USE COMBINATION

Giving the farmer good advice
about his soil and what il needs, is
not an easy matter. Soils differ
materially in the same neighbOr-
hood. What is perfect advice for
Jones is poor advice for Smith.
What will work wonders in Ohio
will get small results in Kentucky.
This has been written to tell the
reader. who takes many farm
magazines, TO be careful what he
accepts as facts for his own fields
For instance the following editorial
lately clipped from a strong farm
magazine tells what ground lime
stone has done for crops in Ohio:
The experiment station of Ohio
is putting out a report on the use
of limestone for the increasing of
corn production. An experiment
was made by using two tons of
limestone per acre, making one
such application every six or eight
years. This method showed an in
crease in the corn crop followed by
an oats crop showing a five-bushel
increase, four-bushel increase of
wheat and increase of a ton in
the hay crop. At the present prices
of these products, the increase
would be worth $50 TO 500. The
Ohio station advises lining the corn
ground so that the lime will be well
distributed by the cultivation. The
above report comes from expert
ments made on fairly good soil"
The results of ground limestone
at the Kentucky Experiment Sta
ton at Lexington and at the ex-
pertinent fields out in the State,
have not been so great. In fact,
the soil experts when asked for an
opinion concerning the use Of
ground limestone on land in Ken
lucky said:
we always urge the farmers TO
use ground limestone and phosphate
at the same time. Perhaps our
soils are not so acid as those refer
red TO in Ohio and in localities like
southern Illinois. However, all we
can say is our big results come from
the combination Of limestone and
phosphate and not from ground
limestone alone. This does not ap-
ply to bottom lands and the Blue
grass"

THE WORLD DOES MOVE

The following squib taken from
the June number of Farm & Fire

reading to the farmer who has been
a heavy purchaser of fertilizer:
ITS a mighty balky mule that

THE most progressive step TO be

adoption of a standard classical
