Green Manuring.
American AgriculturiSt.

BY the term green manurlng is meant
the practice of growing and blowing un-
der crops in the green state to enrich the
soil. A soil is said to be productive in
proportion to the amount of humus it
contains Humus is formed by the
decomposition of animal and vegetable
matter. If heavy growth of Vegetation,
grain, clover or weSds is plowed under a
certain amount of plant food is returned
to the soil. 1t would be very natural to
suppose that the decayed stem of one plant
would contain good, acceptable food for
another. If blowing under has been done
on clay soil six months afterward by
digging down through the furrow dark
stratum will be found where the weeds
fell and rotted. Repeated blowing under
of green crops will fill the ground with
humus and restore the worst worn land to
fertility.
The objection to this method of fertil-
izing is the length of time required, as
several years must elapse before many
crops could be added to the soil. 1t is
very important then, to the rotation that
will admit to the greatest number of crops
in the shortest time. Some plants add
more fertility to the soil than others, but
these are not the ones that are always
easiest grown, especially on poor ground,
and it is very important to get a good
growth to plow under. Rye will grow
where no other grain will and yield good
crop. Another advantage Is its growth
in winter. In the latitude of southern
Illinois rye may be sown in November
and plowed under when fully headed out
in May and the ground sowed Immediate
ly with southern COW peas and plowded
under in July or August. Another sowing
of peas will make partial crop by the
first frost, when it can be turned under
and the ground again seeded to rye.
This makes three crops plowed under in
one year.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1886-06-24

all of which are soluble. Superphosphate,
which contains free phosphoric acid, is
soluble, but this soIubility is partially ar
rested by the reversion of the free phos-
phoric acid after it reaches the soil, but
pure ground bone only gives off its parti-
cles as it is decomposed.
To prevent loss of fertilizing material
the application should be made in a
manner SO as to present them for dissolu-
ton IN accordance with the texture of
the soil and the requirements of the
plants. Ground bone on clay soils, may
be applied in full quantity at one opera
ton, but on light, sandy soil the result
should be reduced, and the bone applied
more frequently. On light sandy soils
all kinds of soluble fertilizers do best
when they are applied at intervals. If
the desire is to apply mixed fertilizer
of 800 pounds per acre, better results
will be obtained if 40 pounds are ap-
pliee early in the spring and $50 pounds
just before the seed is formed, and If the
soil is very sandy the 800 pounds may be
divided into three parts, and applied at
three different times, and the consequence
will be a larger crop and more benefit
from the fertilizer than when the whole
amount is applied at one operation.
Labor is but small item in the appi-
cation of artificial fertilizers, as the
amounts used are small and they are ap-
piled broadcast, while the frequent use
keeps the plant food always near the sur
face and always ready for the coming
rain, which dissolves it and gives the
crop an abundant supply of food.
