These nodules are vich in ni- irogon and store the soil with an liVur.da-.H.e of plant food for the use of crops. If acid is present in the soil the growth of these nodules is hindered with not only disastrous results to the plants thomselv- us. upon they are dependent for their supply of nitrogen, but there is little benefit to crops that follow on account of few or no nodules having been formed. The application ot" lime is not expensive. Three tons of ground lime per acre is usually sufficient for most soils.

This does not need to be applied every year but once in 7 to 10 years iias been to ue ofi.cii enough in most regions. Old worn soils that have been farmed for a long time are most apt to bu acid. Ground that is well drained is just as apt to be acid as bottom land and sometimes more so, as limestone is soluable in water and the bottom land sometimes has the advantage of a i had the wash from i a fields for many decades. The soils of Floyd rire for I the most part acid. Out of about 15u tests made here and there around the this past season only 11 per- i cent have shown no acidity.

The use of lime correct acidity is no new thing. it is being done in this state farmers are getting Inrger yields of clover, are growing alfalfa successfully, and growing more corn ami potatoes to ihu acre on clover sod. and are increasing the fertility of their farms as never before. At a meeting of a held at. Floyd a short time ago it was decided to form a company or club of 20 members i i in the eastern part of the county for the purpose of purchasing a portable limestone pulverizer of 2 to ton per hour capacity.

It is expected that the three re- a i i members will be secured within a short time. Anyone interested in becoming a member of this Uub may call or A.
