stations. through the bulletins, are tell
ing us all about these things, and we
should carefully study them.
Keeping the soiI Covered with
Vegetation.
We are rapidly learning the impor-
tant lesson that the best way to con-
serve soil fertility is to use it by con-
stantly cropping the land, instead of
allowing it to leech away through the
of gases in the atmosphere. Prof.
Voorhees,, in his work on fertilizers,
calls attention to the fact that in
season of average rainfall the drainage
waters carry away from one acre from
uncropped soils that are only fairly
rich in plant food as much as thirty
seven pounds of nitrogen per year,
while when continually cropped the
drainage waters from the same soils
contain practically no nitrogen. This
is an important matter because such
an amount of nitrogen is equivalent to
that contained in two tons of timothy
hay or in one ton of any 'of our &C.
reals. In the second place Prof. Voor-
hees calls attention to the fact that
the nitrogen lost in this way is in the
best form for feeding the plant, so
that its loss leaves the soil not only
poorer in these constituents, but poor
err in the sense that the remainder of
it in the soil is in a less useful form.
While a comparatively small area of
our lands is left bare during an entire
season, yet many of our crops mature
in 100 days or whereabouts, and when
these are removed the soil in many
cases is bare of vegetation during the
remainder of the growing season. 1t
may be argued that there is not suff1-
cient time after the removal Of a ce-
real crop to grow another. and that
there is therefore, no means of escape
from this annual drain upon the soil.
TO this we would reply, that it will be
necessary to give more attention to
the growing of such crops as clover
and rape along with our cereals in the
future than has been the case in the
past. If these crops can be used for
pasture we'll and good, but if not it
will usually pay to grow them, for the
reason that they present losses of fer
tility that would otherwise take place.
This fertility is embodied in the It's
sues of these plants, and is, therefore,
available either for animal food or as
a food for plants when they are plow-
ed under. Some of the best farmers of
our acquaintance make it a practice
always to have their stubble fields COW
cred with some form of vegetation be-
tween the time of harvesting cereal
crops and the end of the growing sea-
son.
