T., WINTER.',' _ LIME AS A MANURE FORV.TURNIPS.', ; ; :. . J -TO THE EDITOR " OTAGO BAIL X TIMES. :   u> . ,:j Sir, —Lime is well-known, to the farmer; as being beneficial, for pasture land and for grain:crops, but it is.not often fapplit?d to turnips,- and as the re sult has been very successful, I have :much pleasure 'in'giving farmers the benefit of the experiment. . , -,;.'•' "" :" '''".:! r ~V I have had a strong impression for many years that inub'h 6f. the land of Dunedin, and especially in Southland j would benefit' by ,'thfl! use of lime, ,aijd. we tried it several times on Edendale with satisfactory results for grassland oats, but the price of the lime and the railway carriakge made the use of it pro hibitory. Recently, however, both have been considerably reduced, although' still too high, and last spring we determined to give liming a trial on a larger scale than hitherto, the result of which is given in tKe following, extract ,frqm ; the annual report of our Edendale manager:— , . ( . , ; " Last year we limed 200 acres at a cost of £460 14s 6d. Limet post £231 j 3s 4d, railage £163 13s lid, carting and spreading £75 13s 3dj clearing couch , grass £36 13s 3d extra. This, seems a heavy outlay, but ]there is sueh r a magnificent crop of turnips after the'lime thafc the cost.will t be repaid twice over this year, and then there is the permanent good the land will derive from' the lime. Ten acres in the paddock were left unHmed, with the result that we haveno turnips there,although they had exactly <the same labor; seed andborie dust; The crop after the lime is worth £5 an acre, and if we had used ho 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, couch and other, objection-, able grasses, and that we thought "the best way of clearing it"woujd be to grub out the coach grass as well as we could, and th«en linie and manure, the ( ground well so as to produce a good crop of turnips, Accordingly the ground was well I 'worked, and 2 tons of lime and 3 cwt of bone dust applied. The turnips were sown partly in drills and partly broadcast, but 10 acres-—an average of the land—was left unlimed. The turnips on the drills and broad cast are a splendidCerop ; but although the 10-acre patch got 3cwt of bones there are almost no turnips. I may say, however, that we have good rcrops iri j other paddocks without lime, but not equal to the limed ones. Next year I intend increasing the quantity of lime and reducing the bone dust; but if the cost of the lime and the railway carriage were reduced a little further we would use lime still more largely. Very few farmers can afford to expend £2 an acre, for manuring their land although they may feel satisfied that it would pay well : to do so, and I think the Railway Commissioner^ n light see their way, to carry agricultural lime at a nominal rate, especially as "the railway has to bring so many empty timber tracks back to Southland past IMilburn. Then they should also bear in mind that the use of lime increases.the crops by <15 to 20 bushels an acre, and the feeding capacity of turnips and grass in still greater proportion, the bulk of which increase would be carried by the railw.ay ; and generally farmers would become more prosperous and benefit the whole- community. We have only to look at what the Tokomairiro Plain was a few y.sars 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, which fattens instead of starves tho stock.—l am, etc., THOMAS BHYDONE. . Dunedin, June 10^ ...
