er's control. Dame Nature can, however be
trusted to attend to them satisfactorily How,
then. has the farmer made use OF his ability to
control the two factors? BY exercising judg.
ment and care In the selection OF seed and by
ignoring the matter OF plant food entirely. The
result? When the land was worn out and had
no plant food to give the good seed the agrIcul.
turist arose irately In farmers institute and
told what he thought OF the seed seller. The
trouble all the time was not with the seed but
with the soil. which had had the elements OF
plant food removed In previous crops. and as
consequence could not respond to the call Of
the seed
What are these elements7 There are ten

Fastening the impoverishment OF the SOIL
To return to the question of limestone, one
ton to the acre finely ground will correct the
acid condition Of most soils. It Is, however,
in the end cheaper and easier to apply more
and to apply II less often. AS much as ten
tons to the acre was applied to the soil of one

for successful grain farming but II Is not
the universal panacea some would have US be-
licve. For instance. a group Of theorists
have declared that fertilization is unnecessary
that crop rotation will keep the soils In per.
feet condition The idea is that plants do not
inture the soil because they use Its plant food
elements but because they throw of poisonous
excreta as animals do. Therefore a so.called

Phosphorus may be applied In lib
eral amounts-as much as 1000 pounds
to the acre every three or four years
and It costs about 81 ton.
After the problem of returning the
elements to the soil has been solved
the farmer may find another condition
of the soil which must be corrected
before his farm will produce as 1t
should. This is the tendency Of Ger.
tain soils to acidity. Glover, alfalfa
and other valuable iegumes cannot
thrive upon soil that is sour. Some
times on acid soils when applications
OF farm manure are made. the legumes
will seem to grow well. but exafnina-
ton reveals the fact that the nitrogen
gathering bacteria fail to develop
properly. Hence the most valuable
contribution the legumes have to make
to the soil Is largely lost. Upon Ger.
tain fields belonging to one Of the
most famous agricultural stations in
the world. that Of Rothamstead. Eng.
land. applications Of natural limestone
were made century ago. They are
still moderately productive. although
other fields near by. which have never
received the application. are extreme
ly unproductive.

stone is used for the one and only pur-
pose OF correcting soil acidity.
