So it follows that while your
soil anay be high in organic
matte, (.manure, peat, green
vegetation) and possesses good
texture,. drainage and tilth, it
may still fail to produce as it
,should. This may be due in
certain, spots to too high acid-
ity, recognizable where toad-
stools appear, but in this neigh-
borhood at least, it is far more
likely to be lack of calcium.
Lime i, �thenefore essentially an
amender of soil condition and
for this reason may be just as
neccary on an alkaline as on
an acid soil. Even acid soils,
comparatively high in calcium
content may require lime to
balance the level of the hydro-
gen, while sandy soils having
high alkalinity are often low
in calcium. If soil is continu
R'ously--•SerGtilized: _a ri.th organic
and/or t,inorganic Material, it
will soon Iose the • c''aIcium con-
tent essential for heavy produc-
tion whether in terms of flow-
ers or of vegetables.
As a general rude when man-
ure, high in nitrogen content,
is ail/plied the tendency is to
increase the acidity, and lime
must be added. Manure and
lime should not be mixed but
applied separately. - The degree
of acidity caused by nitrogen
fertilizers depends on the
amount of organic matter the
soil holds. Acid forming fer-
tilizers have a greater effect
on soils low in orgalic matter
such as sandy soils, the reverse
being true on ,heavy, clay soils.
The condition of a given soil
is measured. by the .given
of l,rtr1+-art
what is known as a Of scale
ranging from 1 to 10. A neut-
Iral soil has a pH of 7; above
this number the soil is alkaline

•
The final question is, how
much lime to apply and while
this is dependent on the analy-
sis of the given- soil, some idea
may be had from the figure of
4 to 8 pounds of lime per an-
num per 100 square feet of
area. Less should be applied
on a sandy soil and more on
clay. Lime should not be ap-
'plied to acid loving plants such
as: azalea, cardinal flower,
chrysanthemum, lady slipper,
fir, lupin, lily, marigold, mag-
nolia, oak, orchid, pine, prim-
rose, raspberry, rhododendron,
spruce or -yew.
Agricultural lime (slaked
lime or Ca(OH)2) should be ap-
plied"three mbnths before plant-
ing which will give it time to
release nutrients for good
growth. It nay be spread by
hand or;'using a spreader as in
the cs'se of a ° blue grass lawn
and should be worked into the -
sail immediately by forking
over but, on steep banks it may
be spread and left for the rains
to wash it in.
Among the great rivers of the
world is the Lena River in east
central Siberia. Risimg not far
from Lake -B-a-MV- the Lena
flows for nearly three thousand
miles before emptying into an
arm of the Arctic Ocean. Some-
times called the "river of a
thousand tributaries," the Lena
drains an area of one million,
169 thGusand square "mTies,
nearly as much as the Missis-'
sippi...:..
