The results of the experiments on the Univer- sity soil experiment fields, aecord- ing to-Mr. Miller, give reason for this statment. On some of the fields absolute clover tilures have been changed to clover sue- cesses by the application of two tons of ground limestone. This does not mean that lack of lime is the cause of all clover failures. A soil depleted in its supply of humus, with a consequent defi- ciency of available plant food, the removal of the best of the surface soil by washing on some of the rolling lands and the lack of an adequate drainage on some lands are just as certain to cause clover failure. Very often two or three of these conditions exist. Where a soil has been reasonably cared for, when it is well drained and still grows clover poorly, lime may be the single cause. Very often a lack of humus and a lack of lime are jointly respons- ible for clover failures. Both must be added if clover is to be entire- ly satisfactory. Where lime is badly needed, however, it must be supplied before clover stands are sure. The farmers of Missouri should inform themselves regarding the matter of using lime and the need | of their soils for it. We must | grow clover. Our soils must be in the right condition to do it. Lime is not a cure for every soil troub-| le, however, on many soils the use | of lime is necessary.
