Whatever elements are re moved from the soil by cropping must be replaced in some way, if fertility is maintained. The ability of a sol I to produce well depends up on the chemical constituents that are present in it, provided its me chanical condition is such ns to ren- de*' these matters available to plants. These matters or constituents are the food upon which plants li w *', and a knowledge of them, combined with the chemical composition ol the ash es of different plants, suggests a ra tional system of agriculture. The importance of a jud cious succession ol crops in order to maintain leriili y, in the light ol these facts, is at once apparent. Some crops remove a lar ger proportion of particular elements than other, while some derive nutri ment from near the surface, ar.il some send their roots to a greater depth to gather substance; hence the impor tance of following the former with the latter, Htid of supplying in the way of manures the substance nec essary to surlace growing plunts.
