Mr. Dreiling called attention to the error on First Cover Spray Card for apples. Alternate plan (2) should include 3 lbs. lead arsenate, NO spray lime.
I like to see farmers look ahead and plan ahead even though plans can’t always be followed. Henry Wood, Earl Wayland, and Joe Yowell are looking ahead to their liming plans preparatory to seeding. Alfalfa or clover. Soil samples have been collected and sent off for analysis with reports received on two. Why? Simply there is no ned to use liming materials if not needed. Similarly, there’s no need to think of seeding alfalfa or red clover on acid soil. Did it pay to get these analyses? Joe Yowell found out he not only doesn’t need to lime his corn land this year nor will he need to do so for the next 3-4 years. He has been liming once in rotation (3 yrs.) when the land is put to cut. With a pH of 6.5 calcium content high and bagnesium content medium. Mr. Yowell will find it more economical to spend his lime dollars elsewhere.
Earl Wayland who plans to seed alfalfa in August on his property near Amissville finds the pH of his soil almost high enough for alfalfa; one ton of ground limestone will do the job, especially since he will make the application several months in advance to allow time for the lime to react.
