This field would produce in average years 75 bushels of corn an acre 

 but it was too sour to grow alfalfa, until lime was applied. The presence of 

 weeds and the yellow color and sickly growth of the alfalfa on the unlimed 

 corner was visible for a distance of one-half mile. 



Fig. 27. Lime is conveniently distributed with a manure spreader.
