lime to correct any acidity of soil that may
be occasioned by green manures.
3. Rotate crops By rotation much stubble and
roots and weeds are turned under. All of
these contribute to the humus content of the
soil.
An Experiment Station of Your Own.
Every soil worker should be an experimenter.
This Is the surest practical way to get acquainted
with the soils, and thus to determine what plant
food is present or absent. The following plan
presents simple method of ascertaining which
OF the three elements of plant food is needed In
soils. 1t can be employed for every crop and on
any farm.
Lay off five plats of equal size in any field.
Plant each to the same CROP and use exactly the
same quantity of seed. Prepare each plat alike,
and till with the same tools and the same number
of times and under the same conditions. To the
first apply fertilizer; to the second apply all
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-06-27
Nitrogen.

three elements: to the third apply nitrogen only;
to the fourth apply phosphorus only; to the fifth
apply potassium only. The results will show
whether chemicals will pay on the land and also
what elements are needed.
Why We Cultivate.
1. To kill weeds Weeds take water and plant
food from the soil. Both are needed for the
growing of cultivated crops.
2. To conserve moisture. The summer grow
ing crops need plenty of moisture. Cultivating
acts as mulch and lessons the amount evaporated
into the air.
3. Tillage also brings about aerating of the
soil. By it compounds are made to give up plant
food held by them.
Finally.
l. Till well and intensively.
g. Cultivate frequently and shallow.
g. Grow legumes often and regularly.
f. Rotate CROPS to suit important and leading
money crops.
s. Market hay and roughage crops through
livestock
g. Add all vegetable matter possible and in
every form.
T. Use lime if land is sour.
g. Use chemicals when needed and principally
potassium and phosphorus in connection with
leguminous crops.
g. Grow winter and clover crops to prevent
teaching and washing of lands
TO- Grow such crops are best suited to your
soil and market.
H. Study and experiment with your soil. It
will meet you half way.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.

Men of sense esteem wealth to be the assimila-
ton of nature to themselves the converting of the
SAP and juices of the plant to the incarnation and
nutriment of their design. Power is what they
want-not candy-power to execute their design,
power to give legs and feet, form and actuality
to their thought, which to clear sighted man ap-
pears the end for which the universe exists.-From
Emersons Essay on "Wealth."
The progressive farmer and the cotton plant., 1905-06-27
THE PROBLEM OF SOIL CULTURE.

=.
Recently in The Progressive Farmer we discuss
ed the character of the SOIL the necessity of proper
tIlage. the function of fertilizers, etc. In the
concluding section the value of legumes was taken
ND and their great value in nitrogen gathering
emphasized. Potassium and phosphorus, the two
other elements usually deficient in the soils, must
be supplied through chemicals. since they
minerals and cannot be drawn from the air. AS
yet the widest chemical or plant speculator has
never dared hope to find family of plants that
will be able to make mineral matter for other
plants
The Open Secret.
The nearest approach to any such magical dis
covery is an open secret available to all. No
trained genius is needed to do the work; costly
apparatus is demanded Simply plow and cul-
tivator to unlock the hidden treasures and to
change clay and rock and compounds into availa-
bic plant food. Of course if potassium and phos-
phorus are deficient in the soil, they must be
added artifcially; but they cost little in compar
ison with nitrogen.
This economical and practical method of soil
Improvement ought to be steadily followed. The
grain farmer the cotton farmer. the hay farmer,
the market gardener-in fact, every business man
who has to do with soil culture can rapidly bring
up his land and keep it fertile by thus feeding
the soil. Recently I saw number of flower beds
and forcing beds utilizing the cow pea nj
trogen crop for the crops that are to come on
during the fall and winter months.
Advantages of Crop Rotation.
And now We come to another important phase
OF soil management: viz, the rotation of crops.
Ihls practice is not necessary for all kinds of soil
nor for all lines of work in agriculture The
truck farmer and the florist, and even others, may
prefer single crops though great quantities
OF plant food must be bought The value of their
products is such that they can afford to do this.
lhe hay farmer often prefers single crop sys-
'eln to change of crops, but to keep his grass
.nrl1ty, much top dressing is necessary. Pasture
lands too where permanency is the rule, must Of
Ten wait long years before the can find rest from
change.
these are exceptions, however The majority
u our people raise more than single line of pro-
uuc'S; dlversifcation is the rule.
NATURES Own Method.

The newspapers, the professional politicians

PROGRESSIVE FARMER AND COTTON PLANT.

it year after year. The humus is burned OUT the
soil hardens and deadens, the elements of plant
food especially needed for these special crops be-
come scant. The soil loses its productive power
These troubles could be corrected to great ex-
tent by change in the crops.
The best rotation demands not only a change
In crops, but also change in the feeding habits
of the crop For instance, plants that are shallow
feeders should follow those whose roots penetrate
its ground deeply. Corn, a shallow penetrator,
should follow clover, deep grower. AS the clover
roots strike deeply, the tightly bound sub-soil is
opened, moisture goes down, air enters, and roots
decay-all contribute to the making and the re-
leasing Of plant food from the compounds that
hold it.
Varying Needs of Plants.
Then again plants vary as to TASTE Some, like
potatoes. fancy potassium in abundance. Corn
does best when the soil has abundance of nj
trogen, and all grain crops must have some phos-
phorus and potash to make well filed heads.
Crop rotation permits each of these to find it's
favorite dish. Glover, for instance, gets it's nj
trogen from the air, and also draws up from the
subsol mineral elements, and even gets out of the
way before summer crop comes on. Suppose
then follow clover by corn. Nitrogen which
soil by the clover. The clover stubble and roots
that plowed under furnish decaying vegetable
matter for further feeding; the soil is made loose
and mellow and hence moisture is held in greater
abundance, so the plant suffers less severely
should dry hot summer come on. After corn
can come crop like wheat or rye or crimson
clover to make crop to prevent the wash
ing of land, and the teaching of valuable plant
food during the winters rain and snow.
Rotation and Stability.
One crops following another also enables the
farmer to better employ his labor, his tools and
his teams; it checks the spread and ravages of in
sects and diseases. A single crop may fail or be
low in price, but of several crops more is
likely to be in greater demand or higher in price.
And We come to humus So many of
soils need it. There is little hope of making them
highly productive, until humus is put into them
again. The growing of cultivated crops like corn
cotton deteriorates the soil, not only because
plant food is taken out or washed away, and the
physical condition of the soil injured. but also
because the vegetable matter is used up. All
kinds of stubble and weeds, clover roots, stable
manure, Green manure needed to supply the
exhausted vegetable matter, and bring the soils
back to the productive condition that they
in before the plant food and humus we're drawn
out.
If then, land is to be made rich and kept rich,
the tiller must keep these things in mind:
I. AS to Tillage.
1. He must Glow deep. This is not true of all
soils; but old, dead, hard clay lands or loans
will be improved greatly in texture, in water
holding capacity, and in feeding for
