Means of Determining Soil Fertility

e. B. Stookey, Assistant Agronomist.
Many inquiries are received at this
station concerning the soil needs of
different parts of Western Washing
ton. There seems to be a general
opinion that by an examination of a
soil it can readily be told just What
crops are best adapted to the soil,
and just what fertilizers will give
the best results. This opinion is
based on the facts that a mechanical
analysis will give the percentage of
the different sized soil PARTICLES. and
a chemical analysis will give the per-
centage Of the different elements in
the soil. Both of these analysis are
of some value and both furnish
basis from which some suggestions
can be secured. These, however, are
only two of several things that must
be considered.
There are certain conditions besides
the mechanical and chemical analysis
that are quite important when crop
adaptation and soil needs are to be
considered. In fact, it these condi-
tons are we'll understood and their
meaning correctly interpreted they
may reveal more than chemical and
mechanical analysis. Some OF these
conditions are enumerated below:
1st. 1t is necessary to know the
depth of the surface soil, and the
character of the subsoil. In any case
a change in the depth of the surface
soil would probably affect the sort of
crop best adapted to the soil, and
difference in the character Of the
subsoil would materially affect any
advice that might be given.
End. The position of the land, as
to whether it is high or low land, will
eliminate some crops that might 9th
erwise be recommended. Some crops

fertilizers will pay is for person to
try them on his own, or similar soils,
under similar conditions. This fact
is generally recognized, and in states
where the most extensive soil surveys
have been made, actual field expert
ments are being carried on by the
progressive farmers to determine
what fertilizers are paying invest
ments. To get farmers and others to
carry on the same line of work in
Western Washington this station will
prepare simple plans for a farmer,
grange, school or any interested or
ganization so that they can carry on
useful and instructive experiments
with very little trouble. These plans
call for half to an acre or more of
ground, indicate the crops to be
grown, and the kinds and amounts
of fertilizers to use. There are two
general plans; one is designed for a
one year test, and the other is for
test covering several years. The one
year test will serve only to indicate
what element il any is deficient in
the soil. The longer test will be of
greater value. To be of great value
fertility test should be continuous.
An agricultural chemist is authority
for the statement that 30 per cent or
more, of fertilizer experiments give
negative results, so too much must
not be expected. Many Of the most
valuable experiments now being car
ried on with fertilizers have given
poor, and often negative. results for
the first year, and often for the first
three or four years. Western Wash

3rd. The question of drainage is
sometimes very important. A poorly
drained soil is unfit for the produc-
ton of some crops, and warns up so
slowly that it is impractical to grow
some others.
4th. The previous condition OF the
land. By this is meant whether the
land was originally timbered or
prairie; the kind and character of
the natural vegetation; how long it
has been cropped; what kinds of
crops have been grown; and what
kinds, if any, and with what results
fertilizers have been used. It is easy
to see how these may be of great help
when studying any condition. The
character of the natural vegetation
on the soil, or adjoining soil, may
indicate quite clearly that certain
crops would be better adapted than
others. The other conditions, too,
are of consi derable value.
9Th. The crops that are giving the
best results in the locality. Certain
crops are known to grow best where
certain other crops grow WE'LL Any
popularity of the growth of any
plants, or any peculiar climatic con-
dition will be of interest and value
in arriving at a conclusion. When
advice is wanted of soil expert re-
garding any land the inquirer should
give a clear detailed account of the
character and history of the land in
question.
These things are mentioned in Or
der to show the factors that are valu-
able in determining the crops adapted
to soil, and help indicate the ferti-
lizer needs. The soil analysis are
valuable, but their value is too often
over estimated.
A chemical analysis gives the total
amounts OF the plant food elements
present in the soil. It tells what ele-
ments are absent, or are present in
too small amounts. 1t is known that
a certain amount of each element is
present in fertile soils, so we can say
from chemical analysis that such a
fertilizer would probably give good
results. This, however, is not an as
sured fact. Some soils may be very
rich in certain element. but this
element may become available to the
plant SO slowly that an application of
fertilizer carrying this element may
give very profitable returns. Again,
chemical analysis may show that a
soil is below normal in a certain ele-
ment. Thorough cultivation and
proper methods of handling, this eIe-
ment may become available TO the
plant as rapidly as 1t is necessary.
1t is clear then that an application
of fertilizer carrying this element
would give negative results. So we
see that while a chemical analysis
may give an indication of the soil
needs, it is by no means sure. Pres
emit methods of chemical analysis do
not give the amount of the plant food
in the soil that is available to the
plant. They give the total amount
present, so from a chemical analysis
it is possible to tell the soil needs
only in general way, and then the
