FINE LIMESTONE IS THE BEST 



To Mcurt- iK-.st results limcstnnc that is 

 used for soil improvement should be finely 

 ground. Experiments have shown that when 

 everjthinn is considered it is best to use 

 material that is pulverized fine enough to 

 pass through an eight mesh or ten mesh 

 sieve. The Missouri College of .'\griculture, 

 through P. F. Schowengerdt. soil sjiecialist, 

 cautions farmers against using coarser lime- 

 stone unless it is applied in such large 

 quantities that sufficient fine material will be 

 supplied. 



It will not be profitable to use the coarse 

 limestone and apply larger amounts unless 

 it can be purchased for considerably less per 

 ton than the correct size would cost. This 

 is true because, if only thrce-fourtlis of a 

 given quantity of material will pass through 

 the eight mesh sieve, it will be necessary to 

 purchase, haul and spread about one-third 

 more ground limestone in order tf) get 

 emuigh on the soil to produce the desired 

 results. — rioii'cr Grower.
