The ideal way to apply lime is
to broadcast one half ol the lime
ami cut it into the soil with a
disk before plowing. After plow
ing the other half can he applied
land disked into the soil. This
does a good job of blending the
i lime with the soil. Each fainter

additional benefits derived from

) that lime will he most effective

well mixed with the soil.
Lime lor established pastures,
I lawns, and permanent s*ds <-an

root system of these crops is
vhry near the surface and can he
helped by surface applications of
lime. Soil -amplev for lime deter
ruinations of established sods

J gieater than 2 or 3 inches. This

limed as indicated above for
general crops.
IJmo should he applied only
on thi* basis of a soil test. Too
much lime can be just as deteri

way to know how much lime to
apply is to determine the require

A four step program to sound
liming is:
1. Test soils early as soon af
ter harvest as possible.
2 Use a liming material which
contains at least 15 per cent
magnesium carlronate equivalent
which will supply magnesium as
well as calcium.
3. Apply the lime uniformly at
the suggested rate two months
prior to planting.
4. Mix well with thi- soil.
