Roy M.

Hania, chairman of the Clinton Agricultural Conservation Committee says that the addition wp encourage applying lime and superphos- phate to the soil several months Before seedings are made. State agronomists have found that this practice is frequently the best way ot getting ground ready for seeding grasses and legumes. "The new list contains severa. different lime and superphosphate treatments," Mr. Hanna says, 'so that a farmer may pick one tha exactly fits the requirements of hi land.

The payments for the prac tice will cover part of the cost the lime and superphosphate user. "Preparing land in such a wa: will count as a soil-building prac tice this year; and payments there for will come out of each farm 1936 soil building allowance. However, payments for the new practice will be made only in cases where the county committee satisfies itself that the farmer definitely make the seedings of grasses and legumes next Spring." Farmers are getting details of the lime and superphosphate practice, and of other new practices added to the list at the same time, from the County Agricultural Conservation Office or from their local committeeman.
