SYMPOSIUM OF SOIL FERTILITY
AND PERMANENT AGRICUL TURE

The following paper by DIR. Cyril q.
Hopkins was read before the North Da-
kota Library association, Fargo, N. D.,
Get /, by Prof. J. III. Shepperd:
The author is a South Dakota man,
and Is now professor Of agronomy in
the University Of Illinois Soil at first
thought seems sordid and uninteresting
in fact, 1t attracts us by it's production,
by the life and beauty which it sup
ports, rather than by it's innate feat
ures.
DR. Hopkins opens this book of $50
pages by simple explanations Of the
elemental compounds which constitute
soil Such an explanation seems tedi-
Gus but 1t is necessary-fo strange to
relate-two- thirds of the farmers of
the northwest would not comprehend
his discussion If he had not made these
Simple explanatory paragraphs in the
opening chapters. These explanations
are followed by a statement of the
nature of plant food and of plant
growth.
The first portion of the book is dis
cussed under the topical heading Sci
ence and Soil--the second, Systems of
Permanent Agriculture, the third, Soil
Investigation by Cultural Experiments,
fourth, Various Fertility Factors. The
composition and formation of the
earth's surface or crust Is given and
this is followed by the basis Of solid
classification.
All of the above is given in prepar-
alton for the discussion and it is well
that the author has done so for the
amateur and the average practical
farmer needs it as badly as the student
needs his lexicon in translating a for
eign language.
You may or may not know that soil
surveys, more or less complete, have
been made or are under way in every
state in the union where sample of
the soil and subsoil is Inspected on at
least each forty acres of land and the
soil areas are mapped.
The volume under discussion takes
up the classifications and designates in
map form all of the soil areas in the
United States. The author next goes
into a discussion and explanation OF
the difference between available plant
food and similar material which is not
available, If plant food is not soluble
the plant cannot take it up. If it is

sUREsT WAY TO SAFETY.

A good many people believe that the
conditions In even this land of the free
are threatening, says the Duluth News
Tribune. In some ways, they are.
1t seems to be fact that its finances
are now controlled by q comparative
few; possibly, by a little group of
men, who, however, cannot live longer,
on the average, than the rest OF US.
1t may be that our industries and
the major part of our natural re-
by the same few. It may be that
these same men own or control the
transportation system.
Granting all of this, the one excep-
ton from monopoly, a monopolistic
control, is sufficient for the free
dom and financial salvation of this Or
any other country. No land holding,
land downing people can be seriously
oppressed nor held in financial sub
lection.
Two-thirds OF the people of this
country now own no property; that is,
no real estate. There is the point of
vital weakness and not in the con-
troll OF the money supply, transporta-
ton, natural resources and industries
by Mr.. Morgan or Mr.. Rockefeller
and their associates, or by any one
else.
Nor is 1t their fault, nor can 1t be
their fault save In minor part, that
these two thirds own nothing but the
clothes on their backs and the beds
on which they sleep. In the main, 1T is
| their own fault. With three fourths
of the two thirds, IL is due to lack of
thrift, to thoughtlessness, national
extravaganza and the want of a
proper propaganda.

DIR. Hopkins is accused of being in
part responsible for the high cost Of
meats in this country. He worked
out two methods of cropping Illinois
land on q basis Of maintaining the
soil fertility. One plan is grain and
clover seed growing and the returning
of all the straw and clover hay-after
the seed is removed--to the land, thus
retaining the fertility Of the soil. Elk
cept for the purchase of some rock
phosphate which can be bought rather
cheaply. in the corn belt, this method
of cropping retains the soil fertility
without the addition of commercial fer
tilizers. The other plan of maintain
ance brought in livestock and by
that means retained the fertility.
He shows how erroneous conclusions
have frequently been drawn by exper-
liments. For example: Three hundred
years ago Van Helimont, a Flemish
ialchemist, planted willow tree five
| feet high in 200 pounds of soil. In
| five years the tree had gained 16l
pounds in weight and the soil had lost
but two ounces. He drew the con-
clusion that plants live on air and rain
water, not realizing that the tree would
be removing a large per acre amount
on the same basis and that the soil
supplied very necessary ingredients to
It.
Taking Nitrogen from the Air.
| Among the recent discoveries is that
of the taking up OF nitrogen from the
air by the leguminous plants-well pre-
scented by clover and the garden pea.
I remember we'll that this was an
nounced when was a student in coll
| lege and that after spending three
months in study of agricultural chem
istry, our teacher-an excitable Irish
man-came into class one morning and
said Boys, it is all bowled over
Hellreigle has discovered that legumin
Gus plants take their nitrogen from
the air direct" We had spent the
greater part of the term in a study of
nitrogen supply and conservation be-
cause it was the expensive element to
buy-twice as costly as either of the
other two. Hellreigel had discovered
that clover plants and little bacterium
had formed a -partnership-kno
to botanists as symbiosis. by which
the clover plant builds houses down
on it's roots in the form of little warts
called tubercles and the bacteria live
in them. They are pretty thick in
these tenements, too, can tell you
regular Rooseveltian families Of them
and in some way not we'll understood
by this cooperation nitrogen is taken
from the air either by the clover get
ting 1t from the air above the ground
or the bacterium taking it from the air
below the ground.
The chemist has never, in recent
years at least, agreed for minute
that something has come from nothing.
He well knew that crop of clover re-
moved a large quantity of nitrogen
from field and still left the soil richer
than it was before the crop was re-
moved. 1t had been observed that
clover was deep rooted and he had
been satisfied with the belief that the
subsoil had supplied the nitrogen to the
clover and that the clover had left it
in the surface SOIL
