With lime worth ten dollars a ton, and milk figured at eighty, that's a nice return. Every crop you plant can benefit from correct applications of lime. Your fertilizer will work better. Soil organisms thrive. Organic matter releases nutrients more rapidly. Soil structure is improved. More trace elements become available. And now is the time to spread lime. Equipment is ready to work for you. The land is firm and dry. Whether you plow this fall or next spring, the lime will be there, ready for plow ing down to the root zone v . Call your Agway store or repre sentative and ask for immediate spreader service. But do it now. ~ AGWAY INC. STORES OF GARDEN SPOT UNIT New Holland Delmarva July 29, 1966 Lancaster • A.B.C.
