It - will increase the stand and yield cue hundred per cent. "Give me /lime stone and I can have a good crop of clover," says Mr. John D. Wtnstead of Roxboro route* 3. -as well as pthfcr farmers who have tried this impor tant project cm their clover fields We cannot become * batter farmers i next year unless we strain every ner\:e to do. the things that we believe should be done to build up the Fer tility. of. the land. Fifteen business men. bankers and farmers spent a few hours at the Tobacco Experiment Station last Fri day looking over the fertilizer, lime and variety tests. They were all im pressed with the different tests being made, but. especially the effect that limestone has on. tobacco, soybeans and even weeds. It lV particular good, in. keeping down Sandrown Nvhich causes a very inferior and low grade of tobacco . There is some sandrown in. the county, and in a field "only four miles from Roxboro. the effects of limestone on tobacco can be plain ly seen where sandrown occurs where ihere is no limestone, but none where lime has fceen applied In another field north of Roxboro. there Is. plenty of sandrown on one side , of t ho rq a^jvhe re _ nq> lin)PS^p^ has_been ] applied by the farmer. while on the opposite side of the road there fc no sandrown where limestone was ap plied a neighboring farmer. One man is Roing to get a good yield of a high grade tobacco. The other is likely to blame the predicament on clover turned tinder, but clover did not cause the sandrown. Only a de* ficiencv in Magnesia caused the trouble. Tobacco seems to draw heav ily on Magnesia and when the supply is axhausted from the soil, it must b? applied in the form of Dolomite, or magnesium limestone.
