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.
