CornG Growing Increases
ity of the Soil

An inquirer writes the state col
lege:
81 hear so much talk about raising
corn to increase the fertility of the
soil. Just how does corn make the
soil richer?"
Answer by J. G.. Hutton, S. D.. Elk
pertinent Station, Bookings:
ct is a mistake to say that raising
corn will increase the fertility of the
soil, because growing corn adds alb
solutely nothing to the soil in the
way of plant food.
1.-The legume crops, like clover,
peas, alfalfa and sweet clover are
the only crops that add any plant
food to the soil and that only when
they are plowed under or when they
are fed and the resulting manure
plowed under. These crops can take
nitrogen from the air and fix it so that
other plants may s it.
Corn does not have the power OF
gathering nitrogen from the air, but
must get it from the soil where the
! supply is limited. 1t takes a pound
and a half of nitrogen to grow q
bushel of corn; one-half pound is in
the stalks.
1.-THE reason that corr is sometimes
thought to make the soil richer Is be
cause the following crop is usually
better than where no cultivated croI
was grown the year before. This il
largely due to the fact that more wa
ter is saved where the soil is cult
yated than where it is not cultivated
"In extremely dry seasons, the
crops on all kinds of soils may be
burned out by drouth. In very fav
orable seasons crops may do well or
any kind Of soil where there is suf
fcient plant food. Under ordinar,
conditions crops following cultivated
crops are better than those following
small grain crops.
4 = H- #e.E -LL LaH.
1.-THE larger the crops that are re
moved from the soil, the poorer tn,
y sell becomes. SO that the growing o
a corn crop hastens soil poverty un
less steps are taken to keep the sol
supplied with plant food. This is &C
complished by returning as much o
the straw and stalks and stubble t
the soil as possible; by feeding al
much of the crops produced as w
can; by keeping up the supply Q
phosphorus by applying ground rocl
phosphate to the soil.
The farmer who follows this plai
Twill have a soil that is permanent.
fertile. His crop yields will then b
limited only by climatic conditions
Corn alone will not make the sol
fertile. but corn, small grain, legumes
cattle, manure, and phosphorus vii
make the soil fertile and the farme

Norway and Trottina Horses.


From tales of travel and other
sources Of information it appears that
Norway was one Of the first countries
to develop speed in the trotting horse,
which centuries ago seems to have
been common to the nations of north.
ern Europe. Sigvried Petersen says
that as early as the beginning Of the
eighteenth century there were inform
al trotting races in Christana. The
principal name in the history of the
sport is that Of Jacob Meyer, chief of
the royal mounted militia, who was
born In 1881. He owned the noted
horse Sleijner-varg that on March Is,
1929, trotted an English mile in 2:37
and repeated in the same time. This
was faster than any horse had then
trotted in America, so far as is known.
In Sweden and in Finland the sport
Of trotting horses dates back, it is said,
to prehistoric times. With long win
tiers and nothing else to do the people
raced their horses to sleighs on the
ice. Sunday morning was the great
occasion, men and horses coming from
miles around to take part in or witness
the sport.-New York Herald.
