THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMUs.
What Is Humus and Why Needed?
w. II. Stevenson.
Iowa state Agricultural Station.

Iowa State Agricultural Station
All soils that are really productive
contain decaying roots, leaves and ami
NAL life. We call this partly decayed
organic matter humus. This material
is the life OF the soil 1t is impossible
to grow good crops unless the soil is
well supplied with humus.
Humus has many functions in soils
1t makes heavy soils open and porus,
and this promotes aeration. Clay soils
are especially benefited from the stand
point of these changes. 1t increases the
water holding power and this is an inn
portant factor in making sandy soils
productive. 1t supplies the bacteria OF
the soil with food. Thse bacteria are
indispensable because some of them
make the nitrogen OF the soil available
for plants, while Others fix atmospheric
nitrogen in the soil and render it avail
able for plant foods. Humus gradually
decays and liberates carbonic acid gas,
This acts on the minerals OF the soil
and liberates at least small portion OF
the plant food which they contain. As
a rule, dark colored soils contain a con-
siderable amount of humus and are fer
tile.
Plants Supplement Manure.
If there were an abundance OF ma
ure on all farms, the problem Of keep
ing soils supplied with organic matter
and humus would be easily solved. All
that would be required would be the
application of the manure to keep all
land supplied with organic matter. But
there will never be enough of this ma
terial because all of the soil products
of the farm cannot be fed to animals.
The human race must have other food
than milk and meat Therefore we must
depend upon plants to supplement ma
nures and furnish an adequate supply
of humus. In some cases we may use
only their roots and stubble; often the
entire plant win be plowed under.
If only limited amount OF manure
is available it is often advisable to use
it to grow some clover or other crop
to pillow under. When used in this way
more humus is secured than would be
the case il the manure were used d.
rectly. In general the clovers are the
best plants to grow for asupply of or
ganic matter. There would be practi-
eally no limit to the amount OF this
material which would be available If
farmers would put their lands in shape
to grow clover successfully. This crop
in recent years has been failing more
and more, and land has become def
Gent in organic matter, and less pro-
ductive. Drainage, fertilization and use
of lime will help many farmers to get
the clover they must have in order to
keep their soils stocked with humus.

All Prices Very Steady and Quiet, Little

Boston, March 25.-The week opens in
the local butter, cheese and egg markets
without much change from the condi-
tions of late last week. Eggs hold
steady under good demand and mod.
crate receipts. The cheese market is
rather quiet, but with stocks seasonably
small the lack OF activity is without eff

is no more than steady; much stock was
carried over froms last week, while re-
ceipts are large and the demand at best
is only fairly active. The market is on
a jobbing basis of 29@29hc for fancy

trouble is experienced in obtaining more
than 29c.
