SOIL FERTILITY

One of the best paying jobs that a
farmer can do is to improve his soil
fertility No soil is so rich that its
richness cannot be improved, and
any fertility that can be added to any
soil on the farm will more than pay
for Itself in increased yields per acre
and increased net returns from the
money and labor expended.
The richest of soils if planted to
one crop or one class of crops con-
tinuously for any number of years Will
gradually decrease in its yields per
acre each year unless some fertility
is added each year in the way of ma
nure or other fertilizer. Now If this
soil is kept fertilized SO that these
yields are increasing every year, as
they should, instead of decreasing,
the net returns are bound to be great
er, providing good judgment is used
in securing and applying the fertilizer,
and the value of the land is also in
creased instead of decreased
Good manure is one of the most eco
nomical fertilizers for irrigated land,
but the supply on most farms is not
sufficient to cover all OF the irrigated
plow land as system of crop rota-
tion should be applied that will build
up the soil instead of tearing it down,
and even if manure is put on system
of crop rotation will prove to be a
great benefit to the soil On dry
farming land the best way to add to
the fertility of the soil is to summer
fallow, plow under green manure crops
such as rye, clover or wheat, and a
system of crop rotation.
In planning the rotation it should be
SO planned for each field that there
will be ample feed each year for all
livestock on the farm, and it is bet
ter to have a surplus than shortage
of feed. Some of the surplus should
be carried over each year, especially
on dry farms, and If there is too great
a surplus more livestock should be
added for there is more profit in turn
ing the crops into meat than into
cash.
There are many rotations and sys-
TENS of rotations varying in length
from to 80 years, so it is hard to
plan a rotation that would be suitable
for very large number OF farms be-
cause the local conditions and require
ments of most farms vary, and the
different soil requirements call for dif-
ferent systems of rotation.
Anyone interested can have rota-
ton planned for them by writing to
the Fremont County Farm Bureau or
to the County Agricultural Agent in
Canon City, stating their requirements
and local conditions.

and hire manager. Whenever the
farmer has any livestock to sell he
notifies the manager and as soon as
enough stock has been reported to
make a shipment, cars are ordered
and the shipment goes through. This
system of marketing is increasing the
quality and quantity of livestock where
ever it is used. 1t grows in favor
rapidly when the farmer becomes ac-
quainted with it.
A report on recent shipment of
cattle 10 Denver from the Western
Slope shows that the farmers receiv.
