CHANGES IN TIE SOIL.

Nebraska Tying to Ascertain Effects
Ut Present Methods OF Farming.
The Nebraska experiment station has
been making some Investigations in the
line of determining the amount of soil
depletion By present methods OF farm
ing These We're confined to the deep.
heavy loan soils that are common to
many parts Of the northwest.
A recent bulletin gives the results OF
the analyses Of many samples of soil
taken at different depths from the sur
face inch to the sixth foot. 1t also
shows the composition Of the surface
soil Of prairie fields compared with
that Of adjacent long cultivated fields
the history of which is known.
1t would appear from the analyses
that the only fern OF plant food that
has as vet shown a dilniaution suffi-
cient to be detected by chemical analy-
sis is nitrogen. The only important soil
constituents, whether used rs plant
food or not. that have declined appre-
ciably after thirty to fifty years of Gull
tivation are the nitrogen and organic
matter. These two constituents rise
idly in amount from the surface down
ward. Accordingly the washing away
or blowing away of the surface soil
will make the soil poorer in these con-
stituents. The greatest losses in the
past have been caused by washing or
blowing. The content Of the other
forms Of plant food is rather higher in
the subsoil than in the surface soil and
accordingly is not injuriously affected
by the removal OF surface soil.
To maintain the surplus of nitrogen
and organic matter it will be neces-
sary to prevent the removal Of surface
soil by wind or water in SO far as pos
sible. Further. the burning OF straw
and stalks should be avoided. and all
barnyard manure should be returned
to the land. Even if these precautions
be observed. there will be steady de-
cline in the cultivated fields unless le-
gumes Glover or alfalfa) be grown or
the produce Of other fields be fed and
the manure applied. By growing clo-
yer or alfalfa the nitrogen and organic
matter may be increased at the same
time that profitable crop is obtained

The character Of the soil has a
marked influence on the quantity and
kind Of fertilizer 1t Is necessary to
use in a good system Of farming. And
because a fertilizer Is strikingly ef-
fective on one crop upon a certain
kind Of soil it is not proof that the
same combination will be at all bene-
fetal to that crop on another kind of
soil and certainly not that its use un-
der different crop upon another soil
will be economical. Yet this is too

class of farmers.

both located on similar soils. due to
the fact that the former have a better
understanding OF the use OF fertilizers
and employ better farm methods.
No definite quantity or proportion OF
| fertilizer constituents can ever be
given that will meet the needs Of a
crop under all circumstances, as the
rotation of crops. the growing of leg
umes. the use Of crops for green ma
nuring, the application of barnyard
manure. the methods of preparation
| and cultivation and the character OF
soil will always be factors which must
be taken into consideration when using
commercial fertilizers.
