INSPECTION OF LIME PRODUCTS USED IN 

 AGRICULTURE 



By H. D. Haskins, L. S. Walker and S. J. Broderick 



Most Massachusetts soils are sour or acid. Satisfactory growth 

 of many crops is impracticable without fairly generous applications 

 of lime bearing materials. Such materials, however, are bulky, and 

 to the original cost must be added that of railroad transportation, 

 road haulage, and labor of application. It is most important, 

 therefore, that the facts as to composition and probable effective- 

 ness be determined. This bulletin reports these facts for the lime 

 products offered for sale to Massachusetts farmers during the year 

 1923. 



Requests for bulletins should be addressed to the 



AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION
