KuMus IN THE SOIL.
Called Most Stable Form Of Organic
Matter Known.

Regarding thu vaiue of humus as
such Professor Milton Whitney, chief
Of the United States bureau OF soils.
makes the following statements in
United States farmers bulletin 257:
1--WE have studied the office Of hu-
mus in the growth Of plants. We have
found that humus extracted from our
cultivated soils is %innocuous to the
plant. 1t is apparently neither bene-
fetal nor deleterious. Humus Is a
very stable form OF organic matter.
1t remains in the soil for years. 1t
may be exposed to extremes Of heat
and cold, but still the black color Of a
black soil will persist. 1t is much
more stable than wood. 1t is into hui
mus that wood or wood fiber is con-
verted IL 1t Is incorporated in a finely
divided condition I'm the soil and goes
to an end product-that Is, IL 1t goes
into its most stable form. I really be-
lieve that humus. next to coal, is the
most stable form Of organic matter
that we know OF, and IL you think this
over you will agree with me that when
organic matter is converted into hui
mus it is as thoroughly preserved as
any organic matter we have in nature
OF course, says Practical Farmer.
this refers to the value Of humus as a
source of plant food and not TO its
physical value. BY excessive tillage
and the use of caustic lime the further
decay OF this old humus can be effect
ed or FASTENED, and thus some plant
food can be secured from true humus;
but, as Il rule, the use Of farm manure
or legume crops as green I'M will
be more profitable, especially in sys-
TENS of permanent soil improvement.

LIME FOR FRUIT TREES.
California Authority Finds II Produces
a Stocky Growth.

California Authority Finds II Produces
a Stocky Growth.
To get the best crop of any fruit or
grain there must be the best growth
Of tree or plant, and this is what lime
provides. DR.. f. f. Hilgard, director
Of the California station, a high au-
thority, says that limestone soils pro-
duce a stocky growth of trees SO notice
able that one can tell a limestone Sec
ton by that character of tree growth.
Observation has shown that lime
gives q very favorable root growth-a
well balanced plant, top with roots
and that produces perfection Of flower
ing and fruition. A larger quantity
and a better quality are both distinctly
noticeable In lime fertilization. Hill
gard says also that lime improves the
quality Of fruit; grapes grown with 1t
are notably sweeter. The sugar beet
industry, which is regulated by scien-
tific tests of quality, is most successful
on limestone soils.
AS lime is not very expensive, the
right thing for every fruit grower to
do Is to make some comparative tests
with it, bearing in mind that a true
carbonate form can be applied at any
season and will not injure either plants
or organic matter by direct contact.
In fact, the carbonate mixed with ma
nure or commercial fertilizers enhances
the value without any waste Of fertil-
izer elements.-American Agriculturist.
