VALUE OF LIME It has been found through ex- periments over a period of the past 25 years that lime has direct value to apple trees. The nature of the root system of the applf. penetrating fairly deep into the soil, enables the tree to obtain all *he lime it requires from the sub- soil. The apple, furthermore, is a plant which prefers a slightly acid soil and docs best under these con- ditions. However, lime is of direct value because it enables the farm- er to grow leguminous cover crop.! in the orchard and thereby sup- ply organic matter and nitrogen which are the two constituents ab- solutely essential for the maximum production of fruit. It was decided at a metting of the Old Homo \Veok Executive on Tues- day afternoon to leave the disposi- tion ol the surplus funds from the !-r>!(. !ir:\ri. in la:'t August to the thirty- two backers of the celebration.
