LIMITED LAND.
TO THE EDITOB.
, Sir, — Re lime, and how to use it, I should like some particulars from those who have used it. Reading in your valuable paper the many articles, etc., on the use of lime, induces me to ask for further information. Some years ago I got a truck of lime carted into the paddocks, some grass land, and some on to ground for turnips. I put it in small heaps, and after a time spread it with a longhandled shovel. Result: no difference in grass or crop so fay as could be detected by the eye. I have ordered another truck this season (I understand crushed quicklime is not to be had), and would like to know the best means of using it without getting special machines for the purpose for ground that has "been fallowed during the winter for rape and for turnips, separate crops— whether to sow on surface and harrow or how: otherwise. I should not like to spend money on machinery to sow it without first finding out whether it will pay. Any further information about sowing and using lime will be thankfully- received.— l am, etc< -^ 4 p^j ER South Canterbury, October 19. , [The subject is dealt with by ' Agncola in this week's Notes on Rural Topics, but possibly some one who has made a study liming land may be inclined to give us ms experience. — Ed.]
