D. 2 Lime Neglect Means Disaster Raising the lime status of poorly limed soil is costly, but maintaining a well limed soil is one of the lest expensive jobs on the faim, according to Dr. William II Mitchell, extension agronomist at the University of Delaware. There is no such thing as in stant soil fertility, he explains If soil is not well limed, it is al most impossible to make it so in a single year. Lime may be applied quickly, but may re quire three or more years to mix with the soil and make de sirable chemical changes. The more finely lime is ground, the more rapidly it will react with the soil, adds Mit chell And most of the line com ing into Delaware is well ground and of high quality. Fall applications allow lime to re act with the soil during the idle winter months. Concern over losing some of the benefits of lime often cause us to neglect the fate of other plant nutrients Actually, farm ers seldom recover more than 70 percent of the nitrogen or 50 percent of the phosphorus in the year they are applied. Yet they continue to apply these and neglect lime. New research, large farm units and low profit margins have moved growers in the direction of more nitrogen, earlier plantings and little or no fertilizer in the planter Coupled with a poor liming program, this trend may be disasterous For every 100 pounds of nitiogen applied as urea, ammonium nitrate or an hydrous ammonia, about 200 pounds of lime are needed to neutralize added acidity Soil tests and newly develop ed plant analysis techniques provide the best hope of esta blishing optimum nutrient lev els and solving the problem of nutrient ratios These are prob lems that may remain unseen L.

In the year ahead, fertility re mains the key to top economic yields. But soil fertility cannot be raised this month or this spring it must be planned now and be worked at as long as you till the soil. Fertility is a complex matter, but to develop proper fertility, the best start is a load of lime. PUREBRED GUERNSEY SALE ' Thursday, February 27, 1969, 12:30 Noon At the Ass’n. Sales Pavilion, 6 mi.
