Useful Soil Germs.

An intimate relation exists between
the fertility of a soil and its bacter-
ial life. 1t is therefore important to
know the conditions of the soil which
are most favorable to the rapid deyel-
opment of soil bacteria, for upon
these will depend plant growth. Acid
soils are infertile because the sol
bacteria cannot grow in them. Lime,
when applied to land, assists in the
decomposition of organic matter in
the soil, but indirectly. Lime neu-
tralizes the acidity of the soil and
renders it more favorable to the de-
velOpment Of soil bacteria. which are
the true agents for the decomposition
Of organic matter. A very fertile soil
may be so water logged as to be al
most entirely unproductive. Why?
The excessive amount of water cuts
off to large extent the2suppIy of air
which Is required by the bacteria.
Muck beds are rich in nitrogen. and
often contain considerable phosphor-
Gus and potassium, but they will no.
produce good crops. Make them a ft
habitation for soil bacteria, that Is.
drain them and correct the acid con-
dition and they become heavily pro-
ductive. Acids in the soil may also
bring into solution minerals that have
poisonous effect upon crosp as for
example, compounds of iron and alu-
nina, The whole difficulty must be
met by overcoming the injurious eff
fects Of soil acids. But Nature has
provided a cheap neutralzer of acid
soils.
Lime in some Of its forms Is the
most economical. 1t exists In several
available forms; 1t may be had al
quicklime, hydrated lime, air-shaked
lime, and finely ground limestone
(the unburned rock, finely ground)
II is also contained in shells, mari
wood ashes, limekiln ashes, and Stag
phosphate, and occurs, in combina-
ton with other elements in phosphate
rock. A study OF the soil and pro-
per use OF lime In some OF its forms,
combined If necessary with adequats
drainage, can be relied upon to bring
about soil conc. ttion which will ia
yor the growth + bacteria friendly
to maximum crop production.
