REGARDING PLANT LIFE
Important Subject of Interest to All
Agriculturist* Further Dlaouaaed
by Georgia Stale UhemliU
LETTER MO. 2.
All living things, both plant and ani
mal, may be traced book to two sources,
the soil and the atmosphere. In the
last analysis every particle of which
they are oomposed must have been de
rived either from the air or the earth.
The food derived from the air ie by far
greater in quantity then that from the
soil, bat as the elements of plant food
ill the atmosphere automatically renew
themselves, there need never be any
fear that the atmosphere will be ex*
haaeted of the elements of plant food
whloh it oontains; the soil, however,
is a different proposition. The elements
of plant food contained are mnoh less
abundant than In the air; in foot, many
of them are quite limited in quantity,
and the best efforts of the farmer are
needed to improve the condition of his
noil so as to render the plant fdoti In il
more available; to prevent such plant
food as exists from washing away,
and to add plant food from any other
available sources. The soil is any part
of the earth's surface whioh is capable
of cultivation and of the production of
crops.
The geologists tell ns that when
the earth first oooled down from a mol
ten oondicion there was no soil any
where, bat onlv rook, great granite
boulders and rooks of other nature, bnt
that in the vast periods of time whioh
elapsed between the oooling down of
the earth's crust and the time when
man and other animals began to ap
pear on the earth, the rocks had
rotted and crumbled away and pro-
duoed what we now know as the soil
and snbsoiL The rain falling upon the
rocks sinks into the craoks and fissures,
and, freeaing thereiu, tears aud flakes
off small particles; those in turn, being
swept along by floods, are ground
against each other and gradually re
duced to powder. The oxygen of the
atmosphere also exerts a chemical effect
iu converting some of the minerals into
oxides. For instance, if you leavo a
bright, uew ax out exposod to the
weather you will soon uote a coating
upon it whioh you oall rust; that is
produoed by the action of the oxygen
of the air upon the iron of the ax, and
is really the oxide of iron. In this way,
then, by the uotiou of water iu freezing
and thawiug, iu grindiug and trans
porting the broken fragments of the
rock and by the action of the air in ox
idizing the minerals going on for many
thousands and thousands of years, pos
sibly millions of years, tho rooks have
beeu gradually converted into what we
now know as tho soil and subsoil
The subsoil may extend down only a
few feet, or it may extend for many feet,
bnt when you get to the bottom of it
you will strike the rook, usually the
same kind of rook from whioh the soil
wub originally derived. Boils may be
divided into these general classes—
sandy, clayey, limy and peaty, accord
ing to whether their principal ingre-
dieuts consist of sand, clay, carbonate
of lime or vegetable mattor. A soil
which contains over 70 per cent of sand
is called sandy. Such soils usually con
tain bur. little plant food. They are ill-
adapted to withstand a drought, us the
sandy particles absorb and retain but
little moisture and the crops would
soon burn up iu a long dry season; but
when the rainfall is abundant nr irri
gation is at baud these soils are desira
ble. because they dry oqt quickly, per
mit tho easy cultivation of tho crops
and rospoud quickly to lilieral fertiliza
tion. They are especially adapted to
quick growing crops.
A clay soil is one that contains over
60 por cout of clay, and is exactly the
reverse of the sandy soil. Water perco
lates through them very slowly aud iu
a very wot seasou the crops on them
suffer from the excess of moisture. They
are also more difficult to cultivate.
These lauds, however, are usually rich
er iu plant food. They are well adapt
ed to the grains an d grasses. Limy
soils, lime soils, or oaloareous soils, are
those whioh contain ovor 20 per cent of
limo. The limo exists in these soils in
the form of carbonato of lime, aud is a
very valuable element of plant food. It
is itself absolutely essential to the plant
and it also aids iu breaking up mineral
combinations iu the soil, and so render
ing other elements of plant food avail
able which would otherwise romiau in
soluble and therefore inert.
Lime also aids materially in the
decay of organic or vegetable mat
ter in the soil; it also improves
the mechanical condition of the
soil; it is a great benefit in this way
both to sandy and clay soils. It causes
the very loose particles of tho sandy soil
to adhere more closely together, aim so
Improves its power of absorbing aud
holding water; it also improves the tex
ture of a clay soil by preventing the
particles from sticking or adhering so
closely together aud thus renders it
more porous and friable aud easy to
work, and also enables water to pass
through it more easily, in a measure
obviating the dangers of a wet seasou
on clay laud. The limy soils are adapt
ed to the grains aud grasses aud fruits.
Peaty soils consist of organic or vege
table matter iu a state of partial decom
position, with comparatively little min
eral matter. Such lauds are usually of
a deep black color and are very produc
tive.
The three kinds of soil just described
are the extremes of their kiud, and the
soils which are generally preferred by
farmers are mixtures of those, and are
known as loams; a soil which contain

80 per ceut of clay it is a loam, and
whoa it is composed of from 80 to 50
per cent of clay is a clay loaiu. An ideal
or perfect soil is hard to find in nature
coutaimug just the right proportion of
sand to keep it porous and warm aud
permeable to water; just the right
amount of clay to keep it cool aud to
obviate the water ruuumg quickly
through it like a sieve or evaporating
too rapidly from its surface; just the
right amount of humus or decayed vege
table matter to furnish nitrogen and to
hold just the proper quantity of moist

by farmers all over the world because it
