Lime takes time to react with the soil; therefore, it should be applied as far in advance of planting as possible to give maximum re sponse for next year’s crops. Al so weather conditions are usual ly better for spreading lime in the fall or early winter than they are in the spring. Since lime does not move readily In the soil it should be well mixed with plow layer for best and quickest re sults. Applying It before break-- ing the land is a good practice to follow. Now is a good time to apply lime to your fields for next year’s crops, if you haven't al ready done so reminds B. H. Harrell, county extension chair man. But first have your soils tested to determine how much. If any, lime is needed warns Mr. Harrell because too much lime can be just as bad as too little. A soil test Is the only way to ac curately determine lime needs, so why guess and take a chance of applying too much or too little. A good liming program is es sential for top yields and profit so be certain to apply the right ing. The waterway will be seed ed to tall fescue. In Ms conservation plan he has set up a schedule for building terraces and doing other needed conservation work over a period of several years. In addition to the techMcal help he received through the Dis trict from the Soil Conservation Service he also received financial help In the form of cost-sharing through the Agriculture Conser vation Program, amount of lime to each field before planting your next crop. Have your soil tested now so lime can be spiled early. Soil sampling supplies can be picked up at your county agricultural workers offices. Potecasi By GEORGIA POWELL Mrs. A. L.
