Lime Benefits Crops Boosting Legumes KxperimenU conducted by the agronomy division of the South Carolina Kxperiment Sfhtion indicate that the beneficial effect of lime on such crops as cotton and corn is through the increased growth of the legume crops planted in the rotation, says Dr. T, 8. Huie, agronomist. Where lime is applied directly to either cotton or corn the increase in yield is very slight, hut when it is applied to a legume . crop which is to be turned under for soil improvement, the growth of the legume is greatly increased, and this additional amount of organic matter increases the yield of the succeeding crop. "For special crops such as alfalfa, or where the soil is distinctly acid, lime is necessary," continues Dr. Huie. "For the average conditions in the state, the use of one ton of ground limestone per acre once every three to four years is recommended. Lime aids in the growth and devel opment of the legume crops, und it increases the rapidity of their decomposition no thai 'he plant food contained by them is released for tiie use ?.f luture crops. Observations indicate that under certain .conditions cotton may be more subject to "Rust" following applications of lime. Cum should be taker to sec that a sufficient amount of potash is applied i to prevent this." The one greatest need of Kershaw i county farms is humus. The best i ways to get humus are (1) grow and turn under legume cr>p<, (2) save and apply manure (keep cows). Both legumes and manure put large itmounts of nitrogen into the soil. Nitrogen is the highest priced fertilizer we buy. For best results with legumes our lands must be limed. Lime applied to our pastures will bake the legumes therein, as clovers, more successful. Sweet clover is probably the most valuable pasture and hay crop. A little lime will make it possible to grow sweet clover. Lime is cheap. Try a patch of some legume with lime under it.
