STUDENT WRITES
On, INTERROGATION
contributes Interesting Es.
say on Process of Nitrifi.
cation and Benefits to the
Soil.

Modification is one of the mos
important subjects the farme
mas to deal with. The technics
meaning of nitrifcation is tn
changing Of heterogeneous organ
IL matter (as manure) or Ammo
ma compounds into nitrates
r.ant food.
Nitrogen is one of the three
main essentials necessary t(
ants. We may furnish the nee.
cary potast and phosphorus
f"'I, but if there is no availal!.
/ 'rogen they will not do the
liant any good. So we see that
f'trogen is the greatest natur%!
element which the farmer has To
deal with. And nitrifcation is
the method by which nitrogen
Gus fertilizers are made available.
1t Is very essential that the far
mer understand that method.
Notification is caused by mic
10 organisms or bacceria. And
as there are two kinds, one good
and one harmful. 1t is neces
sary that we know which is best
and assist that one. The aerol;c ;
germs are the ones necessary to
nltrltlcatiOil. The anaerotic is
the one We 90 not want as the! |
cause identification which is
opposite to notification.
There are six essentials neces-
sary tor the welfare of the aero
bic micro organisms. First, there
should be food for them. And
manure is the best food. Sec
ond. there should be a good sup
ply OF oxygen. To provide fol o
this the ground should be We'll b.
broken and narrowed until mel y
low. Third, a good supply OF
moisture should be maintained. ,
Fall blowing and turning under d
stalks will increase moisture :
content. Fourth, they need a fav- /
orable temperature. The bacteria ,
cannot thrive in cold damp ma !
tured soil. Water should not {
stand on land. Fifth, there ;
should be an absence OF strong
sunlight. These bacteria car s
not thrive in a hot soil, there
fore we should keep mulch on
the surface in order to protect
them from direc. sunlight.
Sixth, the presence Of son e
basic compound is very neces-
sary. Some alkaline is needed
t, counteract The hume acid in
the soil. Hunlc atII IS formed
by the decay Of hunus, and tie
bacteria cannot thrive in acld
soils. So we find it very neceS-
sary to provide this basic e!e'
ment. Lime is. a COCA base or
a:kili. These essentials are eaSl'
" provided. In fact the great
err part are supplied by nature.
The basic element must be pro-
yided but the cost of this is very
low, Think of the low cost OF
calcium carbonate (ground lime
stone) and how fast and easily
it can be placed on the soil and
the value derived therefrom. 1t
costs $500 per ton. The food
must also be provided but think ,
how easily a small amount OF
manure could be provided each
year.
Next we want to consider a
few common methods of promo
ting notification and the cost
that would be incurred. First,
we want to provide good drain.
are. Every farmer knows that
to produce good crops all surplus
water must be removed Ana
by putting in a little more time
and VI few more dollars the best
underground drainage can be
provided. This removes under
ground water and gives a better
