EFFECT OF TILLACE ON FERTILITY
AND TEXTURE OF SOILS
By J. A. 4umnneI. Assistant Chemist Minnesota College
Of Agriculture

Good texture in > soil is an ex.
tremely valuable asset BY a soil Of
good texture we mean one that Is
finely divided and at the same time
mellow and friable A soil possessing
these qualities win produce better
crops than another containing the
same amount OF plant food. but which
is hard and lumpy. In soil Of good
texture plants find conditions most
favorable to their growth. because
such a soil retains moisture; is better
ventilated; has less variation in tenn
perature; nitrihcation is FASTENED be-
cause Of better ventilation; more
plant food from the minerals is rem
deFed available; the plant roots pene-
trate deeper, and therefore have a
better hold and there is more surface
on which hey can feed.
In Bulletin No. 119 Of the Cornell
experiment station we find the follow
ing statement: Every good farmer
knows that a hard and lumpy soil will
not grow good crops no matter how
much plant food It may contain. A
clay soil which has been producing
good crops for any number Of years
may be SO seriously injured by one
injudiclous pI0wing in a wet time as
to ruin 1t for the growing Of crops
for two or three years. The injury
lies In the modification Of ifs physical
texture. not IN the lessening Of its
plant food. A sandy soil may also be
seriously impaired for the growing
Of any crop II the humus or decaying
organic matter Is allowed TO burn out
on It II then becomes leachy, II
quickly loses Its moisture and It be-
comes excessively hot in bright, sEany
weather Similar remarks may be ap.
piled to all soils. That Is. the texture
or physical condition Of the soil Is
nearly always more important than
its mere richness IN plant food"
The first step in the enrichment Of
non.pToductiTe land Is I'd improve its
physical condition BY means Of careful
and thorough tillage. by the addition
Of humus, and perhaps by under drain
age. II must first be put in such con
dItion that plants can grow in It
After that the addition Of chemical
fertilizers may pay by giving add
tional redundant growth.
Tillage Is one OF tho most important
agencies for producing good texture
The stirring Of the soil as in cultiva
ticn destroys the forces which are al
work In the soil TO draw and hold
the particles Of soil together IN com
pact mass. and the soil Is made fine
thus extending the feeding area OF the
roots. and enabling the air to enter
the soil and move freely about IN It.
Flowing Is one Of the most efficient
means Of puIverizing the soil. The
moEdboard OF plow is 50 shaped that
the furrow slice is not merely inrert
va, but Il Is ground and broken and
left In a nearly perpendicular posi-
tion. Heavy clay soils should not be

plowed when they are so vet that
they win puddle. When wet clay Is
worked, as in plowing. the conditions
are such that the fine particles slide
over each other easily. and are drawn
closer together. air is forced out, and
the soil in drying forms large com
pact masses which ara broken up with
exceeding difficulty. A clay soil II
properly handled and not plowed
when too wet is usually very produc.
tive. but II plowed when too wet Il
may be rendered unproductive for
several years.
The harrow and the shallow eNS
vator are valuable implements for ID
proving the texture OF the soil. They
are especially valuable when used al
soon after rain as possible without
pudding the soil. When 50 used they
prevent the soil from dying into large
hard masses. let air into the soil and
conserve moisture.
Soil made up Of very fine grains as
clay soil not well under-drained
and firmly compacted Is unproductlye
because plant roots penetrate 1t with
difficulty. and even when they do, q
lack Of air In the soil prevents all
growth. Such soil has exceedingly
small spaces between the particles and
these spaces are filled with water In
q wet season, completely excluding
air.
When clay soil is properly titled
the fine particles do not form com
pact masses, but compound grains are
formed by the cementing together Of
number Of the particles. The ex
istence Of the compound grains Of sol
makes the soil porous, the spaces be
tween are filled witk air and the roots
can penetrate easily. The continued
stirring or cultivation Of the soil and
numerous heavy rains tend to breaA
up these compound soil grains and the
fine PARTICLES run together, filing III
the larger spaces. In such cases rota
ton Of crops which includes frequent
seeding down to grass and ALLOWING
the land to remain as hay or pasture
land viii prove beneficial. This /.
natures method for keeping the sol
In good texture. The grass prevents
the pudding Of the soil BY heav,
rains and the roots BY their growth
and decay make the soil loose ant
porous. Air enters the soil and assists
IN diss0lYlng lime or other materials
which cement the fine particles to
sether into compound grains, and thu
the open mellow texture SO much de
sired Is secured.
The application Of lime on heav.
clay soil Is beneficial, because llm'
serves to cement the particles togethe
into compound grains, making the sol
more friable and easily titled.
Fall blowing OF clay soils is usual,
beneficial because the exposure t,
winter freezing forces the clay parti
cles apart and this makes the sol
more open and crumbly.
