LIME IN THE SOIL.
EXPERIMENT AT CAWTHRON. (Per Press Association.) NELSON, This Day. Experiments carried out by the Cawthron Institute, while emphasising the great improvement in the yield or pasture affected by the application of ammonium sulphate, showed that the lime content of pasture grass was materially decreased by its use. The Institute states that in those rases where naturally a low supply of lime is produced in the soil the use of ammonium sulphate, through lowering the lime content of pasture grass, might react unfavourably on the health of stock. The results of the experiment emphasised the great importance of maintaining the lime status of the soil.
