Washing Away OF Soils.

There is no way to prevent the
gradual washing away of soils as it is
the inevitable effect of storm water
on its way to the sea to carry with it
not only dissolved fertility, but sus-
pended humus and even some mineral
matter. This may, by proper drain
age measures and judicious cultita-
ton be reduced to a minimum, but
however slowly, the process goes on.
The wasted humus can be replaced by
growing crops for the purpose and
blowing them under, and avoiding the
successive growth of crops requiring
clean cultivation. The wasted phos-
phoric acid and potash can be re-
placed by the same means, though
the chief loss to the soil is in the
wasted nitrogen forming humus, and
most soils have enough of the other
two elements in slowly soluble con-
dition to last indefinitely. It may be
necessary to dress the land occasion
ally with lime or gypsom to promote
the availa bility of the otherwise inso-
luble combinations. But if the humus
is provided the most valuable element,
anti the most costly when it must be
bought, will be there when the plants
call for it. If there is ample lime
in the soil there will be no danger of
blowing under too much green crops,
or adding too much huinus in any
form. The acids of the humus act up
on the insoluble phosphates and po-
tassis compounds rendering them
available as plant food, and the lime
neutralizes the acids, which are harm
full to plant roots. BY judicious man
agement, all natural soil waste may
not only be overcome, but the soil
improved from year to- year.--Texas

PUT AWAY YOUR POVERTY.
