Wheat Straw Is
of Real Value
Much of Our Farm Land Is
~ Deficient in Humus and
Fertility.
“The real value of wheat straw is
not what it is worth on the market or
for feeding live stock, but what it is
worth “in the forin “of fertility and
humus, when returned to the soil,”
says H. M. Bainer, director, South
western Wheat Improvement associ
ation, Continuing, he says, *Much of
our farm land is deficient in humus
and fertility, and every pound of
wheat straw or stubble that is burned
makes this condition worse, y .
Fertility Removed.
“Analysis of cultivated soils in the
Southwest indicate that as much as
one-third of the original nitrogen and
one-half of the original organic mat
ter has already been lost. Experi
mental data indicate that an average
wheat crop removes from each acre
of soil approximately 20 pounds of
nitrogen, 8 pounds of phosphoric acid,
and 10 pounds of potash. To replace
this fertility, in the form of a com
mercial fertilizer, would cost some
thing like $4.50 an acre. The fertil
ity represented in returning the straw
to the soil is probably worth $1 an
acre, but the greatest value will come
from the humus it will add.
Best Reasults With Straw.
“lor best results, each crop of
straw should be worked into the soil
right away, but if thi® cannot be done,
it should be rotted and returned to
the soil in the form of manure later.
The harvester-thresher has solved the
straw problem, and it has been fairly
well solved by the header. Bundle
straw should be stacked in feed lots,
where the feeding and tramping by
the stock will assist in converting it
into manure. Such straw as cannot
be handled through the feed lot or
the fields should be piled in out-of-the
way places, with lots of surface ex
posure, where it can remain until rot
ted and is ready to be hauled out as
manure.
“A soil that is deficient in humus is
also deficient in fertility., Humus
adds life to a soil, it prevents pud
dling, cracking, baking and blowing.
Humus improves the physical condi
tion of the soil, making it mellow,
friable and easier to cultivate. It
also assists in holding moisture, thus
helping to carry*crops through periods
of drought.”
Lignin Is an Unutilized
+ Farm Wagte of Big Value
' Whether or not you already know
what lignin is and what it is for, you
are likely to hear and learn more
about it within the next few years.
Lignin is a constituent of agricultural
wastes, such as corncobs, constalks,
and straw. It has been almost entire
ly wasted. Several years ago the
chemists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture undertook to
saulvage some of the value of these
by-products of the farms, and in thes
course of time evolved processes for
the manufacture of furfural which is
now being used for many purposes.
The government discontinued the fur
fural experiments when commercial
interests took over the work.
Lignin makes up from 20 to 30 per
cenp of the dry material of these
wastes, The chemists have succeeded
in econverting lignin into varnishes,
dyestufls, and various aromatic chem
feals that give promise of finding their
places in the commercial chemical
field. “Lignin,” says Doctor Browne,
ussistant ‘chief of chemistry and soils,
“may be called the greatest of all un
utilized agricultural wastes,” and he
continues with the significant state
ment that “it occupies with respect
to Industrial possibilities the position
held by coal tar a century ago.”
