Today, all over this country, farms
are thought to be worn out and
many OF them abandoned, when all
they require is humus. This takes
us right back to the first feature
mentioned, namely, stock raising.
the source OF manure, the foundation
OF humus. Humus is the home of
SOIL bacteria or soil laboratory work
ers; humus is the retainer of nitro
gen; humus regulates the tempera-
ture of the soil, humus renders the
soil of good filth; humus permits of
q Tree circulation of atmospheric oxv-
gen through the soil and humus is
indispensable in assisting to absorb
and retain moisture.
Soil devoid of humus is as barren
as pure st. Peters sand, and soil
deficient in that substance produces
grudgingly.
Nitrogen is secured from the at
mosphere by planting legumes. Car
bon is breathed into the plant
through the leaves in the form of
carbon dioXide, and the amount alb
sorbed depends upon the condition
or the leaves. Oxygen is made avail
able to plant roots by tilIage methods
and hydrogen is a component part of
water.
The amount and availability of all
or the elements and substances men
toned is always strictly in keeping
with the degree of intensity and
thoroughness of the farmer in OBJ
serving all of the natural require
ments of the plant.
How to Prevent Soil from Blowing
One of the very serious obstacles
to overcome in most dry sections Is
the blowing of soil. After many ex-
pertments, | am convinced that by
using the corrugated roller, drifting
can be materially lessened. The
roller should be run at right angles

sure of the air current above tends
to hold it in the hollow between the
ridges, thereby supporting them in
a measure. The ability of the ridges
to withstand wind is materially in
creased if the soil is thoroughly
mixed with organic matter. This is
another reason why yard manure
and green crops should be we'll mixed
throughout the seed bed Hoed and
cultivated crops should be seeded to
vetch, peas or rye after the last Guilt

oughly disced into the soil before it

GOOD FARMING

Following is an abstract of a lee
,ure on Good Farming" delivered
~ DR.. w. E. Taylor, the soil expert
Of Moline, ILL.,:
Good farming demands a strict
observance of features, managem ent
and science. Two features are in
volyed, namely stock raising and
growing crops.
Stock raising is the sheet anchor
in maintaining fertility, and it is also
the foundation of a profitable mar
ket for the farmers products. The
farmer who ignores stock raising is
not farmer, he is simply miner.
and will be held accountable to
future generations for robbing the
soil of its fertility. The exclusive
stock raiser is party to the crime
for he is feeding products containing
fertility which belong to soil that
produced them and the feeder, as a
rule, wastes the manure from the
stock which should be returned to
the soil.
1t must also be remembered that
stock raising is successful and profit
able only when the feeder observes
three essential things, namely, breed,
care and feed.
Farm management involves rota-
ton and adapting the right crops to
soils and conditions.
Tillage, or crop raising, involves
four essential steps, namely, the seed
bed, fertility, seed selection and Gull
tivation. All of these features and
steps are absolutely interdependent
and th@final production, whether it
be stock or crops, will be in keeping
with the one step or steps which
have been neglected.
Scientific farming is not a COM
pick abstract proposition, difficult to
master, it is simply complying with
natures natural requirements. The
requirements of the growing plants
are very exacting; their demands be-
ing not unlike our own.
Primarily, they require a good
home, that is a good seed bed. That
home should be deep and roomy, it
should be thoroughly aterated; it
should be well supplied with moist
ure and stocked with an abundance
Of food. 1t should also be in such
physical condition that capillary at
traction is perfect and in addition it
should be we'll supplied with humus
or organic matter.
If these requirements are all pro-
vided, the first and important step
has been taken toward making a
maximum crop.

The Seed Bed

The seed bed should be deep and
roomy for the reason that plant roots
should never be cramped. They are
usually very abundant and the more
room they have the greater is their
ability to spread, absorb moisture
and secure food. A plant root natur-
ally takes the course of least resist
ance. If the seed bed is shallow and
the bottom of the bed is a hard pan
or extremely compact soil, the roots
are very apt, when they reach that
point, to spread outward, following
the more easily penetrated soils. In
the event of drought such seed
bed will rapidly dry out and the
plant roots will necessarily suffer for
moisture and are very apt if the
drought is of long duration, to per-
ish If the seed bed is made deep,
the roots taking their natural course,
Will gain strength and stability to
penetrate the more compact soils
when they are reached, where they
are reasonably certain to secure an
abundance of moisture in the event
of drouth.
The seed bed should be roomy,
deep and in a physical condition to
facilitate rapid absorption of moist
ure. Such a seed bed acts as a sur
lace reservoir not unlike thick
sponge, to receive and hold heavy
doWnpours of rain until the water
Percolates into the deeper subsoils,
which serve as a storehouse for water
to be used during the growing
period.
To facilitate the percolation Of
water and the penetration of roots,
1t is advisable, if the subsoil is not
sand or gravel, to use a type of sub
soil pillow that simply cuts a narrow
cash to a depth of 10 or more
inches below the bottom of the fur
row. Such an opening does not in
terfere with capillary attraction, but
does admit air and water. If, how
ever, type of subsoil plow is used
which has a wide duck-bill shovel or
point, the hard pan or more compact
soil will be broken up, leaving large
ali spaces which effectually hinder
the upward movement of capillary
water. | have known land to be
made absolutely unproductive for a
number of years or until, through a
settling process, the air spaces were
obliterated, by using such an imple-
ment. If the cash is from three
Fights to one-half an inch in thick
ress, practically all of the water
which does not adhere to the soil
PARTICLES will readily enter the open
ing where it will naturally spread
out and upward, rotting and mellow
Ing the compact soil. If anyone
doubts the activity and effectiveness
OF water when so stored | would sug-
lest the following experiment which
ls simple, but effective. Lay a tight
board floor on another floor, leaving
crack In which water is poured. IT

Fertility

Plants secure their food from the
soil and atmosphere. Each particle
of disintegrated rock (the substance
of the soil is made up of disinte-
grated rock contains in varying
quantities the following inorganic
elements, namely, silica, phosphorus,
potash, lime, magnesia, soda, sui
phur and iron. The atmosphere
contains the other necessary ele-
ments, namely, nitrogen, oxygen,
hydrogen and carbon. Approxim ate
ly 971s per cent of the dry substance
of the plant is secured either direct
ly or indirectly from the atmosphere.
The farmer stands between these
two great groups of elements, and is
the real dynamic force ordained by
the Creator to make them available.
While we may have all of the ele-
ments mentioned in abundance, they
are absolutely yalueless unless the
soil contains a sufficient amount Of
humus, not dead humus but live &C
tive humus.
