MOIST LIME
"The lime you can'f afford to miss"
Why spend money to lime your neighbors fields when you can
use moist- lime and keep it where you want it.

For every ton of lime a dairyman applies, he gets back an
extra ton of milk during his rotation. 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 becomeavailable.
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. Call your Agway store or repre
sentative and ask for immediate spreader service. But do
it now
