Plant Life Underground.

The Investigators connected with the United
States department of agriculture are constantly
making experiments along lines which promise
to aid in increasing the productiyeness OF the
soil, hut nothing recently undertaken has mole
interest for the general public than the studies
OF root systems, made at the Dakota experiment
station, under government supervision
1t has required root study, of the kind now
inaugurated TO discover why we shOuld plant as
we do, as well as why we should not do in the
future as we have done, For instance, the re-.
cent investigation OF corn roots, conducted by
Hays, King and others, under the government,
has reyOlutionizcd the methods OF cultyating
corn among intelligent farmers They haze
proved that TO grow corn most successfully it
must be planted more shallow than formerly,
and also that the ground must be pougheJ
deeper than ever.
Their reasons are very simple. They found By
experimenting with corn, potatoes, clover, peas
and different grains, That under conditions in
which the growing plants were exposed freely,
as in the field, they required an average 5a5
pounds OF water in one season 20 produce oae
pound of DRY matter. Four stalks OF corn as
they were coming into tasscl and their ears
were forming, used 1900 pounds Of water in
thirteen days,
Now they also found that any given area Of
soil almost anywhere did not possess one.
twentieth part Of the moisture required by m
average crop. They also found that 50 SOW WAS
the method by which all roots obtain water that
