ne season Tor lining land ID here.
The effect Of lining In the growth
- alfAlfA has been especially marked.
NE tact II getting n profitable crop
without lining Is SO unusual that II
o8tacts attention. The exceptional
sasss Are found turnout the state,
but are generally limited to small
arn. and may not prove trustworthy
Indication for the surrounding district.
In i've series Of experiments on rep
Pesentativs soils in different sections
Of the state, the average yield with
lime was 218 tons per acre, and with
out lime 1.16 tons. These results
were obtained the FIRST season after
seeding. Usually uhlimsd alfalfa Is
smothered out the second year by
crab grass while lined alfalfa Is then
et its best.
Farmers will find II very profitable
to lime for red and alsike clover. both
of which are very sensitive to q den.
cheney Of lime. White clover, II Is
generally understood, can be classed
with red and alsike clover In needs for
lime. Crimson clover receives some
benefits from lime. but responds less
than any other kind.
Lime For Wheat
Splendid results can be secured by
lining for wheat. The actual increase
In bushels In experiments made with
lime for wheat was not so great as
that made by corn, but the percentage
was the same.
The wheat increased Its yield abOut
20 per cent where lime was applied.
From this, II Is shown that farmers
who contemplate growing wheat this
year can very probably lime their
soils.
The effect Of moderate lining lasts
for u number of years. Its advan.
tages have been noticed In some IN
stances for period Of eight years fol
lowing application.
How TO Apply.
