Food that has once been used by
plants is very readily made available
to succeeding crops through the pro-
cess of decay. The soil is now able
to produce larger crop, as it con-
tains the plant food in the previous
growth in addition to that added
through the agencies detailed above.
In this way the growth gradually be-
comes more abundant. The plants up
on decaying give rise to humus, and
this Increases the fertility of the land
both by being source of plant food
and by increasing the water-retaining
power. Humus is a very important
factor in fertility. During the de-
composition of the plants, acid sub

The kumquats or little oranges

are a source of wonderment to many
persons who have never used them

One Of the products of decay or

this is dissolved in the soil water, and

AS the nutritive materials increase
from these various causes the lower

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

This peculiar property of legumi

for it is undoubtedly natures prin.

1t will readily be understood that
the various agencies concerned in the
formation of the soil do not act sep.
arately nor necessarily in any such
order as that in which they have beer
discussed.
AS a matter of fact all the processes
described take place simultaneously.
The lower plants do not wait for the
rocks to be pulverized, for we see

effects of weathering, etc., is to sep

simpler substances, with the result,
for example, that huge deposits of
limestone are formed in one place,
and in another whole hills Of sand

The soil Is almost constantly NOV.

which form soils are continually car.

grinds the rocks, but at the same time
transports the fine particles to lower
levels. It cuts deep valleys in the
surface of the earth and carries away
the debris. depositing 1t at various
distances from its source.
This study of the formation Of the
soil then suggests two things that the
farmer can do to prevent the ex.
haustion of the fertility.
The first is to so treat the soil as
to assist and hasten nature in the
process of converting the plant food
into available forms by means of good
tillage.
The second is to return to the soil
by means Of manure and fertilizers
an amount of plant food equivalent to
that removed by the crop.

cobwebs across his door We're rent apart
and goose entered.
'The shopkeeper rose with a glad smile
he thought he had customer; but when
he saw the goose he muttered an oath.
What do you want here he said
This is no place for geese
Isn't it.? said the goose 'Quack,

derisively, then went on:

must be a goose-or else a donkey-be-
cause otherwise you would place your
advertisement in newspaper, where it
would be read by human beings, and not
upon an isolated fence, where il is only

forms of graft, spent today in Wash

cured a valuable Witness who will
testify before the grand jury Monday.
He said he was confident indictments
would be returned against two or three
men on the testimony of this witness
alone.
Because of the publicity given the re-
ports of the alleged grating in the
county, it was stated today that, beside
Associate Judges Fillmore Beall and b.
Briscoe probably will be on the bench
when the findings of the grand jury are
reported to the court.
Some persons received a wrong i'm
preston from the fact that the grand
jury last night reported its findings for
all of the indictments of the grand
jury for the October term of court had
been returned. This was denied today
by court officials. and the jury will re-
sumo it's sessions Monday. 1t was eX-
pressly stated by Judge Briscoe at the
opening of this term of the circuit court
that the present grand jury might be
called together. again any time before
the April term of court.
Besides the witness obtained in Wash
ington today by Mr.. Calvert, 1t is said
several others will be examined Mon
day by the grand jury. Foreman w. p.
Magruder may be able to examine all
of them in one day. and the findings of
the jury probably will follow in a short
time.
