Soil Nitrogen Problem of the idaho
Farmer.
(From Idaho Country Life

tFrom Idaho Country Life
From a recently issued bulletin of
the Department of Chemistry of the
Idaho State Experiment Station, there
have been made possibly some very
practical deductions regarding the
soils of the state. 1t has been shown
that the permanent productive capacity
of any soil, that is, its lasting quail
ties, depends primarily upon its chemi-
cal composition and secondarily upon
the methods adopted by the farmer
who tills it. Almost without excep-
ton, the soils of Idaho, thus far ex-
amined, have been found to be excep-
tionally we'll supplied with all of the
mineral elements required by farm
crops. This fact simply means that
if the Idaho farmer will adopt and adj
here to a system of farming that CON
serves the clements of soil fertility, he
can postpone indefinitely the necessity
of applying to his soil those expensive
mineral fertilizers which are the des-
pair of many an eastern farmer.
Broadly speaking, in SO far as COM
position is concerned, soil nitrogen an
pears to be the limiting factor in crop
production in both the seni-arid and
humid sections of the state. Nitrogen
is that all important soil constituent
which is derived largely from decayed
organic or vegetable matter The pro-
cess of making soil nitrogen available
for growing crops is called nitriica-
ton. In the light, sandy soils of the
semi-arid sections of the state, nitrifi-
cation is quickly accomplished. The
raw land Of that section is low in nitro
gen simply because it has never had an
appreciable quantity OF vegetable mat
ter Incorporated with its mineral por-
ton. In getting it into high state of
fertility very often the first thing
necessary is an actual increase of its
organic matter. When once supplied
with material rich in nitrogen and
provided with proper conditions of
soil moisture, rapid nitrifcation sets in
and the problem of soil nitrogen fol
that land readily takes care of itself.
In the humid section of the state,
a deficiency Of available soil nitrogen
results, not from an insufficient
amount Of vegetable matter, but from
slow nitrifcation. 1t has long been
known that cultivation quickens nitri-
hcation Therefore, although as
rule the addition of more organic
matter is desirable, the adoption of a
system of crop rotation that calls for
more frequent cultivation than is prac-
ticed at present is more desirable
1t will thus appear that in either case
the Idaho farmer has at hand a ready
means of maintaining the highest state
of fertility of which his particular soil
is capable.

A more ideal day for the starting ot the great All-Alaska Sweepstakes race couldn't have been asked for There WAS just enough Jack Frost in the air 10 send the blood a tingling through tho veins. and enough temper" in Old Sol 10 make the trail slippery for fast travelling
 It is an open question whether the race will be won in faster time this year than the record breaking one a year ago. for to even equal that time the contestants will have to keep on the "hike" all the time
 At best this Is a race where only the strong who are endowed with a liberal supply of latent energy should com pete with any hopes of winning. The scizzling pace is a sever strain on both man and beast, SO much so, that it is hard work for even the hard hearted to define where the line of demarkation between a test of strength and cndur auce on the one hand and cruelty to animals on the other commences and leaves of.
 The crucial test of the whole race is on the home stretch, and commencing at Council. Between Council and Nome | it must seem weeks to both dogs and man before they arrive at the place Of beginning. The race is often won and ! lost between these two points. for the i flesh is weak and the heart becomes indifferent. and even the winner would lay him down and sleep at every road house he came to were it not for the fact that he is forcibly put out and told i to "Mush-on!'
 1 All who have won a race of this kind have passed throuh the same experi ence. and after they pass Council they commence to drop out. when il is out of the question for them to get inside "f l the money.
 Just who will win remain to or seen and until Solomon is passed there may 1 be no telling as to the lucky driver
