What has contributed TO bring about
this unfortunate condition Of affairs is
ithat for the last two hundred years there
has scarcely been any international
treaty between European powers that
has not been modified in its most i'm
portant features, either by secret clauses
or else by a subsidiary secret agreement.
There have even been a number of
instances where two nations have
bound themselves by a more or less pub

mediately afterward negotiated a secret
agreement with the third. thereby we'll

original treaty and breaking faith with
its official ally.
Thus. one Of the chief sources Of the
bitterness that is still manifested in
Austria to-day against Prince Otto Won
Bismarck. and which led Emperor Fran

his son Herbert, was the discovery that

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-10-01
FERTILITY

Deficiency of nitrogen and need for
more organic matter is readily recog-
nized by the light yellowish color OF
growing vegetation, while an abundant
supply is recognized by the rich dark
green luxuriant foliage. Note differ
ence in color after the application OF
barnyard manure or the plowing
under of a clover sod.
The organic matter makes heavy
soils more friable and easy to work,
and less likely to puddle and bake,
and opens them up so they will take
water and air better. 1t partially
fills the pores of loose sandy and
gravelly soils, making them more
compact, increasing their power to
hold water and soluble plant food,
lessening the danger in wet climate,
or, under irrigation, of teaching away
of available plant food.
3. A proper supply of capillary
moisture. Water alone has very
gradual solvent action on the rock
material but it is as essential in keep
ing up healthy bacterial action in the
soil as it is to mich COW. Further
more, plants cannot take up soluble
plant food from the soil without 1T
is first dissolved in capillary moisture.
A loose. cloddy, dry seed bed then
will not furnish the best conditions
for the rapid development of soluble
plant food, no matter how full of
straw and air it may be. 1t must be
worked down thoroughly to hold the
moisture.
4. A proper temperature. Bacterial
actionsand chemical changes progress

IN SOIL
BY PROF. GEO. SEVERENCE
(wE STERN WASHINGTON EXPERIMENT STATION PUYALLUP3

as is true in many cases, the receipts
do not pay the cost of operation.
What are the necessary conditions?
l. The proper circulation OF air in
the soil. Oxygen of the air helps to
break down the hard rock material
in the soil much as it changes the
hard shiny surface of plowshare to
a powder (rust) in the presence of
moisture. Without oxygen, plant
roots will die. Oxygen taken in by
the leaves will not take the place of
oxygen needed by the roots.
Many of the desirable chemical
changes in the soil are due to the
action of soil bacteria with which all
healthy soils are teeming. These
bacteria cannot thrive without oxy-
gen. Just to the extent that the
full amount needed is reduced will
the desirable bacteria action be re-
duced. There cannot be proper
circulation of air in soil we'll filled
with stagnant water, nor can there
be proper circulation of air in a field
packed hard and dried into bricklike
clods. We recognize by the growth
on such soils that something is wrong.
2. A good supply of organic matter.
This furnishes food for soil bacteria.
Through their action the organic
matter decomposes and weak acids
are formed which attack and dissolve
the rock material, putting it into
available form for the plants. With
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-10-01

and how fertility may be developed
within a soil.
All agricultural plants require for
their growth thirteen elements, all
of which are found in greater or less
quantity in every soil that will grow
plants at all. OF these elements the
only ones apt to be deficient in any
soil are nitrogen, potash, phosphoric
acid and sometimes lime. Physically,
all soils consist of broken down rock
and decaying organic matter (the re-
mains of leaves. stems, roots, manure,
etc.. The plant must derive its pot
ash, phosphoric acid and lime from
the broken down rock of the soil.
The nitrogen needed by the plant is
secured from the decaying organic
matter of the soil except in the case
of leguminous plants, which are able
to secure some of the free nitrogen
of the air through the action OF
certain bacteria on their roots.
How do the plants take up these
elements? Pour water through a
bucket of good soil; it will come
through discolored. Chemical analy-
sis will show that the water has dis
solved certain compounds of potash
of phosphorus and of nitrogen las
we'll as compounds of other elements)
from the soil. This solution of COM
pounds of elements is taken up by
the plant root hairs in contact with
the soil PARTICLES and serves as plant
food. II we continued to pour water

PROBLEM

From all over Western Washington
farmers are constantly inquiring
sWhat fertilizer shall l put on my
soil to make it grow garden or grasses
or orchard,'' or "Will you please
analyze my soil and tell me what
element it lacks, or what element it
contains?" These inquiries show a
very general need for information as
to how food elements exist in the soil
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1911-10-01

show that the immediately soluble
material in the soil would supply the
growing plants only few weeks at
best, not nearly enough to last
through the growing season.
How, then, is the growing plant to
be kept in food? II the bucket Of
soil from which you washed practical
ly all the soluble material be set aside
for few days and be kept nicely
moist it will be found you are again
able to dissolve considerable material
from the soil. Certain chemical
changes have been going on in the
bucket of soil that have changed a
small amount of the insoluble material
into soluble form. These same
chemical changes take place in the
field under BILE conditions, but
the rapidity of the changes will vary
greatly with variations in the
necessary conditions. The secret of
successful soil managements rests in
keeping the conditions right for the
liberation of as much food as bum
per crop can use-no more, no less.
II the soil is so managed consider
ably more of the important elements
are made soluble than the crop can
use, the surplus will be washed away
to a large extent and the soil will be
rapidly depleted of its latent or re-
serve fertility. If less than enough
to support maximum crop is made
available, the legitimate profits of
soil tillage are directly reduced, or,

a deficiency in organic matter there
will not be enough acids formed to
liberate the desired amount of mineral
elements. A variation in the amount
and rapidity of decomposition of the
organic matter will also cause cor
responding variation in the supply
of available nitrogen for the plant.

est Hin cemetery, the Park Addition
people offering 20 pay one-half of the
cost IL the township viii pay the other
half. The proposed new road will
cut OF the steep grade from the valley
and make the cemetery much easier
of access. The board will secure esti-
mates on the probable cost Of the pro-
posed road and submit figures at the
next meeting.
The township board audited the
usual monthly bills and the highway
commissioner was authorized 10 haul
rock for road purposes while the snow
is on the ground. thereby saving much
labor and expense Of hauling as much
larger loads can be hauled than when

USE THE RED CROSS SEALS.

once a year we stop from our busy
commercial life as the Christmas sea-
son comes. lay aside the cares that
beset us and give ourselves over TO
happiness and rejoicing, taking pleas
ure in such advantages as have been
vouchsafed us. We devote ourselves
to our families and friends. We find
our own happiness in thinking OF
them and in seeking TO bring pleasure
TO them. But every Christmas season
also has its poverty its suffering and
its sickness. and while We are our
happiest there may be others within a
stones throw, To whom the season
brings nothing of joy.
But If it is impossible to escape the
shadow of tragedy we can at least
tighten it and the Red Cross Christ
mas seals are one of the means pro-
vided to this end. They afford a prac-
tical way of contributing to the happi-
ness of those who most need thought
fulness. They aid i'm spreading the
spirit of the season. Their use has
become a regular feature of the holi-
day season.
The Red Cross seal is not a stamp.
II will not carry a letter But placed
en- the back of a letter or affixed TO a
Christmas package it will help i'm car
rying little aid to the unfortunates
who are in need of care and it will
aid in big fight that is being carried
on against a disease now all too pre-
valent that can be stamped out with
proper attention.
