SOILS IMPROVE RAPIDLY

That soils can be improved rapidly
in fertility has been demonstrated at
the Trumbull County Experiment
Farm Four years ago this farm was
admittedly a poor one At that time
a system of drainage was installed.
The land has since been lined, and
fertilized with acid phosphate in Ii
beral quantities. The result is wheat
crop this year that will exceed 80
bushels per acre. In the meadow,
clover is growing thick and tail, where
in former years the vegetation was
mostly weeds and timothy. The i'm
provement in soil fertility conditions
was made possible by the Investment
of a certain amount of capital but the
investment has paid well. "The man
who cannot afford to drain, lime and
fertilize all in one year should be en-
couraged by this demonstration to go
ahead and do each of them as rapidly
as possible" says Myron A. Bachtell,
soil specialist of the College of Agri-
culture.
