A FALLACY ABOUT SOIL.
The Idea That It Soon Wears Out
Is Declared Not Scientific
or True.

The idea that soil soon wears out"
is not scientific or true Soil may be
exhausted so that it cannot grow good
crops OF grain, fruits and vegetables.
but this implies a regular practice of
taking from the soil some OF its plant
food elements each year, and of put
ting nothing back in the soil in the
form of manure, says Prof. ]. L.
Doren.
Where anything at all approaching
balance of taking from and giving
back is practiced, the soil is indie
structable. Where the taking and CIV
ing are just equal, the soil remains at
one level of productive capacity, no
matter how long it may be cropped.
Where the taking exceeds the giving,
no matter how slightly, the soil must
lose in productive capacity, and ex-
haustion is only question OF time.
Where the giving exceeds the taking,
however slightly, the soil grows rich
er and richer the longer it is cropped.
In some European countries, as Hol-
land, Belgium, Denmark, Germany and
England, land that has been cropped
for centuries is richer now than it was
hundreds of years ago. The farmers
have recognized the scientific necessity
of giving little more than they take.
At least they have not committed the
error of taking more than they give.
In China there are vast areas of
garden soil that have grown crops for
5000 to 5000 years, and support
swarming millions of people. These
lands, according to the reports OF
travellers, are surprisingly fertile after
thousands of years of service, and to-
day they are producing crops that are
simply amazing to farmers accustomed
to the take-all and give-nothing
methods that prevail in some coun-
tries
Farmers may draw freely upon their
soil so long as they return to it all
that part of it's produce which they do
not sell or consume with the addition
of some commercial fertilizer to as
sure the maintenance of the balance
of the plant-food elements in it. The
soil can hardly be worn out or de-
stroyed. The worst that even the
worst farming can do to it is to use
up it's available plant food. Even then
it still retains plant food elements,
and when those elements are made
available the soil will return to the
| work of production.
American farmers, like the farmers
| in all other new and wide countries,
started in to take without giving. Now
they are coming to the true idea OF
farming. 1t is high time to make a
general improvement in farming
methods, and the soil will promptly
respond to the coming changes in
practice.
