SHEEP SORRELL
AN INDICATION
OF ACIDITY
County Agent Warns Farm
ers to Get Rid
of 1t

(By M. V. Barnes, County Agent
Sheep sorrel is usually found in ole
pastures and meadows and is particu-
larly abundant on dry, sandy, and
Eravelly soils that are in rundown
condition. Its presence is often an in
dication of an acid condition OF the
soil as it will grow much more Wig
orously on such land than will othe
plants. On rich, well drained soil
wen supplied with lime, it cannot
compete with other plants.
In pasture lands that cannot be
plowed the best procedure is to ap-
ply lime, ton Of ground limestone
per acre at least and top dress yearly
with manure or chemicals. The lime
will give better results if disked ii
and then a good pasture seed such a,
Kentucky Bluegrass, redtOp, or clover
should be sown on all thin spots.
Sorrel is easily killed bv short ro-
tation of crops, using those that car
be hoed and cultivated as much as
possible. Moving the pasture wher
the weed is in full bloom will helr
keep the sorrel down as well as many
other weeds.
Sheep sorrel although not otter
eaten by livestock is considered
poisonous to horses and sheep.
Now is a fine time to start youl
