THE SOIL AND THE FERTILIZER.
We have an account of a farm
er who thought lie was fertilizing
for a good crop of wheat, but he
got only three and one-half
bushels to four bushels to the
acre. He was in utter darkness I
about the whole matter. He knew
neither the soil nor how to meet
the shortage.
This is an enlightening com
ment on the difficulty: “The soil
worked and fertilized at the rate
of about 200 pounds of complete
fertilizer per acre, was devoid of
humus, without which no soil will
be productive. If a soil is well
supplied with humus, it will not
be necessary to purchase nitrogen
in commercial fertilizer. So he
was paying for nitrogen at the
rate of 25 to 80 cents per pound,
when he should have been getting
it from the air through the grow
ing of leguminous crops. The
soil contained sufficient potash,
so he was paying for potash in
the fertilizer when it produced no
increased returns whatever, as
shown by field t"sts. The only
ingredient of a commercial ferti
lizer that he need to buy was
phosphoric acid to be used in
grow.ng 00 wpeas or some other
leguminous crop to tarnish hu
mus and nitrogen. He was pay
ing $25 a ton for a complete fert
ilizer and getting no returns,
when $lB a ton for high-grade
phosphate would have given large
returns had he used it in growing
iegmn infills crops.”
Make a note of it that “there
are ten elements that, are abso
lutely essential to plant growth.”
If any one of these is lacking, the
plant cannot use the others. If
any one is deficient, the plant is
not able to make a vigorous
grow th. Keep the principle thus j
operating well in mind when the
aim is to put the soil in the right j
shape for producing a crop. Give
the plant the food it needs, re
membering that it requires food
much as an animal does.—Home
