OF Interference From
Weeds Is Avolded-Plsnt Is Not
Very Vigorous at Start.

great many people who SOW al.
falfa in the spring complain that the
weeds take it." They do in a great
many instances. Weeds and alfalfa
will not be able to occupy the same
ground. One or the other must gain
the upper hand in short order, and
the weeds are the more enduring and
the harder to conquer AS a conse-
quence the alfalfa is smothered out
by them, and along in the middle Of
the summer you hear another man
proclaiming that alfalfa is no good.
Weeds have caused more alfalfa
failures than sour lands, wet soils or
poor seedbed preparation. The danger
is particularly great where the seed
ing is done in the spring. Every
weed seed in the soil is fighting for
air enough and warmth enough to
sprout, and after it sprouts it will
fight for room enough to make its
growth. Alfalfa is not a particularly
vigorous plant in its first few days of
life, and it is the first few days that
count in the growth of alfalfa versus
weeds.
On account of the danger from in
reference by the weed crop, it is
usually better to SOW alfalfa in the
fall or in late summer 1t will be
time and money saved to put in the
seed in the summer following of the
land, stirring the soil enough to keep
down each successive weed crop. The
soil stirring will not only get rid of
the weeds that have come up, but
it will stimulate the remaining seeds
that are lying in the soil to germina-
tion and growth. In this way several
successive seedlings of weeds can be
disposed of and the ground left fairly
clear for the summer or fall seeding
Of alfalfa.
Winter or early spring blowing will
go a long way toward preparing a
good seeded for the fall sowing of
alfalfa. If the ground needs it, turn
under considerable quantities of ma
nure when it is broken. If lime is
needed, this should be spread before
the blowing and turned under so it
will have a chance to thoroughly mix
with and sweeten the earth.
