manures In the Soil.

In plant growth there are mechanical
manipulations as well us chemical. The
mechanical conditions pertain largely
70 the soil, its supply of plant food and
moisture. correspondent OF Rural
World says the active agents in pro-
ducing growth are nitrogen, oxygen,
hydrogen tair and water), phosphoric
acid, potash and sunshine. Few plants
grow we'll in the shade. A most valu-
able agent is humus-the straw-maker.
me great strawstacks OF our country
are mainly humus; ditto haystacks
and cornstalks. These are the gross
products of annual plant growth. What
remains of rotted down straw pile or
Its ashes is humus. This element must
exist In the soil or be supplied II plant
growth is to be produced. The nechan-
ical action of humus in the coil Is ia

For this reason straw mulch is good
on all sandy soils--on all soils where
drouth is usual. Sandy soils can use
probably vast total of straw, II 1t Is

leaves lying upon the surface, server
TO maintain the needed supply of moist
ure and does much toward stimulating
plant growth. The large growth of
plants or grass, reeds, canes or weeds
on alluyial soil is due as much to the
abundant presence of humus as to wa
ter. Low grounds get not only the hui
mus they produce annually, but much
OF that washed from lplands. 1t is
very important that lands be so plowed
as to prevent washing, as 1t is the most
valuable particles which the water car
ries away. For this reason many slopes
near streams should rarely, IL ever, be
plowed. The frozen lands of the north
are much less subject to loss from the
action of winter rains than those far
ther south. When the plant has formed
the necessary elements to it's growth,
and has approached the season for seed
production, it requires lime, saline mat
ter and the grasses above named to
perfect, stiffen and enable 1t to com
plete the work OF reproduction. II
these are lacking in the soil, the plant
will be a failure-will be barren, seed
less Every farmer boy should under
stand these underlying principles Of
plant growth. They exist in every
plants life, as in every animals, and
must be supplied to the plant where it
stands, as it cannot make a journey
daily to the springs for water or to the
marsh for humus.
