More than 20 thines as many carrots to the acre on limed soil as on acid soil is the phenomenal result obtained by A. W. Blair, soll chemist at the New Jersey experiment station, in his experiments with lime on vegetables, Writing In the New Jersey Agricul ture, official publication of the experi ment station, Professor Blair explains the methods employed and the resully obtained. Carrots Were Planted. The report deals with four one for- tieth-acre plots, The soll of plot one is strongly uacid and hos received no Hime for many years; plot two received ground limestone at the rate of 1.000 pounds per acre; plot three limestone at the rate of 2,000 pounds per acre, and plot four limestone at the rate of 4,000 pounds per acre (limestone ap plied at intervals of five years). Car rots were planted on each plot The yield on the unlimed acid plot was al the rate of only 300 pounds per acre (more than half too small to market) On the other hand, where 2,000 pounds of limestone was used the yield was 8,000 pounds of carrots to the acre and with 4,000 pounds of limestone the yield was 10,700 pounds to the acre. Beets Also Used. test was conducted with yields were as follows: Where the 2oil was strongly acid, very few seeds germinated and the crop weelved 1,000 3,200 the of beets limestone to the 2.000 pounds pounds of plot that gave received beets, and the plot that received 4.000 pounds of limestone gnve 7.750 pounds of beets (beets were welghed without tops) results on this plot it would appear that over ng may, in some cases, depress the yield, Professor Blair In his article sug that to ha their setable growers would do well to get From the Hin Zests ve golls tested ve in tonch either with thelr local count) aericulinral agents or with the experi ment station at New Brunswick.
