When Soils Cease to Produce


The trouble with soils when they
cease to produce as they did when
new is not that elements of plant
food are actually exhausted from the
soil, but the necessary forces for the
liberation are exhausted. One of
these forces is bacteria. It is esti-
mated that in the common soil there
are 15O,O0O,000 bacteria to the ounce.
These bacteria must have for their
food, humus, then they will liberate
food for the growth Of plants. To be
good farmer one needs to grow
legumes and other cover crop plants
to turn under for humns. and to en-
courage these beneficial bacteria to
perform their functions In the soil.

ease.
is somewhat slow. When the plants
reach height of 10 to IA inches,
there is an apparent cessation OF
growth. The first indication of the
disease is usually conspicuous at this
time. The preliminary symptoms are
a light green color of the foliage, par
ticularly the lower leaves; this is &C
companied during the heat Of the day
by partial whiting and an inward
and upward rolling of the upper
leaves. The color gradually changes
to a sickly yellow, which slowly and
evenly covers the affected vines. The
willing and rolling Of the leaves ex-
tends to all parts of the affected
plants. As the disease progresses the
field takes on notified yellow to light
green color. The growth of the
foliage is greatly restricted, the wilt
ing becomes more pronounced and
there is associated much tip-burn ow-
ing to the failure of the. leaflets to
fully recover at night from the wilt
of the midday. Occasionally hills will
show only one or two vines afflicted.
Plants which early succumb to the
disease pull up easily, manifesting a
badly rotted condition of the root.
AS rule the blighted stems do not
fall, but remain quite erect, except
for the dropping top.
There is much evidence to indi-
cate that many growers are practicing
potato rotations Of too short dura-
ton. Most of such growers have at
tempted to maintain threeyear
rotation of wheat, clover and pota-
toes, but longer than three-year
rotation should be practiced.
Sick fields should not be planted in
potatoes again for at least five or six
years, and even longer time may be
required to work the parasitic fungus
from the soil. Grass and grain crops
will undoubtedly eliminate the fun
gus from the soil quicker than will
manuring and cultivated crops.

moisture, due to the drying up of the
rotting tubers. This excess moisture
condition, together with the added
facility with which bacteria and decay
fungi may enter the already infected
tubers, brings about much complica-
ton in the form of soft or wet rots,
for which the Fusarium disease is
primarily responsible. Under the
average cellar storage conditions it
is quite safe to estimate the loss from
dry-rot and its complications at from
one to five per cent.
