HuHus, The Soil Conditioner.

HuhluS, iH6 oUii IUHulliohti.
Humus makes the soil darker in
color.
Humus is the chief source OF supply
Of nitrogen.
Humus makes the soil more mellow
and granular.
Humus permits air to enter heavy
clay soil more readily,
Humus acts as a sponge and in
creases the water holding capacity oI
the soil.
Humus furnishes food for countless
numbers OF bacteria that are beneficial
for plant growth.
Humus binds together the soil part
icles and thus prevents the soil from
drifting by wind and washing by rain,
Humus when decaying, makes avail,
able plant food in the soil.
Humus, the bulletin name for decay
ing vegetable matter, such as turned
under straw, cornstalks, barnyard man
ure and green-manure crops, is the
first thing to be farmed out Of the soil.
Without the life, body" and water,
holding capacity humus gives to the
land, the soil becomes more and more
like an ash heap.
One reason why bsrnyard manure is
the fineest fertilizer known to man is
because Of the vegetable matter it con-
tains in addition to the chemical ele,
ments it gets from animal waste.
Most western farms need a restora-
ton Of humus more than any other soil
treatment. Western soils generally,
are still strong 10 mineral elements.
AS crops are taken off the land, the
supply Of humus in the soil becomes
smaller unless such material as straw,
cornstalks, barnyard manure, and green
manure crops is added to replace that
which is lost. All matter Of this kind
produced on the farm that cannot be
utilized Tor feed, ought TO be returned
10 the soil to supply humus. Com
stalks and strsw ought not be burned.
Worked into the soil, they will decay
and form humus.
It is the same way with the stable
manure, as every good farmer knows.
II there is not enough OF such farm
waste to maintain the supply Of humuS
in your soil, the blowing under OF a
good green manuring crop will do the
business.
The best crops to plow under iol
green manuring in the Middle West
and Southwest are cowpeas, sweet
clover, soy beans, red clover, rye and
sorghums.
Cowpeas may be planted in wheat
stubble after wheat harvest and plowed
under in the fall before frost and the
field planted to corn the next season,
BY this method a good green-manuring
crop can be grown in average season
without the loss Of a crop.
On bottom soils we'll supplied with
moisture cowpeas may safely be plant
ed in corn at the last cultivation and
plowed under for green manure altel
the corn is gathered.
Sweet clover is one Of the best crops
to grow on a soil that is in low state
Of fertility, for the purpos. Of adding
humus to the soil. A good crop 0.
sweet clover will add as much organic
matter when plowed under as ar
application Of 10 tons Of barnyard ma
nure.
Sweet clover should be plowed un.
der when in full bloom. At this stage
Of growth it will supply the mixmuu
amount Of organic matter and yet the
plants will be tender and decay rapidly

perhaps they all noticed at once
that he was a rider of exceptional
merit.
His peculiar style of riding a
horse evoked comment even from
those who knew nothing of
horses. He sat far forward, his
knee held tightly just behind the
shoulder muscles of the horse, his
little body tilted forward until he
really sat on the base of the
horses neck, his head alongside

for him another following. In his
first season he was a popular idol
and in his first appearance in the
east the crowds went crazy over
him. He was tied in a contract
that guaranteed him a princes in
