are not well suited to the devel-
opment Of beneficial bacteria,
which are found in the tubercles
Of these crops. It is mainly for
the purpose Of favoring the
growth Of these bacteria that
lime Us applied TO- soils. Ground
limestone is the \ form Of lime
which is usually the cheapest as
a soil sweetener.
There are other effects of
lime but most of them are Of less
Importance. Lime tends to make
plant food available from the
soil, although this is largely
through its beneficial effect on
the bacteria. In large quanll-i
ties it tends to make clay soils
more friable but this effect Of
lime is usually observed only
where the freshly water Stacked
or air Stacked lime is applied in
large quantities. Ground lime
stone has much less effect in
this respect.
"A fertilizer usually gives q
quick response in the crop to
which it is applied, provided
the soil is in need of the plant
food added. Lime on the other
hand usually has less immedi-
ate effect, the benefit being dis-]
tributed through a number Of
seasons On very sour soils,
however, where enough lime is
sdded to entirely sweeten the
Of six or seven inches,
the effect upon crops, particular
" clover and alfalfa is often
immediate and striking.
The need Of lime in Missouri is |
Increasing annually. Many soils
cannot be expected to give sat
isfactory returns until they are
sweetened by it. Farmers
lhould see If their soil Is sour.
