LIMING THE SOIL tt FOR SALE An Improved Texas Fi arm A soil deficient of lime is "sour" nr "ftftid." In the presence of acid it is impossible for the bacteria to I properly do their work of taking; nitrogen from the air, says M. A. j TWn0n nf the Ohio experiment sta tion. Liming the soil is done prin cipally for the purpose of increasing the clover crop. However, on many acid soils there will no doubt be ma terial increase in the yield of other crops following the application of lime. It will be noticed that they have a greener and more thrifty ap pearance. This is because the bac teria which cause the organic mat ter of tho soil to decay and those which cause nitrification, the process a... uin-h nitrntpa are formed, are also enabled to carry on their work I OFFER for Sale 240 acres of land, three miles from Mission, Texas, on the Rio Grande, 200 acres are cleared and under irriga tion.
