CROPS THAT ROB THE FARM.
Farmer Must Manage to Restore Fer
tility That Has Been Exhausted.

Prepared by United States department OF
agricultural
II IL estimated that every ton Of cow
pea hay taken from the farm the
manure OF which IL not returned to the
soil robs Il Of SI.96 worth OF fertility
II bought In the form OF commercial
fertilizer; ton ~ cotton seed. $3.50:
an acre OF corn producing ffty hush
els, both stalk and grain. sis5G; the
grain alone. $3.50: an acre Of oats pro
ducing thlrty.five bushels removes In
the entire crop Sl1.33 and Si.72 for the
grain alone.
In many cases exhaustion Of the soil
by cropping has gone on until the farm
responds reluctantly to the many
drafts made upon Il. The farmer must
manage 10 restore this fertility. No
better method OF doing this can be
found than 10 keep enough stock on
the farm to utilize the pasturage Of
idle lands and much Of the surplus
grain and forage produced The stock
should be kept under sheds and In sta
oles when possible and an abundance
Of bedding furnished TO absorb the
liquids as well as TO add to the bulk OF
the manure heap.
The roots and stubble OF crops al
ways restore something to the soil.
With such crops as clover, cowpeas or
beans approximately 30 per cent OF the
manurial value OF the crop Is kept In
the soil. When such crops are har'
vested for hay and fed to good farm
stock and the manure Is returned TO
the land so 10 90 per cent OF the entire
fertllizing value IL kept on the farm.
At the same time the full feeding
value Is obtained.
Farm manure should be handled
with great care. II should never be
left In the open yard or piled In the
field for any length OF time. as much
Of its plant food will be leached out.
Neither should II be stored loose I'M
der sheds. but II should be packed
down and kept wet enough TO prevent
heating, which would drive on nitro
gen. This tremendous loss from i'm
proper handling explains why farmers
find It necessary TO use such large
quantities OF manure TO derive much
benefit from II. II win be observed
that even when manure Is stored In a
shed there Is loss. BY covering the
manure heap with substances like or
binary loan, sawdust or wheat straw
much loss may be prevented and the
stack Of manure greatly increased
Loan will absorb about thirteen
pounds OF nitrogen per ton Of 1000
pounds. sawdust about eight pounds
and wheat straw nearly four pounds.
