Norwich bulletin., 1916-11-04

(Written Specially for The Bulletin.)
 I'm constantly being appealed to in regard to the use of lime as fertilizer.
 Does it pay? Is it better to use burnt or unburned lime? Has fine ground raw limestone any value?
 These are some of the questions which I am getting along the road and occasionally by mail.
 Now, I'm not going to give any farmer any advice about fertilizing his particular farm. He has lived on that farm and cropped it for years. He knows.-or ought to know-its soil characteristics. He knows,-or ought to know-what crops it wants to pro- duce, what crops 1t can be hired to produce, what crops it can be coaxed to produce, and what crops it went pro- duce for anybody under any circum- stances. If, after having summered and wintered 1t, and plowed it and cropped 1t over and over again, he doesn't know at least something about these things, then he mustn't be so lacking in observation and method and memory and reasoning power, so short of "gumption," in other words that he couldn't be trusted to follow advice: not even if the advice were good.
 And. right there I want to register a protest against the arrogant as- sumption of some so-called experts that they can tell the farmer on half hour visit how toS manage his farm better than he can tell after twenty years living with it. They may, per- haps. be able to suggest to him certain general principles which he may not have understood and which, being understood, may lead him to change methods somewhat and thereby gain better results.
 But l don't want anybody telling me, either in print or by word of mouth what manures or what seeds to use on my fields. Pm glad of suggestions as to experiments worth trying: I'm glad to hear other farmers experiences with new fertilizers or new crops: I'm glad to be informed of any and all new discoveries in regard to the principles which govern plant growth:-but don't want any bob-tailed perambu- lating "expert" nor any merely book taught theorist to tell me after half an-hour's stroll across it. what fertili- ger to use or what crops to raise on my upper garden.
 And the sort of medicine I don't want for myself and won't take is the same sort that l won't try to give other farmers!
 ! don't know anything about whether lime will pay you or not: whether, if you do try 1t, you'll do better with burnt or unburnt: or whether raw ground limestone will be of any good to you. Perhaps, if I could meet xou personally on your farm and have You tell me something of your experiences with 1t, I might learn enough about it 10 make me venture a suggestion as to this, that or the other test which it might be worth your while to make But you ought to know more about the rock-bottom facts and the everything principles which apply to your own land even then, than I or any other casual visitor.
 f you don't, it's because you haven't used the faculties God gave you to work with, or because you aren't fit to be farmer, anyway, and ought to go Into some other less difficult voca- tion.
 The most that any outsider can proftably do in this line is to clear up some of those over-ruling principles

Bear in mine that sourness is not all ways confined to damp and sosgy soils. The continued use of stable manures on any soil tends to produce sourness in it. The large quantities of Vegeta ble matters in such manure turn acid in rotting. The very process of rotting developes aciGity. In land which has been heavily manured fer long course of years this acidity sometimes reaches degree which seriously interferes with the work of the rootlets in gath ering plant food. In such a case it is perfectly clear that the judicious use of lime will not only free the soil from acidity but will at the same time re-

In my immediate neighborhood, the tendency towards sourness is very gen. eral. More land is sour then sweet The use of lime tends to correct this And, as practically all crops except blueberries do better on sweet than on sour land, tHc chances are that a reasonable use of lime up to the point where existing sourness has been neu- tralized will be worth while

of which have spoken and make their working clear to such as may not have had the time or the opportunity to study them out.
 To begin with, there's nothing chance-y or miraculous about the ac- ton of any fertilizer. It acts according to fixed and immutable laws,-laws as certain and as invariable as the laws which govern the tides or the course of the sun. Given the same thing in the way of a manure and the same dirt and the same weather and the com- bination will always act in just the same way. We can find out if we will, what is in the fertilizer: we can find out, if we will, what is in the soil: the weather is the one element we can't foretell or govern or understand. So far as that affects us we've got to trust to luck" So far as the other elements of the problem are concerned we can take them by the tails and swing them just where we want to.
 What are the broad general princi. pIes which apply to lime? In the first place, we al; know that it is a powerful alkaH. That is, like soda and saleratus, it has the power of neutralizing acid. Vinegar is sour stuff. Put enough soda in halfglass of vinegar and it will efferveSce furiously for a bit and then settle down to liquid which will have no sourness left. The soda has neu- tralized and killed the acid of the vinegar. Lime acts the same way with soil acids only slower. IL neutralizes them and kills them It makes "sour soil sweet we say
 Is your soil sour? You don't need a laboratory examination to find out. There are scores Of indications plain as the nose on ones face to any ob- serving man. Sometimes it can be told by the smell: the feel of it rolled be- tween finger and thumb will some times give an idea on dry uplands the growth of sorrel or in lowlands the growth of certain weeds and "sour grass" are indications: the litmus paper test is a sure one. Buy a five cent package of litmus strips at the drug store: with a spade forced into the soil and lifted forwards open a wedge shaped slit into which lay against the smooth back surface a strip of the paper: remove the spade and press the earth back against the paper. After five minutes dig it care fully out. If it remains still blue your dirt is not sour; if it has turned to more or jess mottled red, the soil is sour.
