The vegetable kingdom is made up
almost entirely of the four clements
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen
How does the plant obtain them i?
Plant-food, to be available, must be in
a liquid or gaseous form, not solid !;
hence no food can be obtained from the
soil unless through the agency of some
other element. Carbon is derived from
the carbonic acid of the atmosphere,
principally through the leaves, which de-
compose the carbonic acid, appropria-
ting the carbon to the building up and
nourishment of the plant, and setting
free the oxygen for the respiration of
animals. The carbon, slight proper
ton of which is carried into the soil by
rains. ETC., and taken up by the roots of
the plant, is valuable chiefly as an alb
sorbent of nitrogen, the importance of
which to vegetable life is we'll known.
In the compound of ammonia the nitro
gen is absored and held by the carbon
of the soil-hence by turning under
green crops we gain not only the plant
food added to the soil-averaging about
nineteen times the amount taken away
but by incorporating carbon in the soil
we provide way to retain the volatile
ammonia for the future use of the
plant.
The plant does not derive all it's
food, or even the greater part of it, from
the soil, which is demonstrated by
propositions so nearly self-evident as
nearly to meet the appellation of
axioms. The soil is mineral, for it is
produced by the disintegration of
rocks. Now, if the plant derived all its
food from the soil it would be mineral
and nothing else. There would be no
difference between the vegetable and
mineral kingdoms. But instead of this,
the vegetable kingdom takes it's carbon,
hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen from
the air, and only q modicum of silicon,
aluminium, phosphorus and other min
erals from the soil, and the result is the
vegetable plant.
Another advantage of turning under
green crops, and one that is very often
overlooked, is that it improves the me-
chanical texture of the soil. This is
accomplished in two ways: First, the
roots penetrate to considerable depth.
cleaving the soil, and not only in this
way breaking it up and pulverizing it,
but on their decay furnishing small out
lets for any superabundance of water,
thus securing drainage. Secondly, by
incorporating the tops in the soil to
make it more loose and friable.
