Guard against mice and rabbits by
fist clearing away all litter, such as

for mice to spend the winter. Little
damage occurs in the cultivated or

prepared by the United States Department

Richness and fertility are often sup
posed to mean the same thing when
applied to soil, but there may be a
wide difference, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. The diff
ference is II that may mean success
or failure in crop production.
By fertility is meant the ability of
the soil to produce Il good crop. A
soil is rich if it contains a consider
able quantity of each of the elements
required by the plant in the PROCESS
Of growth. Unless, however, these
elements are available to the plant
and the physical conditions of the soil
are such as to promote plant growth,
the soil cannot be said to be fertile.
Certain elements are always available
to the plant; others must be acted
upon by certain substances under suit
able conditions to become available
or soluble.
Soils may be rendered infertile
through natural causes, such as leach
ing, and through artificial causes, such
as single cropping, improper rotation,
and the improper proportion of live
stock to crop production. One of the
principal methods of increasing soil
fertility is through addition of humus
in the soil, either by stable anu or
green crops plowed under.
Leaching May Waste Manure.
Too much of the fertilizing proper
ties of stable manure is wasted
either by teaching in the barnyard or
by evaporation when spread on the
land and left on the surface. If the
manure is spread and cannot be plOwed
under quickly, it should be diSked, I'M
less the ground is frozen. If manure
must be left on the surface of the
field, ii is much better left in piles and
spread just before ii is plowed un-
der. The effect Of stable manure On
the land is cumulative, and frequently
is more marked with the second crop
than with the first.
Green crops plOwed under provide
another source of soil improvement.
Such crops as peas, beans, clover and
alfalfa are among the best for sup
plying hunts to the soil. These crops
should be plOwed under in the soil so
as to have abundant opportunity TO
decay before the growing season be-
gins the following spring. If a legu-
minous crop annot be grown for
green manure, other crops, such as
oats, rye, barley, or even sorghum, may
be used.
If the required elements are not in
the soil or are not readily available,
the need should be supplied by com
mercial fertilizers. The composition

Of fertilizer used will depend upon the
requirements Of the crop to be grown
and upon the condition Of the soil
which is used for crop production. A
sugar beet crop, for instance, should
have abundant potash, while for a
wheat or corn crop attention should be
given to the nitrogen supply.
Fit Fertilizer to Soil Needs.
A complete fertilizer consists Of nj
trogen. phOspboric acid and potash.
Materials containing these elements
are mixed In different proportions for
different crops and for different soil
requirements. 1t frequently appears
that a complete fertilizer is not re-
CURED. For example, there may be
present in the soil an abundant sup
ply of available potash, but the sup
ply of nitrogen and phosphoric acid
may be deficient.
Under certain conditions commercial
fertilizers do not seem effective. This
may be due to the fact that the fer
tilizing elements are not used In proper
proportions, or II may bc due to the
physical conditions of the soil. The
greater benefits are obtained from com
mercial fertilizers when the soil Is
well supplied with humus. There
should, Of course, be a sufficient sup
ply Of moisture in the soil to dissolve
and hold in solution the plant foods
that are already present or that may
be- supplied In the form Of commercial
fertilizer.
