Extract

The practical advantages accruing from the use of lime are now generally recognised, but on account of the complexity of the changes induced it is by no means easy to determine, in the case of a field soil, the exact extent to which one effect or set of effects has contributed to the general improvement of the soil in relation to its crop-producing power.
