FERTILITY MAY BE RESTORED
Principal Factor In Restoration, Ac-

in the restoration OF the soil fertility,
according to Prof. Vivian. is organic

largely responsible for the depletion

matter must be restored II We expect

ture, and is a storehouse of plant
food. How can organic matter be re-
stored to the soil?
BY saving all animal manures and
putting them onto the land; by max
ing use OF all crop residues. that is.
putting back into the soil everything
not used for feed; by turning under
green manuring and catch crops"
Prof. Vivian pointed out the loss sus-
tained by burning straw stacks and
other crop residues and declared that
the difference between the careful
saving OF this plant food and its wan
ton destruction was the difference
between the salvation and damnation
Of our soils"

On the majority OF stock and dairy

TO apply the farm manure. A corn
crop is able TO make profitable use OF
manure for the reason that it makes
its principal growth late in the season
after the fertilizing elements in the
manure have been available to nour-
ish the growing plants, by the action
OF the elements.
The ideal corn field is prepared by
