Slßj Lime is well-known to the former as being beneficial: for .pasture land and for.grain crops, but it is not often applied to turnips, and as thejre-i suit has been very successful, I haye much; pleasurel'invgiving ifariners the: benefit of the experiment. , ; "".'"l'^r'" ■''" "tiJ,:.'<'; "!l ino; il AI have had a strong impression for many years, that much of the land soath of Dunedin, and especially in Southland, would benefit by Jthe usd o£liihe;<ind we tried it several times on Edendale.with satisfactory; results) for (grass md oats, but the price of the lime and the -railway carriage.'made the useof'it {in 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 thai} hitherto, the result of which is given in the following extract from the annual report of our Edendale manager :— < . f. ■ " Last year we limed 200 acres at a cost of £460,14s 6d. Lime cost £221 3s 4d, railage £163 13s lid, carting and spreading £75,13s 3d, clearing ccjuch grass £36 13s 3d extra. This seems a heavy outlay,'but i 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 derive from the lime. Ten acres in the paddock were left unlimed, -with*'the result thab we haveno turnips there,although they had exactly the same laboriseedandbone 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." . t I may explain that the paddock is situated near the Edehdale'railway j station, and was considerably out of order through couch and other objection able grasses, and that we thought the best way of clearing it would be 1 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,lU Accbrdingly the gnurid 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, but 10 acres—an average of the> land—was left unlimed/ The turnips on the, drills and broad cast are a splendid crop ; but although the 10-acre'patch got 3cwt of pones there are almost no turnips. , I may say, however, 1 that we have gofcd cwps in other paddocks without lime, but not equal to the limed ones. .Next jear I intend increasing the quantity of lime and reducing the bone dust; butjif the cost of the li me 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 tha^it would/pay well to do so, and I think the Railway Commissioners might see, their way to carry agricultural lime at a nominal rate, especially as the railway lias to"bring so many empty timber trucks back to Southland past Milburn., f Then theyshould also bear in roind 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 propbirtiqn, the bulk of which increase would be carried by' the railway ;. and generally farmers would become more prosperous and benefit the whole community. ■We have only to look at what the Tokomairiro Plain was a feyr 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, .which fattens instead of starves the stock.—l am, etc,, - ; THOMASvBRYBONE. i Dunedin, June 10 '.',".,■■>/ '!.'■■>••;..
