Extract

1. These field experiments show that equilibrium after applications of lime may be attained on arable land between one and two years later.

2. The quantitative correcting effects of a given dressing seem to be about equal on different soils.

3. Added calcium carbonate is quickly converted into exchangeable calcium base to an extent which depends on the individual soil.
