Good Soil the Basis Of Wealth
BY C. K. McQUARRIE

"Have you any love for the acres you
tend? Do you not wish to see them
fairer and more prolific? Do you feel
no sense of regret or shame when you
see them bare and quilted, or weed
grown and water-logged? Have you
never dreamed of how beautiful and
productive they could be made, if you
only practiced sensible methods? If not
you dare not call yourself good fa1
mer, which is the best title human
being can possible have" If you are
not awake to the just possibilities lying
ahead, Of the profitable production of
crops from soil that is kept up to the
top notch in fertility, then you have mis-
taken your calling and had better be-
come a newer Of wood or drawer Of
water to some one needing your SCI
vices.
The system of shallow blowing so
much in evidence on the Florida farm
is responsible for a great deal OF soil
waste. An agricultural writer has made
the assertion that our Southern farmer
digs each year Panama canal with his
little scooter plow, and [ am convinced
of the truth of the assertion from the
observation of the ordinary methods
that our farmer practices, when he be-
gins his farming operations every
spring. Each year he scratches out the
very heart of his little 49, 50 or 100
acres Of land and block of dirt really
bigger than the Panama canal finds its
way eventually into the Gulf Of Mexico.
In this way the riches of his farm take
wings He did not see it go, but it
~ +ha III
about it is that he will not believe you
if you w tell him of the fact. And yet the
majority of Our farmers are literally
scratching their land out of existence.
By the ordinary methods we have
been wasting our soil resources at an
acce1erating rate each year. And that
is the worst phase of these resource
wastes, they increase with a terrible
swiftness. In the West the buffalo went
at once, our pine forests are going
quickly, Our birds are being destroyed
in yearly increasing numbers by so
called hunters but who are really butch
ers; our fish and oysters are also going
fast, and unless there is letup and
that very soon, there will be none of
these natural resources left. In the
South we have been using the ak, the
saw, and the scooter ploW as agents OF
destruction, not as the creative in
fuence we might have made them, and
in thus doing we have not been using
good business sense We first ripped
off the covering of the soil, and then
ripped up the soil itself and let it get
away from us.
The average American has let few
men steal him blind on every hand, but
the average Southern farmer is stealing
himself blind in his farming methods.
He does not realize the fact that the soil
is the connecting link between organl1
and inorganic life. It is the foundation
of organized society and in fact of all
civilization. It is the farmers bank &C
count. Nay, more, it is the original
source of all the bank accounts in the

country The theoretical and ideal So
luton of this soil problem lies in deep
blowing and we'll chosen rotation Of
crops in which the soil surface will be
covered from the hot sun rays for at
least half the period of the rotation.
The majority of Our fields that have
been for any length of time in cultiva-
ton are so denuded of humus that it
will take some time to get them into
the desired condition, but a systematic
course of growing leguminous crops fol-
lowed by deep blowing of the decayed
vegetable matter in the fall or early
winter, taking care that we ploW a little
deeper every year than we did the last,
and in a very short time we will be able
to bring our soil up to the condition
that will make it a profitable proposition
for us to grow crops on. The ideal
course to pursue is to get Our soil in the
condition that it would take care of
the heaviest rainfall that was ever likely
to occur, and this can be easily done by
deep blowing and subsoiling, and turn.
ing under decayed vegetable matter Of
the previous crop The solution to the
present state of Improbable farming as
generally found among us is to save
your land, nay to restore it. PloW deep,
follow out a rotation system that is
going to build up your soil, then double
the amount of live stock on the farm,
and later on double them again. And
then you are in fair way to become an
ornament to the farming profession.
For a profession it certainly is, requir
ing more shreWdness than law, more
technical training than medicine, more
uprightness than theology, more brains
and resourcefulness than pedagogy. 1t
is its own reward. God made farmers,
they are the worlds wealth. The pro-
fessions are non-producers, and some Of
them parasites.
Right here I may be allowed to dis
cuss some Of the methods best calculat
ed to bring about ideal soil conditions to
which every farmer ought to strive to
get his soil and in addition to the neces-
sity Of deep blowing show that a crop
rotation suitable to soil and climate
conditions will work successfully to tha,
end
One effect of crop rotation on soils is
that on its mechanical condition, as
soil deficient in mechanical conditions is
not advisable. But with different kinds
of crops the mechanical condition of the
soil is constantly undergoing a change
Small grain crops rotated with hoeu
crops tend to make the soil open in text
ure. Grass crops again have the oppo-
site effect. Corn rotated with sweet po-
tatoes has very good mechanical eff

sugar cane, and here also we should

such as velvet beans and cowpeas on

ammonia in his fertilizer bill A
crop of velvet beans after being grazed
off by cattle and hogs, if what remains
on the ground is turned under before
the first of January, is almost equal to
an application of one thousand pounds
of cottonseed meal per acre, and in ad-
dition to its fertilizing value, it is one
of the best humus producing crops we
have
Then again we have the question Of
crop residues in Our rotation to take
into account Weak feeders should be
rotated with strong feeders, and all
crops should be planted with a view to
the assimilative power Of their roots, for
the root system of the crop is what
makes or mars the production thereof.
We must remember that in the roots
of all the plants there are present var
ious organic acids and salts. Between
the rootlets and the soil there is layer
of water. The plant sap and the soil
water are separated by plant tissue,
which serves as membrane The sap
from the roots finds its way into the soil
in exchange for some Of the soil water,
so we see that the acids and the other
compounds secreted by the roots act
upon any mineral matter in the SOIL thus
releasing a certain amount OF plant
food all in proportion to the extent Of
the root system in the soil, thus showing
that plant roots exert solvent power in
obtaining food. Different plant roots
contain different solvents and different
amounts of same. They also present
different areas of roots, such as the close
feeders and wide spread feeders. With
the natural result that every crop has
it's own particular power Of ass1milating
plant food This action Of living plant
roots upon the soil is digestive pro
cess, which is very similar to the digest
ing of food by animals Plant roots not
only possess the power Of rendering
plant food soluble, but they are able to
select the food best suited to their re-
quirements and reject whatever is un-
necessary. Along this same line we could
show the ability of the different crops
to obtain the plant food from their shall
low or deep habits. Potatoes, for in
stance, are surface feeders and the root
system of the crop is more affected by
weather conditions, than rape, which is
one of the deepest rooted crops we have,
and weather conditions do not affect it
much. Rape has also strong tap root
capable of going to extreme depths for
fertility and moisture, whereas the pota-
toes have no tap roots. We should also
follow the same course in our small
grain crops. Barley, which is an ex-
cellent winter crop III our section, diff
fers from oats and wheat in that it is
stronger feeder and has greater root
development and can utilize food in a
different form than the other two men
toned. Oats again can obtain plant food
under more adverse conditions than
either barley or wheat, hence its preva-
lence on the average Florida farm It
will also adapt itself to either sandy or
clay soil
Corn is generally recognized as
gross feeder and good forager. It
removes a large amount of gross fer
tility, but its root habits are such that
it generally leaves an average soil in

The Festive Goldfish.

A correspondent Of the New York
Post says that the Goldfish frequents
"the tablelands Of the sea" The cod
fish no doubt does this to secure as
nearly as possible a dry. bracing at
mosphere. This pure air of the sub
marine tablelands gives to the Goldfish
that breadth of chest and depth Of
lungs that we have SO often noticed.
The glad. free smile Of the Goldfish Is
largely attributed to the exhilaratiOn
Of this oceanic altitOodleum. The cor
respondent further says that the cod
fish subsists largely on the sea cherry"
Those who have not had the pleasure
Of seeing the Goldfish climb the cherry
tree in search Of food or clubbing the
fruit from the heavily laden branches
with chunks Of coral have missed a
very fine sight. The Goldfish when at

The Origin Of Oxygen.

That eminent scientist Lord Kelvin
maintained that all the oxygen IN the
atm"sI'l"r" probably originated from
the IL ti"r If sunlight upon plants.
When our earth was a globe Of hot
liquid 1t contained no vegetable fuel
and probably no free oxygen. But as
it cooled off plants appeared on its
surface. and these began to evolve
oxygen through the medium Of the
sunbeams. Upon the oxygen thus de-
rived We depend for the maintenance
Of life by breathing. When We burn
coal or other vegetable fuel We use up
oxygen. and it is to plants again that
We owe the restoration of the oxygen
thus lost to the air. II they failed to
keep up sufficient supply the atmos-
phere would gradually part with its
oxygen. and the Inhabitants Of the
earth would disappear in consequence
of asphyxiation.
