Book synopsis

Excerpt from Limestone Action on Acid Soils In America, the beneficial effect of the use of lime has been fully realized only within the last few years. Some of the older experiment stations, among them Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Rhode Island, were the first to demonstrate the benefit derived from liming the soil, and both Pennsylvania and Maryland also emphasized the feasibility of using ground limestone for this purpose. The work of the Illinois Experiment Station1 has demonstrated the great value of ground lime stone ou acid soils. There are some questions, however, regarding the use of limestone upon which additional information is needed: viz., Can dolomitic limestone be used successfully on acid soils, and what is its value compared with high-calcium limestone? What is the comparative value of the finely ground material and that more coarsely ground, which can be purchased more cheaply? What is the durability of the various forms and kinds of lime when applied to soils in the field? What effect does the application of limestone to the surface have upon the acidity of the subsurface and the subsoil? What is the annual loss of limestone from the soil, and what are the factors which contribute to this loss?
