LIMESTONE — PLASTER — SALT 
LAND LIMESTONE. The use of lime to “sweeten soil” 
is an old practice and is still popular, for lime is essential 
to plant life, a corrective for improper mechanical con¬

production. (Clovers and Alfalfa cannot l>e grown on 
sour soil.) Although not a fertilizer, it acts indirectly 
on plant food in the soil, unlocking what otherwise 
would not be available. Limestone is not caustic and 
may be used with safety at any season. 2,000 to 6,000
