Sandy Soils and How tn Improve Them.
AS a general rule vory sandy soils,
that is soils containing above seventy
five per cent. of sand, are unfit for
cultivation in any standard crop e1-
cept early garden vegetables, berries
and stone fruits. Sandy loans con
tanning from sixty per cent. to seventy
five per cent. sand will grow rye, all
legumines, most vegetables, grapes
and many varieties of apples aud
oriental pears. Soils containing less
than sixty per cent. sand, If not too
dry and having at least two-tenths Of
one per cent. lime make good cereals,
especially corn end oats.
Soils containing as high as ninety
per cent. pure sand may yield more
profitable returns than heavier and
better soils. provided they are prop
erly cultivated. Such soils are suit
able only for early spring vegetables.
which command a price out OF all
proportion to their nutritive value,
merely because they are very early.
But unless such soils are inteliigently
managed, they are more likely to en-
tail loss than profit. All very light
soils require previous amelioration
before being planted for market crops.
The first requirement IS the storage
in the soil of a large supply of vege-
table matter. This is best effected by
turning under a green crop. Blue OF
yellow luplnes or rye are the best
crops to use for this purpose. Lime
should be added next, the more the
better, up to ten tons per acre. The
addition OF vegetable matter and lime
will change the color of the soil from
light yellow to chocolate or even black.
The physical texture will be changed
and improved in the same ratio. The
sol! has become less porous and more
retentive. It is 10 iii condition tc
receive large doses of fertilizer anC
produce something to sell. II rye has
been turned under, it should be fol
lowed by a leguminous crop, such a.
peas. beans. sand vetch, crimso,
clover, or COW pea. This crop should
receive 2 generous application Of pot
ash. preferably in the form Of kaini
or muriate, aud phosphate II the form
of Surerphosphatc. Finally after tn
carly market crop is off, tie lant
should be planted IN some summe
legu:aine, preferably COW pea or 50,
pea or begear-ticE ldesmodium moliel
This should be turned under IN lat
fall or very early IN spring, so tina
the soil viii have time TO compact be
fore the market crop IS set. SUci
light soil should receive only sLalloy
cultivation.
The best fertilizer 10 use upon sucl
soil depends largely upon the crol
rrown. But phospho,ic acid and pot
ash should be literally used to endnr
a luxuriant growth Of leGumlnes to b
turned under. This Will at the sam
time supply the requirements OF tn
commercial crop. and III addition fur
