J L Boatman notes a five acre Benton county tract with an excellent hay stand after year ahead lime, while nearby plots with spring lime had only fair stands. similar results occur in other counties. lime ahead also aids standby soils for winter wheat, allowing acid correction before young plants require nutrients.
