We often hear people speak OF vir-
gin soil as II that kind of a soil were
superior to any other. To the soil
robber II may be superior, because
his whole process of farming con-
klsts in taking out of the soil as
much of its fertility as possible and
then passing on to another lot of vir-
gin soil, says the Farmers Review.
But as a matter of fact much of the
virgin soil is very undesirable till It
has been worked for some years, in
which time the top soil will he turn
ed under and furnish the lower lay
ers OF soil with. some humuR. The
turning up of the soil let's the air
for the bacteria to begin work. The
work of the bacteria Is to change
mineral matter into form that can
be used by the plants. Some virgin
soil, such as the prairie soil, is al
ready in a high state of adaptability,
and this II is that has made the
prairie states such prizes for the men
that Knew nothing more about soils
than to take out of them all the
plant food they could get. A soil
that has been properly handled for
any number of years Is better than
virgin soil, for II has had the Wild
ness taken out of 1t by the pillow and
by cultivation, by the air and sun
light, and has had increased energy
put into II by the microscopic life
that has been given q chance to de-
velop under the best Of conditions.
