Humus--What Is Ii?

Iumus is a short word and a good
name, SO we ought to stick to it,.
When vegetable matter, such as
wheat, stubble, clover, corn stalks,
ETC., is turned under. it decays, Of
course. This decayed matter is called
humus. 1t gives TIE dark color to
soils; it binds the soil particles to-
gether and makes the soil "lively,"
easy to work; it causes the soil to
hold more water, but at the same
time to drain better, SO is a mighty
fine thing amy season.
Our crops have been using up q
great deal of humus this season. Had
we not better plan now to renew the
supply? Figure on turning under a
green mature crop next season, and
be sure to save and use all h G
manure. Go further, plan how you
can turn under green crop on every
field during the next three or foul
years.-The PloWman.
