DOES CORN GROWING ENRICH
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:
1T is a mistake to say that raising
corn will increase the fertility 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 1t so that
other plants may use 1t.
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 CT nitrogen to glow a bushel Of
corn-one-half pound is in the stalks.
The reason that corn Is sometimes
thought to make the soil richer is be-
cause the following crop lis usually bet
ter than where no cultivated crop was
grown the year before. This Is largely
due to the fact that more water is
saved where the soil is cultivated than
where it is not cultivated.
"In extremely dry seasons, the crops
on all kinds of soils may be burned
out by drought. In very favorable
seasons crops may do we'll on any
kind of soil where there is sufficient
plant food. Under ordinary conditions
crops following cultivated crops are
better than those following small
grain crops.
The larger the crops that are re-
moved from the soil, the poorer the
soil becomes, so that the growing Of a
corn crop hastens soil poverty unless
steps are taken to keep the soil sup
piled with plant food. This is accom-
plished by returning as much straw
and stalks and stubble to the soil as
possible; by feeding as much OF the
crops produced as we can; by keeping
up the supply of phosphorus by apply
ing ground rock phosphate to the
soil.
The farmer who follows this plan
will have a soil that IL permanently
fertile. His crop yields will then be
limited only by climatic conditions.
Corn alone will not make the soil
fertile, bat corn, small grain, legumes,
cattle, manure, and phosphorus will
make the soil fertile and the farmer
rich. Try It.

soil fertility see Bulletin No. 145, sent

CHINA STUDY CAMPAIGN
Prsshyteriaas Arrange for lset ures on
the Situation In China

In view of the many changes
taking place in China within
the past few months, which
are of great interest to all stud
ents of current events and So
cial conditions, it has been ar
ranged to hold short series of
meetings at the Presbyterian
church next week when the
modern development of that
ancient nation will be consid-
cred. Lectures will be given
on various topics connected
with Chinese life and customs,
These meetings are open to
the entire community. It is
hoped that many will avail
themselves Of this opportunity
to learn about the oldest and
newest nation in the far east.
The program of meetings is
as follows:

plan. The cooperation of all
interests is the aim of the com
mittee and they believe that
the only way this can be secur-
ed is by a strong county organ
ization.
1t is not our plan to try and
tell the farmer what he should
do, but rather to get him to be
his own demonstrator.' said
Mr.. Ball. We accomplish the
best results by systematic
studies of what is taking place
within the farm itself, and then
by utilizing these studies so as
to point the way to the farmer
for reorganizing his work alon g
business and improvement
lines. Any or all of the crop
Improvement plan, in our judg-
ment, will fail if paternalism is
made the predominant factor. y

Last Saturday, in spite of the
severe weather, six students of
the School OF Forestry went
with NJ. r. Shuler to the farm
of A. H. White to see his fine
stock. They saw some excell-

of the best Shorthorn cattle.
They all agree that the day
was very profitably spent.
They also appreciated NJ r.
