GIVE YOUR SOIL MORE ORGANIC
MATTER

A homesteader in north Idaho re-
Gently wrote us that his garden truck
had failed to make a satisfactory
growth on newly cleared and broken
land. Assuming a sufficient rainfall
to promote a thrifty growth, his soil
is evidently lacking in available nitro
gen compounds. His case is typical
of many others. The soil demands
more organic matter, the material
from which available nitrogen is man
ufactured. This is the time of year
to collect every available pound of
manure and return it to the soil. A
heavy application of manure thorough
ly plowed under this fall will do
great deal to improve the appear
ance of the crop next summer. I
would suggest leaving the ground
rough until next spring so that the
greatest amount possible of rain and
snow will be caught and held. Guilt
vate deep and thoroughly in the early
spring, then follow by more shallow
cultivation as the season advances.
The idea is to thoroughly open up
the soil for the penetration of air and

LIME IN THE SOIL.

The most rational use of lime or
the soil is to neutralize the soil acid
ity. The acids found in the soil are
products of the decayed organic mat
ter. Most crops, especially the leg
umes, thrive better in neutral OF
slightly alkaline soil, since nitrogen
forming bacteria do not properly de-
velop in acid soils.
Limestone is preferred to burned
lime, which on account of its caustic
properties is destructive to the or
ganic matter in the soil, unless al
lowed to air-slake long enough to re-
vert to limestone. The limestone
should be finely ground and thorough
ly incorporated with the soil. Two
tons per acre about every five years
is recommended for land that persists
in being acid and that seems to do
better upon the application of lime.
Large amounts are not injurious, but
since it is slightly soluble it is better
to apply small amounts at regular in
tervals.
For soils that ought to be lined
only once for acidity, chemical ex-
animation would show the correct
amount of lime to be applied.
