Millions Left by the Late Russell Sage

While the late Russell Sage was In
the flesh he was one of the most pru-
dent, shrewd and persistent money
grubbers In Gotham. The astute finan-
cier never plunged nor risked any
money in wildcat schemes. He was
"sureshot" operator In Wall street.
and when he died he left in the hands
of his lone widow fortune of some
thing like $75,000,000. Since becom-
ing possessed of this enormous for
tune she has worked as persistently
and assiduouosly in scattering the
money as her husband did in gather
ing 1t. The scriptures tell us that
the miser is the man that heaps up
riches and cannot tell who shall gath
er them" Russell Sage knew better,
and the good lady upon whose shoul-
ders was imposed the burden of this
enormous sum of money has worked
hard In tightening the burden. Her
philanthropies have been productive
of as much wisdom as marked her
husbands operations in the market.
She is reported to be failing in health,
and her task is only begun. Should

soil puts 1t in a condition to hold more
water. The great absorptive power Of
organic matter for water causes the
water to be taken into the particles
and held in the SOIL The soil water Is
also held closer to the surface by hav-
ing a supply Of organic matter in the
upper soil layers, and in this position
the plant can get better supply. The
teachings, washing, and blowing OF
sandy soils are prevented to consid-
cradle extent by plowing under a
green crop. These are few impor-
tant benefits to the physical condition
OF sandy soils.
One mistake which the farmer Is apt
to make in plowing under green crop
is to let the crop grow too late in the
spring. This robs the soil Of water
which will be needed for the succeed
ing crop at critical period, and often
the growth is too much to be plowed
under at one time and at that season.
The writer has seen fields which have
been spoiled for the season In this
way. although the danger is greater
on heavy than on light soils. II is
better TO plow under small amounts
and do il often. especially when done
in the spring and when the season is
apt to be dry.
The effects produced on sandy soils
by plowing under a green crop are
usually beneficial when done under
the right conditions. Sandy farms in
Michigan have been built up in this
manner together with barnyard ma
nue.. and many successful farmers use
this means to increase the fertility Of
their soils.

Flowing Under a Green Crop
on Sandy Soils
By c. II. SUBWAY, Asst Deps rtment of Soils
Michigan Agricultural College

Sandy soils cover by far the largest
area in Michigan. This fact makes
the problem Of building up and main
tanning the fertility of this kind of
soil important to most Michigan far
mers. Some Of these soils are lack
ing in fertility in their virgin state,
and some have been run down by poor
management. The most important
thing to do to improve the fertility In
either case is to add organic matter
of some kind to these soils. The
cheapest way to do this is undoubt-
edly that of plowing under a green
crop.
The greatest benefits to be derived
from plowiDg under a crop such as
clover, are increased supply Of nitro
gen and a better physical condition Of
the soil. There are other benefits, but
these two are the most important, and
II is probable that the effect upon the
physical condition of the soil is the
one that produces the most good. II
we plow under a crop of clover of two
tons to the acre, we add about so
pounds of nitrogen TO the soil. Some
OF this nitrogen was taken from the
soil by the clover plant and some was
taken from the air through the me-
dium of bacteria which grow on the
roots of the clover. We can not de-
termine how much nitrogen was taken
from the soil and how much was Ia
ken from the air. That depends upon
the conditions. We do know, however,
that the air above an acre of soil con-
tains many millions of dollars worth
of nitrogen, and that this nitrogen is
brought to the soil by the bacteria
that grows on the roots of legumes
and We get 1t into the soil for almost
nothing Why not let the bacteria do
our nitrogen fertilizing?
