Nevada City Distributors @8 GARDEN By L. B. LAGESON Agricultural Commissioner THE USES OF LIME Lime improves the texture of cer. tain heavy soils, but its excessive use may prove injurious to most garden . winter. Any of the various forms of . crops. As a general rule asparagus, . celery, beets, spinach and sometimles carrots are benefitted by the mod. erate, use of lime, especially on soils ‘that are naturally deficient in lime. Most of the garden vegetables do . best in soil that are slightly acid and all vegetables are injured by the ap. pitention of lime in excess of their . requirements. For this reason it should be applied only where it is . definitely shown by actual test to be necessary, and in no case should it be applied in large quantities. As a matter of factrmost garden soils that . are in a high State of fertility do not good drainage, plenty of manure in the soil, and the moderate use of commercial fertilizers, the growth requirements of nearly all vegetables may be fully met. Where lime is applied it should be spread following. plowing or spading and should be well mixed with the ‘tdp,soil. It should not be applied at. the same time as or mixed with commercial fertilizers or manures, on ac‘count of the chemical changes that take place resulting in the loss of! nitrogen, and thus destroying the eifectiveness of the fertilizers. Lime should not as a rule, be applied in the fall, on account of its becoming leached from the soil during the lime such as hydrated lime and air-. slaked lime may be used. In some. cases the unburned but finely ground limerock is used,, but its action is. slower than that of burned-~ lime. Finely ground oyster shells and marl are frequently. used as a substitute] for lime. Lime should not be used on land that is being planted to potatoes because of its influence on the development of potato seed. The flag pole on the belfry of the historic fire house, No. 1 on Main street was yesterday ordered taken down by the city council. It leaned precariously toward a high powered electric line. Fire House No. 1, according to City Clerk George Calanan, was built in the early 60s’ by John B. Patterson, (Nevada County’s first county clerk. It was altered’ somewhat, the belfry added and a gingerbread front instal led by Phillip Byrnes a contractor, about ten years later. Said Calanan: ‘All the bells of Nevada City on the morning of July 4th were wont to ring out for fifteen minutes. celebrating the birth of a free nation. For a great many years this was the custom.
