LIME FOR ACID SOIL

the soil is sour or not is to place some
moist soil on contact with a strip OF
blue litmus paper. If the litmus pa
per turns pink, the soil is sour, and
ground limestone should be applied
at the rate of three tons per acre.
Physical Effects Of Lining Acid Soils.
When an acid soil is wet by rains
and is not porous enough for the
water to pass through rapidly, the
soil becomes water-logged and the
necessary air is excluded. The linn
ing of such a soil will render the sur
face more triable and the ground is
then less apt ito pack, puddle, bake
and crust.
When the soil is in such physical
condition that the water is allowed
to pass through readily, less water
runs off the surface and the washing
away of the soil particles is lessened.
Ground limestone is not a fertilizer
1t only sweetens a sour soil so that
legumes can thrive and draw nitrogen
out of the air into the soil, and it puts
heavy soil in better physical con-
dition.
1t should be applied after the ground
has been plowed or spaded and then
worked in with the top surface.

BY &. F. MURPHY.
Getty Garden Supervisory

Lime is deficient in a great many
soils, especially those derived from
granite, sandstones, states and shales
When soil is deficient in lime, we say
1.-The soil is sour or acid
A strong mineral acid, preferably
hydrochloric, is sometimes used to de-
termine the amount of lime in soils
by determining the amount of lime
dissolved When only l to 11a per
cent of lime is present, 1t is desirable
to apply lime to the soil. The acid
thus used may remove considerable
amount of lime and yet the application
of lime will show beneficial results.
Even soils of limestone origin may
show benefit from lining, due to the
fact that there is an insufficient
amount of carbonate of lime present.
This is brought about by plants re-
moving the carbonate of lime and some
of it being leached out of the soil.
In this case, the soil of course, shows
an acid reaction.
A very simple way of detecting this
acid reaction or determining whether

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid OF dan
druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in gen
thy with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appli
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work-Adv.
