The lime was applied as a tdp dressing on land intended for roots at the rate of 2 tons per acre on potatoes: andfcrrots, and one ton on mangold land. The land had been well tilled' previous to laying on' the lime, and after spreading was well harrowed into the soil. Notwithstanding the fact that the season was most unfavorable for all root crops, I have had a very fair, crop; more especially in the case of potatoes and carrots, which; in quality, are the best I have grown since coming to the country. -I am satisfied that any farmer having a little spare cash could not find a better investment for it tl^an giving his paddock a dressing with lime.

WINTER. LIME AS A MANURE FOR TURNIPS. TO THE EDITOR f'OTAQO.iDAILY iTIMES. ' Sir, —Lime is well-known to the farmer' as being beneficial for pasture land and for grain.crops, but it isnto often applied to turnips,' arid' v&£ the re sult has been very successful, I "have much pleasure,' in giving fanners the benefit of the experiment.' ' '• ' ( ■■> .3 i. • j ■ ' f ■ - ■I have had a strong impression, for many, years that muph, of the; land south of Dunediri;' and e&pecially in' Southland, would benefit by the use of lime, and we tried it several times on Edendale with satisfactory results for grass and oats, but the price of the lime and the railway cairriage 'made thd'.iise of it pivy hibitory. Recently, however, both have'been (jonsiderablyreiiuced, although still too high, and last spring we determined to g'jiyfe liming- a 1 trial on a larger scale than hitherto, the result of -which is; givenVin'the following extract from tlie annual report of our Edendale manager :—p ... •■ 1 " Last year we limed 200 acres at a cost of £460 14s 6d. Lime cost £221 3s 4d, railage £163 13s lid, carting and spreadimg £75 133 3d, clearing couch grass £36 13s 3d extra. This seems, a hea-vy outlay, but there is such a magnificent crop of turnips after the lime that the cost will be repaid twice over this year, and then there is the permanent good the land will derivefrom the lime. Ten acres in the paddock \yere left vmlimed, with the result that we haveno turnips there,although they had exactly tJie samo labor, seed and bone dust. The crop after the lime is worth £5 an acre, and if we had used no lime it would not have paid the cost of the cultivation. The -railway carriage is still too high on lime, and I hope to see it reduced.'* I may explain that the paddock is situated near the Edendale railway station, and was considerably out of order through coucli and other objection* abje grasses, and that we thought the best way of clearing it would be to grub out the couch grass as well as we could, and then lime and manure the ground well so as to produce a good crop of turnips, Accordingly the ground was well worked, and 2 tons of lime and 3 cwt of bone' dust applied. The turnips were sown partly in drills and partly broadcast, 1 but .10 acres—an average of the land—was left unlimed. The turnips on th c drills and .broad cast are^ a splendid crop; but although the 10-acre patch got 3cwt of bones there are almost no turnips. I may say, however, that we h.iave good crops in other paddocks without lime, but not equal to the limed om «. Next year I intend increasing the quantity of lime ; and reducing the bone t ; but if the cost of the,lime and the railway, carriage were reduced a little i intn?r we would use lime still more largely. Very few farmers can afford to exj wend £2 an acre for manuring their land although they mayifeel satisfied that it would pay well to do so, and I think the Railway Commissioners might see' th'eii" way to carry agricultural lime at a nominal rate, especially as the railway has to bring so, many empty timber trucks back to Southland past Milburn. The jn ±hey should also bear in mind that the use of.lime increases the crops by 115 to 20 bushels an acre, arid the feeding capacity of turnips and grass in still grea' fcer proportion, the; bulk of which increase would be carriecl by the railway; and. generally farmers would become more prosperous and benefit the whole con imunity. We have only to look at what the Tokbmairiro Plain was a few years ago and what it is now by the application of lime: Then it grew sorrel'and Yorkshire fog— now it produces excellent crops of wheat and turnips and grass, wlhich fattens instead of starves the stock.—l am, etc., i • .
