GROUND LIMESTONE
FOR MISSOURI SOILS
Lack Of Lime Cause of Many
Glover Failures, Says Uni -
versity Soil Expert.

"Ground limestone will he used
as commonly as barnyard manur,
by many Missouri farmers nf tn,
coming generation. says NJ. F,
Miller Of the Agricultural Exnrri=
ment Station of the University ot
Missouri at Columbia. The results
Of the experiments on the Univer-
Sity soil experiment fields. accord
ing to Mr.. Miller. give reason for
this statmcnt. On some of the
fields absolute clover failures
have been changed to clover sue
cesses by the application ri tw"
tons of ground limestone. This
does not mean that lack of lime
is the cause of all clover failures.
\ soil depleted in its supply of
humus, with consequent dcfi-
cheney Of available plant food. the
removal Of the best of the surface
soil by washing on some of the
rolling lands and the lack of an
adequate drainage on some lands
are just rs certain to cause clover
failure. Very often two or three
of these conditions exist. Where
soil has been reasonably cared
for. when it is we'll drained and
still grows clover poorly. lack of
lime may be the single cause.
Very often lack of humus and a
lack of lime are jointly responS-
ible for clover failures. Both must
be added if clover is to be entire
ly satisfactory. Where lime is
badly needed, however. it must he
before clover stands are
sure.
The farmers of Missouri should
inform themselves regarding the
matter of using lime and the need
of their soils for it. We must
grow clover. Our soils must be in
the right condition to do it. Lime
is not a cure for every soil troub-
le, however, on many soils the use
Of lime is necessary.
