THEORY OF FERTILIZING.
Balance Maintained if Care Is Taken to
Restore Valuable Elements.


The modern use of fertilizers is has
ea manly upon laws laid down by Lie
Die about seventy years ago:
\ soil can be termed fertile onl,
when II contains all the materials req
uiSiie for the nutrition of plants in
the required quantity ana in The proper
form.
TN every crop q portion of these
ingredients IS removed. \ part OF this
pcriIoh IS again added from the inex-
bausiible store of the atmosphere. An
other part. however. is lost forever IL
not replaced by man.
The fertility Of the soil remains I'M
changed il all the ingredients OF crop
arc given back TO the land Such IL
restitution is effected by manure.
Inc manure produced in the course
OF husbandry is not sufficient TO main
tam permanently the fertility Of "A
farm. 1t lacks the constituents which
are annually exported in the shape of
grain. hay. milk and live stock
These laws are deduced from the
fact that. although plants derive the
DulI OF their food from the air in the
FORM of carbon dioxide and water. n
Smal but essential portion-viZ. the
inorganic or ash constituents and most
OF the nitrogen-are drawn from the
soil. In the application Of the laws TO
the fertilizing Of the soil it has been
held that OF the fourteen or more eIc-
mcnts which plants require for their
growth only few-viz, nitrogen. phos-
phoTic acid and potash and sometimes
lime-arc likely TO be deficient in ordi- !
nary soils and must be supplied in the |
form Of fertilizers.
AS Lie6ig points out. the balance Of |
fertility is against the farm in or
binary systems of farming. but the |
fertility of the soil can be maintained |
unchanged and even Il bal
