SOIL AND CROP SANITATiON-AS
A BASIS FOR CROP ROTATION
IN THE PRODUCTION OF SEED
BEARING CROPS.
BY II. l.. Bolley.

1t is the writer's belief after a mum.
Der of, years careful experimental
work and study upon root and seed
diseases Of cereal grains and upon
tillage methods, fertilizer methods
and relation trials for the purpose OF
controlling such diseases, that these
diseases in fact constitute the chief
reason for the deterioration of seed
crops. Our experiments have made
it evident that soils which have been
pronounced as depleted for the
growth of cereal crops are not depict
ed chemically sufficient to account for
the poor quality of crop which they
produce. Our experiments teach us
that under certain conditions Of soil
publication which do not involve the
addition of fertilizers, these lands
can be made to yield even greater
Yields than they have ever yielded
before. and to produce seed Of quality
equally as good as they originally
did. :
1t has been found that certain ro-
tations are very desirable in bringing
about these results. 1t is now evil
dent that even the best rotations and
the most fertile lands cannot pro
duce anything but deteriorated seed
If certain condiSs OF disease are
present in the soil or In the seed.
Too Much Emnhacis to Depletion
Theory.
The author believes from these eX-
periments, which are numerous and
conclusive, and from the study Of sue
cessful experiments of agriculturists in
general, and from a study Of certain
crop rotations which, in practice, have
failed, that all scientific men and far
mers and practical a~ericul|urists,
himself included have, in the past,
given too much emphasis to the
chemical depletion theory. We have
charged the farmer wit hbeing a soil
robber and public men have rei1er-
ated it, when, in fact, one is only able
to prove that farmers. have used bad
sanitary management in handling the
soil and the seed. VIZ
Our experiments have shown that
it is almost Impossible, under common
farm procedure. to procure seeds Of
any Of the cereals ond small grains
which are internally free from des-
truc.ive disease producing root des-
troying parasites, but, by special en-

r not matters of soil variation, but
are primarily due to a disease pro-
blem superimposed upon the problem
Of soil quality and climatic conditions.
A soil may be very poor in its chemi-
cal constituents, yet the wheat which
it raises very perfect. There is, in
deed, no biological reason why a soil
which is rather deficient in some
particular chemical, other conditions
being equal. should fail to produce
wheat grains of normal type. There
are, however, very many reasons why
the most fertile soil, under unsani:
tary conditions of seed and soil, can
not be expected TO produce wheat of
normal character, ever though the
quantity in bushelage be large, which,
however, Is seldom the case when the
quality is very low.
Seed Not Mourished Properly.
The wheat Of the northwest. on old
cropped lands, does not produce nor
mai plump, properly colored berries
because the land is ~infertile, but be-
cause the roots and straw are SO
thoroughly invaded by parasitic fun

that the seed cannot be properly nou
ished. The plants are not only not
able to secure sufficient moisture from
the soil, but are unable to ramify tae
soil with roots whereby they might be
able to get at the fertility.

age and DECENTRALIZATION, but our ex-
periments teach that crops have more
selective power than we have ever
given credit for, but that they cannot
do much if their roots are eaten off
and their stems badly destroyed BY
parasites which heretofore have not
been properly taken into account.
The problem of soil biology, there.
fore, becomes one which needs more
careful attention before a statement
may be arranged for the best crop
rotation for a specific process. Wien
the matter has thus been carefully
studied, it will be found that there
Is no material conflict in good me-
thods which have been worked out by
long experience and those which are
coming from new or carefully planned
experiments on soil and seed biology.
There have been very many valu-
able experiments, and very valuable
plans of soil improvement which have
been vitiated because of the fact that
these have been studied only in their
theoretical relationship TO the soil.
Usually the experimentor has not
asked what is the matter, with the
crop, but almost invariably what is
the matter with the soil. He has
usually analysed the soil from (which
deteriorated grain has been removed
to find out what is the matter with 1t,
and has analysed the seed or grain
which came off such soil to find out
what is in it, and has drawn theories
accordingly, with the result that he
