Sandy Soil.

Sandy soil Is very easy to work, and
when the humus is abundant the pro-
ductiveness is not below that of other
soils. Many sandy soils carry good
percentage of clay. though that does
not appear to the ordinary observ-
er. a soil that has no clay is not soil
but sand Such is not suitable for
agricultural operations till 1t has been
modified by the application of clay,
There are many localities where a
slight increase OF the clay content of
the sand soil would greatly increase
its capacity. The clay makes the
sandy soil retentive Of moisture and
also enables 1t to hold the soluble
plant food so necessary to the growth
OF plants.
