EMERSON’S REVITALIZING SOIL FORMULA—Let each farmer take 10 per cent 
of his tillable acreage each year and treat it as follows: In the Fall, thoroughly 
chop up the old meadow with a disc harrow before plowing. Sow this land in the early 
Spring with oats and peas. Top-dress this crop with barnyard manure or 4-8-4 Emesco 
fertilizer. When in bloom again use your harrow to cut the crop before plowing. Seed 
the same land with buckwheat. When in bloom harrow thoroughly before plowing. 
Seed the third time to rye and winter vetch. This crop should be harrowed and plowed 
the following May. 
The Importance of Lime for Soils 
You cannot be too sure about this principal element in stimulating all round 
plant growth. 
For soils of light or loamy character 
that show, after test, slight acidity. 
If, after test, this loamy or sandy soil is 
extremely acid, we suggest the following 
treatment. 
On heavy soils of slight acidity. 
If you find on your heavy soil extreme 
acidity, an even heavier application would 
be as suggested. 
In using hydrated or air-slacked lime 
limestone is to be recommended.

For home gardens lime can be worked into the soil with a rake or hoe. Farmers 
usually get best results when it is applied to plowed ground and disk-harrowed in. 
Emerson will be pleased to test your soil sample without charge for acidity 
and to give you the proper recommendation as to quantity and how it is to be 
applied.
