Several farmers have been inquir
ing in regard to putting limestone
on thier soil. T'r. Edlund of
Wasllla has an exthsive bed of
marl ( which is the same as lime
stone except this usually carries
a much higher percentage of cal
cium carbonate - the useful in
gredient in limestone rock).
The marl bed at Edlunds lake is
approximately fifteen feet deep
and is 90>o pure lime. There are i
about two truck loads of this '
marl piled up close to the rond
and Mr. Edlund says any ferner
who wants it may have it free of
charge for his land. When this
pile is gone additional marl will
have to be dug cut with a dragline
or the cherry-picker.
Most farmers from previous exper
ience know the value of .lime in
thair soil. Lime- is 'not a fer
tilizer and should not he used as
such although results of using
lime are often greater than those
received from the use of a heavy
application of fertilizer. Lime'
tends to sweeten*a’sour soil and
put it in a better physical con
dition for the growth of most of
our farm crops, except potatoes.
( It is better not to use lime on
potato ground). It puts soll in
the proper condition for the most
ccondnical and complete use of
fertilizers which the farmer applies
to his crops. It i$ like the water
that washes down the dry crackej*.
The marl comes out of the pit in a
wet pasty condition. The big pro
blem is to put it on the ground
cvcenly.
