THE DANGER SIGNAL
WHEN SOIL IS° SOUR. Ground that has had frequent applications of manure in the past is apt to become sour and unproductive. The danger signals are leaves and stems that turn a sickly yellowish hue, and sometimes a greenish scum forms on the surface of the soil. Now is the time to counteract this soil aridity by applications of slaked or powdered lime. This should be placed in small heaps between the plants, and left there for the winter rains to wash it into the soil.
