Spread your lime now while the ground is hard and dry. Not only do
you keep your fields free from damaging ruts, but also your lime
actually does more good. By applying lime now, and plowing it
down, you give it a chance to react with soil and fertilizer and boost
yields of the next crop in your rotation.
Right now Agway equipment is available. There's no waiting as
sometimes happens during the spring rush. A call today can bring a
truck tomorrow. Call your Agway store or repiesentative right now.

grains and hay for his fatten
ing steers, plans to cut back
his tobacco acreage this year
from about 30 to 10. He feels
the “prospect's don’t look at all
good for next year, and labor
is getting harder to get and
higher-priced. We’ll grow more
corn and tomatoes in place of
the tobacco,’’ he said._
