stances are formed which act upon
the rocks in such a way as to make
more Of the plant food available.
One Of the products of decay or
fermentation is carbonic acid gas, and
this Is dissolved In the soil water, and
this gas-containing water is an i'm
portant help in disintegratiug the
rocks.
from these various causes the lower
simpler forms of plant life are grad
ually replaced by those which are
more highly organized
With the advent Of plants, like our
common crops, which bear roots,
other factors In the formation of soils
are introduced. The roots secrete an
acid substance that has a solvent
effect on the mineral matter of the
soil, and the roots themselves also
assist mechanically in breaking down
the rocks.
All are familiar with the tremend-
Gus force exerted by plants In break
ing apart rocks and stones II once
their tender rootlets obtain a footboid
In a crevice.
The roots penetrate the soil some
times to great depths, and, as they
decay after the death of the plant,
they leave little channels in the soil
which serve to carry down water
laden with carbonic acid. as well az
to inti oduce the oxygen of the air,
that, In its turn. Is a factor In bring
ing about chemical changes In the
soil. which assist In making plant
food available.
Sooner or later in the process OF
soil formation. plants of the pulse
family Oeguminous plants), such as
clover, vetches. lupines. etc., are in
,troduced.
II you dig up some of these plants
you will find little nodules or tuber-
cles on their roots. These noduIes
are the homes of numerous bacteria,
which enable the plants to derive part
Of their food from the nitrogen of
the atmosphere.
This peculiar property of legumi-
nous plants Is OF great Importance.
for 1t is undoubtedly natures prin-
'cipal method Of increasing the supply
