The
Satisfaction
That Conies
Good Job Of
Farming
It’s a great feeling to know that you are the
master of your farmlands . . . that'when you
treat your soil right, it will treat you nght.
Liming is one of the most important factors in
keeping your soil in the highest productive
range. By raising the pH from a level below
6.0 to 6.5 or higher, you can expect to harvest
7 more bushels of wheat per acre, with similar
increases for all other forage and cash crops.
