LIME IN SOILS. 



I would like to know if lime dressing 

 of the soil before planting asters will 

 kill insects or drive them away; also 

 how to ai>ply the lime, and in what quan- 

 tity? F. E. M. 



I could have answered this query much 

 more intelligently if you had stated the 

 quality of your soil. The use of lime in 

 agriculture is known to be an ancient 

 practice. It is of greatest benefit on 

 heavy mudk soil, such as comprises the 

 great prairie areas of Illinois, but often 

 of no benefit to a sandy soil. I consider 

 it of great help to carnations. We have a 

 few acres of land twenty-five miles east 

 of Bufl'alo that is full of lime. It came 

 there during the glacial period, about a 

 million years ago. The late Prof, John 

 Fiske, of Harvard, in his beautiful little 

 book, Through Nature to God, says there 

 is indisputable evidence that man in a 

 primitive form was on .the earth and 

 lived through it. Happy old man. He 

 must have been chilly, but coal strikes 

 didn't bother him. He was his own 

 miner, tailor, cook, butcher and cliauffeur 

 and I'll bet he made his frau do all the 

 snow shoveling and other hard work. 



These large slabs of limestone were 

 carried by the glacier on its journey 

 southward from a neighboring ridge of 

 solid limestone some ten miles north of 

 us. As the glacier melted it dropped 

 what it had collected as it scraped over 

 the surface of the earth, leveling off the 

 tops of small hills and gouging out val- 

 leys. A lump of ice a mile thick and of 

 unknown length would have been irre- 

 sistible, so in the course of ages, before 

 Chicago was born, these lumps of ice be- 

 came disintegrated and crumbled inta 

 fragments from pieces affording two 

 cords of building stone to dust. The 

 granite boulders in the same field re- 

 main intact, rounded only to a smooth 

 surface by the countless rains and snows 

 of the seasons. Such a quantity of lime 

 in the soil is, I think, why we can grow 

 good carnations without any very expert 

 knowledge. Generally plants of higher 

 order enjoy lime, anil many of the dis- 

 tricts of Europe would be 'unproductive 

 without the help of lime, particularly the 

 peaty soil of northern Germany, 



Lime is used for two purposes. First, 

 to release other plant food ingredients, 

 and next, to lighten up the soil and make 

 it more porous. We grow good carna- 

 tions, but never noticed that asters were 

 more than ordinary. While tlije great 

 majority of the higher plants are bene- 

 fited by lime, some exceptions occur, The 

 erica family is not only injured but de- 

 stroyed by lime. 



My real, sober opinion i.s that a dress- 

 ing of lime will be of benefit to a field 

 of asters. It may destroy the larvae of 

 insects. The quantity is one ton of lime 

 to an acre of ground. It should be com- 

 posted Avith equal parts of muck or loam. 

 That is the best wav to apply it.
