KXCKSS OF LIME IN SOIL 
The first effects of root-rot and excess lime in the soil are much the same. However, in the 
case of root-rot, the tree will eventually die, whereas in the case of lime, it does not die so 
quickly. Root-rot causes the bark of the roots to peel off easily, but quite the contrary is true 
in the case of lime. To overcome the condition of excess lime, use 1 to 1% pounds of Iron Sulphate 
around an orchard tree, well worked into the soil so as to reach the ends of the roots. 
FERTILIZERS 
Many soils require fertilizers, and all will be benefited by its application. Although there are 
many excellent commercial fertilizers prepared, the best fertilizer of all is barnyard manure. How¬ 
ever, only well-rotted manure should be used. In planting the trees, the fertilizer should be mixed 
with the soil that goes into the hole in the proportion of one part fertilizer to four parts of dirt. 
Fertilizer may be applied every year or two and should be worked into the soil. As the tree 
grows apply fertilizer farther and farther from the main stem, so that it may reach the small 
feeding-roots which, in the case of shade and fruit trees, may be out 8 to 15 feet from the trunk 
of the tree.
