Since lime is gradually cari-ied downward in the soil, it should 

 be applied to the ploAved surface and worked in as the seed-bed 

 is prepared. Truck farmers sometimes plow under burned lime 

 and manure together in order to hasten the action of the ]nanure, 

 but in general farm i^ractice the manure should be plowed down 

 before the lime is applied, otherwise much of the value of the 

 manure Avill be lost. 



Have your county agricultural agent test the soil from your 

 fields, lie can tell you not only whether lime is needed, but also 

 how much you should use of the different forms to supply the 

 lime requirements of your soil.
