why Free Circulation Of Air In the
Soil II Important.
BY Nv. J. STILLMAN.

BY w. j. STlLLMAN.
A proper circulation Of air In the
soil Is just ais Important as any other
factor OF plant growth. Nearly half OF
the volume Of ordinary soils is occupied
By air spaces. The air spaces in the
soil wind In ana out between the soil
particles, just as they do in a pile OF
larger stones. IL the layer of water
on the surface of the soil grains be-
comes 30 thick as to stop the air pas
sages here and there the soil is then
too wet for most crops and needs drain
age. Plants have no special breathing
organs, the oxygen required III their
breathing finding entrance all over the
surface OF the plant Plant roots must
therefore be supplied with air, and
hence the soil must be porous enough
TO permit Of free circulation of air. A
good supply of humus and proper till
age will accomplish this result in clay
soils. Sandy soils are usually too por-
Gus. needing humus to help them re-
tain water.
Oxygen Needed In the Soil.
<Aloiuer reason WHY ar must cifcu-
late freely in the soil is that large
quantities of oxygen are required to
insure proper decay Of organic matter
10 supply plant food: also carbonic
acid gas is produced by the decay Of
organic matter, and this must escape
easily to make room for the atmospher-
ic oxygen needed in the soil. The
movement of air in the soil Is frequent
ly shown by the bubbles which appear
at the surface of the soil just after a
hard rain. As the water soaks into the
soil 1T drives the air out, and bubbles
may be seen at the surface II water
enough is present TO form them
One OF the most important objects of
blowing is TO loosen up the soil and
mix fresh air with it,
