Moody, Fruit industries Commissioner, PefEUj Australia, says :—“A good soil should contain at least one per and if less than this proportion is present, DRESSING BECOMES NECESSARY. It must always be remembered that' one par cent, of lime will not last long under ordinary conditions, for it is continually being lost by precipitation and leaching, and plants consume certain quantities. It is estimated that if the lima contents fall below one-fifth per cent, manures will not act, and I have no doubu that this is the reason why such poor results ace often shown when ample manures have been applied to the soil. Mr Moody also states “ When buying quicklime, always see that is FRESH GY BURNED. If ground, see that it is FRESHLY GROUND.” ’ou can be sure of this if you get your lime from AMNER’S.
