Published in connection with the agricultural extension work ear—
ried on by eo-operation of the College of Agriculture, University of
Kentucky, with the l'. S. Departinent of Agriculture, and distributed
in furtherance ot the work provided for in the Act of Congress of
May S, 1014. ·

 
  
Nearly all the upland soils of Kentucky, ·
not of limestone origin, and many of the lime- ·
stone soils, themselves, are acid to an injurious
extent.
Liming these soils will make it possible to
grow more and better crops of red clover. lt
is a necessary step in the preparation of land
for alfalfa. In connection with proper soil
treatment otherwise, it will make possible
larger yields of nearly all crops the farmer
grows.
Ground limestone is the best material to
use for liming land. Most farmers in the State
should be able to apply it with reasonable
trouble and expense.
On the Experiment Station soil fertility
feds Foczitcd on the acid soils of the State, an
investment per acre of $9.40 in ground lime··
s are and acid phosphate (this does not include
cos? of wagon haul and of spreading) has
A given, in four years’ time, crop increases worth
$34.06, using pre-war prices for farm products.
There is no reason why farmers should not se-
sxzre equally good if not better results.
