LINING THE SOIL.
Old Problem Whose Value Is Not
Properly Realized.

Old Problem Whose Value Is Not
Properly Realized.
The problem OF lining the soil is an
old one. but very few farmers realize
the value that Ii has to the field prod
ucts. In the first place. lime is not u
fertilizer, as | have heard some farm
ers say. II may be called supple
mentary fertilizer, but that is as close
as we can get. We know that IL is
needed to improve the soil conditions.
and that is the main idea that should
be known by every tiller of the SOIL
Lime materials not only furnish cal
cium, which is essential for the growth
OF crops, but they have the power of
improving the mechanical condition OF
both the sands and ciays. This they
do by binding the materials more firm
ly together In talking TO a farmer the
other day about the lime problem he
compared the action OF lime on the soil
to the process of making popcorn balls.
The grains of popcorn are held to
gether by the molasses, and in the
same way the lime holds the soil par
ticles in close contact with one an
other.
In the case OF sands, lime thus rem
ders them more compact and improves
their water holding power With clays.
the tenacity of which is largely due TO
the fineness OF the particles. the lime
causes the fine particles to adhere TO
one another. and these aggregations
make the soil act like one composed OF
larger particles. From this we see
that it improves the mechanical condi-
tion, renders the soil more easily cult
waited. and it is better aerated. Frost
and humus also improve the physical
state of sticky. impervious soils. but
lime is possibly the most potent agen-
cy. and IL is certainly the agency most
readily controlled by the farmer
We find that lime also corrects or
neutralizes the acid which naturally
forms in the sois-Ohio Farmer.

Success of an Agricultural Movement

The past three years has seen the be

the county supervisors appropriate
money for the use OF the county farm
