At a meeting of representatives OF
various experiment stations from the
southeastern states, at Knoxville, Ten
nessee, April 1890, the question Of the
use Of lime on soils Of Tennessee was
considered
The agreement was unanimous that
the soils Of the southeastern states
are seriously deficient In lime, so that
lining is essential 10 their most pro-
fitable development and permanent i'm
provement.
Suitable agricultural lime materials
are high calcium, magnetism and dolo-
mite limestone; also high grade Oys-
Ter shells and mari, together with the
burnt products Tor the chemical
equivalent Of such) Of any Of these In
the amounts recommended.
The finer the limestone Is ground, the
greater In Its immediate availability.
Limestone ground to pass thru q ten
mesh screen, all finer particles includ-
ed, ls recommended for the common
application of two tons per acre.
Either very finely pulverlzed limestone
or burnt lime is recommended, where
an application Of only a few hundred
pounds per acre is TO be made.
For general use an application Of !
to 2 tons of ground limestone per acre,
or One-half that amount of burnt lime,
once In rotation Of not more than five
years was recommended. For alfalfa
and permanent pasture, an initial ap-
pllcatlon OF double these amounts
should be made.
Lime may safely be used at any
point In the ordinary farm rotation
without serious loss OF the material.
If applied In connection with titled
crops, Its. mixture with the soil will be
insured. The effects OF lime are likely
Ia be in proportion to the thoroughness
with which 1t IL mixed with the soil
In which the crop roots develop.
Lining Is most profitable In those
rotations In which legumes are promi-
nsnt; but, over large areas In these
states. especially on the heavier types
OF soil, lining is profitable for corn,
small grains, and grasses.
With soils poor In potash and phos-
phate, lining gives best results only
whei, supplemented by materials ar
ryine. these constituents.
