What Our sell Needs.


At a recent meeting OF fruit grow
ers in Tacoma, Secretary Tonneson
read the following paper on the sub
ject which is now interesting many OF
our growers, who are studying their
soils:
Potash, phosphoric acid and nitro
gen are three principal elements con-
stantly being taken from the soil by
plant growth. There are many indi-
cations that both trees and plants OBJ
tain sufficient nitrogen, and that only
in very rare cases is it necessary to
apply any heterogeneous fertilizers.
Such plants as cabbage, turnips and
onions are improved by the applica-
ton of nitrogen in some form, but as
for fruit trees, when limbs make from
six inches to one foot OF growth each
season, that element is sufficiently
supplied.
"Clay soils contain more or less
potash and phosphoric acid which are
not in available forms for, the use of
plant life. It is therefore necessary
that these and other unavailable plant
food are made available. To accom-
plish this, freshly slaked lime is one OF
the best agencies. Prof. Elton Full
mer has demonstrated by Analysing
numerous samples of the soil from
the western part of the state that this
entire western slope is greatly def
cient in lime.
"Prof. Hilgard. of the station at
Berkeley, California, says that the
lime percentage in soils should not
fall below OIL per cent in light soils,
and in heavy clay soils not below OPS
per cent, and it may advantageously
rise to l and even 2 per cent. as a
maximum.
"Quick or burnt lime is said to ex-
ert q three-fold influence as ferti-
lizer. It is direct source of plant
food; it unlocks and renders availa-
BILE the stores of inert food both min
eral and organic contained in the soil
and it ameliorates the. texture OF
clays. All crops require a certain
amount of lime in order to carry on
and perfect their growth. A soil de-
fiicient in this mineral substance can
not he very productive until the de-
ficiency is made good. 1t is mainly
for the purpose of dlgesting and pre-
pairing general plant food that lime
is so much needed on soils in this
section. It is also said TO economic
the use of potash. It destroys insects
and checks the growth of moss and
weeds.
"If compost from stables or potash
is applied an after top dressing of lime
will greatly add to their values in this
part of the state. The quantity OF
lime applied may, with great benefit,
be at the rate of not less than one ton
per acre. 1t can be taken to the
field, or plot Of ground, and placed in
heaps of from 25 to so pounds each,
these should be slightly covered until
slaked, afterwards scattered over the
surface"
