USE GROUND LIME
STONE FOR PEANUTS
A LEGUME THAT CALLS FOR LIME
AND PAYS WELL FOR
ITS USE
By ANDREW M. SOULE, President
Ga. State College Of Agriculture
It will be found to be good practice
to use finely ground limestone on land
Intended for peanuts. The limestone,
or agricultural lime as it is frequently
called, should be bought by analysis,
as the various brands manufactured
differ in quality and value. We believe
it will be a mistake to apply less than
1,000 pounds per acre, and in many
cases It will be good practice to use
as much as 2,000 pounds per acre. It
is not necessary to lime land oftener
thah once every three years. The use
of lime will prevent to a large extent
the formation of "pops’' and increase
the yield of peanuts. The use of
ground limestone in southwest Geor
gia will become a matter of general
interest, now that the farmers in that
section are turning more specifically
to the growth of leguminous crops on
account of the boll weevil invasion.
Where a large area is to be limed,
a lime distributor can be used to dis
tribute the ground limestone most
economically and uniformly. Lime can,
of course, be scattered broadcast from
a wagon bed, and the farmer who can*
not afford to purchase a distributor
should follow this plan. Care should
be used to distribute the lime uniform
ly. The ground should be plowed be
fore the lime is applied. It may then
be breadoasted over the land and har
rowed in. Lime should not be mixed
with acid phosphate according to our
understanding of this problem. When
this is done we think a certain
amount of the available phosphorous
In the acid phosphate in changed into
a form that is less available to the !
plants for food.
It will be a mistake not to put acid
phosphate under the peanuts. We be
lieve 300 to 600 pounds per acre will
give profitable returns, and when pot
ash can be bought at normal prices it
should also be used.
