From Rock Dust
To Good Farm Soil

How farm soil got It's color-black
brown, red-instead of being white as
the original rocks were when crushed,
is told by A. Floyd Heck, soils pro-
lessor at the State College of Wash
ington, talking over the radio broad
caster K F A E one night. Listen in
some Monday, Wednesday or Friday
night about g. on $50 meter wave
length.
"In the beginning" he said, when
the little stones or rock particles Of
the soil were first formed the soil was
probably almost white. If you grind
a rock to powder that will be light in
color even if the rock was dark. In
our great western country we often
find pockets of this fine rock dust or
rock flour. sometimes called volcanic
ash. This is usually very light in col
or and is made up entirely of rock
particles, small stones or dust
But, you say, our soils are not
white. No, they are usually rather
dark, the color coming from the or
ganic matter in the soil. Where does
this come from, you ask. Centuries
ago, in the beginning of the world, all
kinds of herbs and grasses and trees
were caused to grow, each yielding
seed after its kind. Our present knowl-
edge of creation leads us to believe
that these prehistoric plants as well as
those all down through the hundreds
of centuries of time, have been formed
from the dust of the ground by taking
from the dust the plant foods which
they have needed
Nature, as we know, is a process
of continuous change. Nothing Is per.
manent. Even the stones are being
slowly washed away. So 1t is with
these plants. After they have grown
and matured they fall to Mother
Earth, who again receives them and
covers their remains within her bos-
ON. BY this process we are enabled
to understand how, as from dust they
have come, so to dust they must sure
ly 60.
The remains OF these plants which
mingle with Mother Earth give the
color to our soils. You may be sur
prised when tell you that no more
than or per cent of the soil Is or
ganic matter. And this surprise will
be even greater when you stop to con-
slider that nature has been many hun
dreds of centuries placing this ma
terial in our soils for U.S.
Notwithstanding the fact that ma
ture has been so long time at it, and
that this small bit of organic matter
Is by far the most valuable part of the
soil. man has removed from the soil
in the short space of one farming gen.
GRAFTON almost third of its organic
matter, thus robbing Mother Earth of
her heritage and at the same time one
of her most valuable treasures. For
this organic matter carries with it the
soil nitrogen. the most precious ele-
ment of plant food when measured In
terms of dollars and cents"

Fowls sometimes pluck feathers
from themselves and from each other,
which is often caused by too close con-
finement, by the presence of insect
pests, or by improper feeding. When
some of the fowls of flock have
formed the habit slightly, wide range
with change of diet, including a
plentiful supply of animal feed, AMI
freedom from insect pests, will usu-
ally correct the evil. Above all see
that the fowls have plenty of induce
ment to exercise. If the habit be-
comes well formed 1t Is very trouble
some and may necessitate the killing
of some of the fowls In order to stop It.

Spokane Farmers Change Variety
Of Wheat.

A number of Spokane county farm
ers, through the advice of County

many communities than other varie.
