Humus In the Orchard.

II Is an important point In farming
20 preserve the humns In the soil
where there is humus and to supply It
where there II no humus. Humus has
value distinctive from that Of .le
fertility 1t contains. II holds moisture
In the soil AMI also holds some forms
OF fertility. To Increase II In the or
chard u good way is to grow lcgumes
OF some sort and pillow them. under mt
stated seasons. Not only does the cul-
tivator thus Increase the humus In the
soil. but the nitrogen Is increased as
II has been caught from the air by
these plants. Some follow the prac-
tice OF not blowing or spading under
tho green crop. but OF moving and
leaving II on the ground. But to our
mind this Is very Inferior way Of get
ting the good OF the decaying humus.
The air must In that case rob the crop
mown OF part of Its fertility. espe-
cialiy the volatile portions. Moreover
the roots In the ground cannot get
hold OF this dccayins vegetation. and
we see little chance OF their benefit
tin. by It. We believe that by all
means the crop should be turned I'M
der in some way. Ths soil will then
grow more perfect In mechanical
structure from year to year and the
roots will always be able to get Into
touch with the humus and the fertility
and moisture contained In II.
