INCREASING SOIL FERTILITY

Is taken to puverize and repack the seed bed, may
result in a crop failure. This is because the loose
soil dries out and capilarrty is broken, preventing
the furrow slice from securing moisture from the
subsoil rapidly enough to sustain the growing crop
Now is the time to begin thinking about ne&t
seasons farming, purchasing seed, etc.
Why not discontinue much knocking ana get
out on farm and enjoy yourself, and forget about
al the mean things YOU have stored in your system
Work is an excellent cure for mean disposition.
Ioosening the soil by deep blowing favors the ap-
sorpton and storing of moisture but it rains 40 not
come in time, the deep plowed soil suffers from
drought more quickly than that which has been
plowed shallow.
Shallow soils should not be plowed deep enough
to bring up too much Of the subso at one time, DuU
gradually pillow little deeper each time for several
years if too much of the subsol is brought to the
surface at one time it will reduce the productive
ness for year two, until the inert maCter IS
decomposed and mixed with the live fertile SOIL.
T. is advisable to vary the depth of blowing in
heavy land in order to break up the furroW sole'
but it is just as important to pillow sandy soils the
same depth year after year, in order to produce a
more impervious condition which will prevent too
rapid loss of soil moisture.
It is unusually best to apply manure as surface
dressing and mix it with the soil by decaying II
it is desired to mellow and deepen the soil it is bet
ter to bury the deeply Light sandy soil
derives the greater benefit from manure When
spread on the surface and covered with a shallow
furrow. Coarse trashy manure should be covered
deeply because it will decay better, owing to the
greater quantity Of moisture
The purpose of green manure (green vegitatlon)
is to deepen the soil and supply humus so it should
be we'll covered, especially when the growth is
heavy.
1t is best to pillow early when blowing under a
green crop or a heavy coat of manure, so the or
ganic matter will have ample time to decay and the
soil become settled before seeding time. With good
seed planted in the SOIL few simple factors largely
determine the strength of termination the stand
and the yield of the crops, also the quality OF grain
produced. These factors moisture heat and air.
All fertile soils contain abundant supply OF
plant food elements, but the compounds in which
these elements exist usually in unsoluble
condition, provision Of nature which prevents the
wasting of plant food and insures the pernanency
of soil fertility and the continued productveness
of the soil for ages-+f does his part towards
maintaining it's filth and fertility.
The plant food of the soil is gradually made
available by the action of weathering agents which
the rock PARTICLES of which the soil is largely
composed to break down and dsintegrate and by
the action of the soil bacteria which assist in the
process of decay. Thus chemical changes take place
