Tests OF Soil Show
Growing Lime Need

Need for lime on unlimed
western Ohio soils becomes
greater each year!
This fact is found in study
of 56,848 samples of soil sent to
the college of agriculture at
Ohio State University during the
past seven years.
E. P. Reed, extension agron-
omist for western Ohio, reports
that 73 percent of the samples
tested this past year from 81
western Ohio counties needed
lime in amounts varying from
one and one-half to three tons
per acre. Of the samples tested
in l943, only 56 percent needed
lime.
Evidence is also found that
farmers in this area are apply
ing more lime. Average amount
of lime applied in the 81 count
les in 1944-45 was 336,426 tons
per year, while the figure for
1948-49 was 605,063 tons annual
ly.
These figures indiate to Reed
that the soils of western Ohio
are reahing the end of the orig
mai lime supply. He says Is to
so years ago practically all of
the cultivated land would grow
red clover satisfactorily without
lining. Most of the soils, if
drained, also would produce al
falfa.
Most of the lime from these
soils has been lost thru teaching,
ana farmers who realize this are
checking the soil acidity before
trying to produce alfalfa and

hormone Pellets
Speed Faitening
OF Old Roosters

Even tough old rooster can
be made tender and tasty with
hormone pellets.
This is only one of the ways
which DR.. r. George Jaap, of
the department of poultry hus-
bandry at Ohio State University,
says hormone pellets can be
used by the poultry producer.
He states both young chickens
and old cocks can be fattened
most rapidly by using the pei
lets. When used on young grow
ing pullets, DR.. Jaap recommends
treatment before the birds reach
l5 weeks of age.
Biggest advantage of hormone
pellets is on cockerels to be
killed later than the so-called
broiler age of IL to IA weeks.
Treated cockerels will gain more
body weight than those untreat-
ed and the fatness for roasting
will be excellent and superior
to those not treated.
Although the hormone treat
ment sometimes fails to work on
old roosters, when it does, a
rooster will gain as much as l
to 2 pounds in A weeks. In ad-
dition, he will be well fattened
and may be easily cooked tender
by roasting.
"Hormone fattened old cocks
make almost as good roasting
chickens as do young fat hens"
is DR.. Jaaps comment.
Hormone treatment is easy, he
says, as it only involves placing
the pellet with large hypoder-
mic needle in a fold of the neck
skin near the head. Several COM
panieS are now manufacturing
such pellets and complete in
structions for treating are in
cluded with the pellets.
Hormone treating is not being
considered a substitute for cap
onizing, DR.. Jaap cautions, as
even capons will fatten at a
younger age when hormone-
treated.

clovers, as well as high quality
pasture, Reed explains.
He credits continued interest
in doing better job of farming,
as well as county agents, veter-
ans classes in agriculture and
vocational agriculture classes, as
being responsible for increasing
the volume of soil tests.
Higher prices for farm pro-
ducts during the war and after,
and the agricultural conserva-
ton program of the Production
and Marketing Administration
served to encourage the in
creased application of lime.
