President Taft Mr.. Whitney said he
reJolced that ne was one of that great
congreg cation of 10000 or more who listened
to the sermon of the President to the
people of Utah-Mormon, Jew and Cen
tile. He said he was glad to see the day
when the President of the United States
could come to Utah and be a guest of
the whole people-to be a friend OF the
whole people. Il believe President Taft
is the right man in the right place. and
he has more power and more wisdom
than any other man" said Mr.. Whitney.
He has the right to this power, because
he has the prayers of the 1900 600 people
behind him, or such a part as do pray"
He said the people of the United States
stood behind President Taft-DemOcrats,
Republicans and Soeialists-and with the
people supporting him with their sym
pathy and prayers, he could not help be-
ing the wisest man in civic affairs.
Mr.. Whitney quoted the words of the
President in his so-calied sermon, when he
took for his text "A soft answer turneth
away wrath. but harsh words stir up
anger" reading from the Presidents
speech.
I'm not going to waste time in specu-
lating as to just how much the President
meant for Mormons and how much he
meant for Gentiles," said Mr. Whitney
Il do know that he meant me, though for
he was looking right at me when he said
it, and he was looking right at you, too.
President Taft meant those statements
for everyone in that great audience, and,
what's more, he meant them for a great

The Bureau Investigations have
shown that the organic matter OF the
soil is exceedingly complex and very
little understood, either from chem
ical or physiological point of view, es-
pecially in regard to it's direct inf1u-
ence on plant growth, either as a pro-
noting or as a hindering agent. In
the past it has been valued chiefly as
a means of improving the physical
condition of the soil and as source
of available nitrogen. The Bureau,
however, has shown that this organic
matter of the soil has distinct bear
ing upon the question of crop growth,
because of the presence of harmful
organic constituents in some soils and
beneficial ones in others, and that these
are influenced in their action upon
plant growth by the presence Of fer
tilizers in soils.
Origin of Organic Matter in Soils.
The organic matter of soils origi-
mates from plant debris, fragments of
roots, leaves, bark, stems, ETC., which
on the death of the plants are returned
to the soil. In addition to this there
is a strong indication of the presence
of organic matter introduced into the
soil by the living plants, either as di-

All of these factors are, then, at
work in changing the plant debris
or excreta to other forms, and accord
ing to the condition which prevails
the process of decomposition of these
materials are shown to be different
That is, the same plant debris, or the
same plant excreta, through the action
of these different agencies, produce an
entirely different result, producing in
one case a soil rich in the dark-colored
bodies, which are usually called "hu-
mus bodies," and in other cases light
colored bodies, which are entirely diff
ferent in chemical properties and in
some cases also in the physiological
effect on plant growth. All Of these
various factors, then, which enter in
to the changes which the organic mat
ter of the soil must undergo are being
studied, and it has been shown that
fertilizer salts have a very marked
influence upon these actions, stimulat-
ing the oxidation which is produced in
the soil by oxidation, whether by
roots, by soil bacteria, or by engines,
or even by direct chemical oxidation
by the air.

methods such as tillage in producing

In speaking of the work of the Bu-
reau of Soils in his annual report,
Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture, says of Humus:
An important and perennial subject
of soil investigation is the organic mat
ter in the soil known as 'humus." In
vestigations of the physical and chem
ical properties of this substance have
been continued during the year. 1t
is a complex mixture, differing mark
edly in properties in different soils.

investigators contenting themselves
with determining the amount of or
ganic matter present and the total nj
trogen available in this organic matter.
The researches of the Bureau therefore
throw a great deal of light on the
functions of organic matter in the
soil. During the past year the Bureau
has studied further this organic mat
ter, with a view to determining it's
relation to the changes which are go
ing on in every SOIL

rect excreta or thrown off by some Of
the outer cells of their roots so that
there is a direct relationship between
the living plant and the soil in this
manner. This plant debris and plant
excreta is then changed and altered
by the process of decay which may be
induced by the action of soil bacteria,
soil molds, etc., and also by chemical
oxidation, by the oxygen of the air to
root oxidation performed by the living
roots or the engine secreted by them
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-04-01

The influence of bacteria on soil
organic matter is another subject
which demands further study, as the
results SO far obtained have shown
that this action may be either direct
or indirect, direct action resulting in
the production of beneficial, harmful,
or inactive organic compounds so far
as crops are concerned, depending up
on the conditions and the kind of bac-
terra at work. Bacteria also have an
indirect effect, producing such prod
ucts as ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates,
and these affect the organic COM
pounds of the soils. Still other fac
tors Of biochemical nature must be
taken into consideration. Expert
ments indicate very strong influence
of molds in the production of some of
the bodies already isolated from the
soil.

THE ONE THING MOST NEEDFUL FOR THE SOIL

the proper changes in the organic ma
terials has also been studied, and it
has been shown that any alterations
which produce increased aeration of
the soil also tends to produce destruc-
tion of bodies harmful to plant growth,
changing them to compounds that are
harmless or even beneficial to crops,
increasing the growth of crops.

are found in an individual soil or a
few soils as a result of special con-
ditions. Frequently these appear to
have a profound and direct effect on
plant growth.
Fertilizers give in different seasons
and in different years results which
are not consistent but more or less
erratic. The use of commercial fertil-
izers is constantly on the increase and
conservative estimates place the ex-
penditure at more than $1OO,OOO,OOO
annually. Experience has shown that
the action of fertilizers and soil
amendments in general is not wholly
explainable on the plant-food basis,
and we must look to other factors for
explanation of their full efficiency.
One of the most interesting results of
this work has been to show that fer
tilizers have properties of improving
soil Conditions in addition to the plant
food which they supply, and that in
some cases this action may be of even
greater importance as far as practical
results are concerned than the plant
food added.

cations of soils the organic matter has
not been adequately considered, the
