USE OF LIME
AS A SOIL TONIC
Many diseases like club root in cabbages, cloVer sickness, etc., live in the soil and attack certain crops. Lime checks these diseases and thus ensures health and vitality in plants. Lime is also effective to a greater or lesser degree in ridding the soil of certain insect pests such as slugs, snails, leatherjackets, and so forth. It also liberates many of tho mineral salts which are in the soil and which arc not available for the plants without lime.
