(2) Oxide type, such as burned lime or hy drated lime. “Martin’s Agricultural Limestone” belongs to the first type (carbonate). This kind, after years of continued use. has proved itself prefer able to burned or hydrated lime (oxide type), which is unsatisfactory because it has a distinct tendency to injure young and tender plants. Moreover, the oxide type has a definite in clination to return to the carbonate type after application. Why then should the oxide type be used when it tends to turn into the carbonate type, and furthermore costs two or three times more. This is why the carbonate type in its ori ginal form is much more practical and economical to use. Pennsylvania State College has been conduct ing fertilize!' tests for over a period of 50 years. During that time it has been demonstrated that the ground limestone (carbonate type, like Mar tin’s Limestone) produced greater average gains than did the oxide, burnt lime. But most impor tant of all was the evidence that the lack of any kind of lime so often seriously limited the yields in most crops. MARTIN'S LIMESTONE IV \\ M. 3IVRTIX, Inc.
