LIME-SWEET CLOVER
HELP SAND LANDS
Urbana III. Aug. 12. "When lime
and sweet clover are properly used
on such soil as the blow sand lands
in Henderson county, the crop yield
may easily he doubled," said Prof.
X. J. Snider of the University of Illi
nois today. Ilis statement Is of gen
eral inte; est because of the vast
stretches of sand land in this state. I
particularly along the Mississippi, ll
inolS and Wabash, anil other riv
ers.
in i!H4 the University of Illinois
began extensive experiments on a 20
acre tracj of blow sand la Henderson
county to determine the fertility of
this type of land Results at the
end of six years show that an appli
cation of four tons of limestone per
acre is th" first essential to reclaim
ing the l end. Limestone, however, is
no less essential than sweet clover,
grown as green manure crop.
lAitaita does exceptionally weti on
mis land wnen once it is property
started. addeil Snider. On limed
land the yields have been as high as
four and one half tons of hay per
acre."
The university found that rye does
veil on this type of land also In
1!20. untreated land yielded thirteen
bushels of rye, while land which had
received lime and sweet clover treat
ment yielded twenty-nine bushels.
