QUITE IMPORTANT
TO APPLY MANURE
First Step in Maintenance Of Pro-
ductive Capacity Of Soil
Affords Better TiIth.

Farm mi is of the products
of the North Dakota farm that Is often
neglected. Manure when properly ap-
piled gives good returns. 1t has been
found at the North Dakota experiment
station that manure has given q re-
turn Of $1.40 per load and that was
IN the heavy Red River valley soils.
To secure this result it was applied
to a cor crop, which 1t increased, as
we'll as the wheat crops that followed
it. Had it been applied directly to the
wheat these good results would likely
not have been secured. In fact, 1t
might have brought in the first crop a
decrease instead of the rs per cent in
crease.
At the Langdon substation it a
found that wheat following corn ma.
nured, ten loads to the acre. was
increased seven bushels more than
wheat on similar corr ground, but not
MANFRED. And the next year barley
grown on the same land was increased
~ bushels, and the good effects of
the manure will extend to one or two
mor crops.
The drier the climate the slower the
manure decays and sc the good effects
from it become available more slowly.
When plowed under for corn the soil
is we'll packed on to the manure, which
hastens its becoming available.
Pasture land that is to be plowed
up soon Is a good place to spread the
manure. 1t stimulates the grass, and
the manure decays some, so it is in
good condition for being worked into
the soil and for improving it when
plowed under. The pasture also has
the advantage that the AMI can be
spread on it at any time. Meadow that
is to be plowed up is also a splendid
place for applying the manure.
1t has been found that better re-
turns are secured from the manure
when light applications are made. Six
to eight loads per acre is a good
amount to apply.
The application of is the
cheapest means Of returning organic
or vegetable matter to the soil, and
the maintenance of a good supply of
decaying organic matter is the first
and most important step in the main
tenance Of the productive capacity Of
the soil. 1t gives the soil better filth.

eral elements of plant food and i'm

the soil, in addition to being a source
of nitrogen as a plant food.-North Da-
