Use Charcoal
Growing
No Food Vulue,
But Aids Plouts

Growing Importance Is being
placed in the use Of charcoal to
aid growth Of lawns, gardens,
flowers and shrubs. While char
coal has no food value, its bene-
fits to plant life are due to its
ability to collect and conserve
ammonia in the soil. Used with
commercial or animal fertilizer,
charcoal promote vigorous.
healthy growth of all types of
plants.
A commercial variety of charcoal
is on the market, sold in 50-pound
bags under the trade name Of Or
CHAIR. 1t is especially prepared
by an Auburn concern in form
adaptable for gardening uses.
Andy Orsvetz, sales manager Of
the firm. explains the action Of his
product as follows;
when plant food, such as bone
meal is put into our gardens,
bacteria starts to work and break
down its protein. The first pro-
duct of this breaking down, or
rotting, is ammonia in its gas
form. This gas, being extremely
volatile, easily escapes into the
air. 1t is at this stage where
charcoal, with its ability to absorb
great quantities of gases, has its
value as a soil conditioner.
Observe the action of the roots
where there are pieces of char
coal in the soil. You will find
that the roots are attracted by
the charcoal and cling to it to
get the ammonia it absorbs for
them. All fertilizers form ann
monia as the break down. 1t is
the ammonia forming capacity Of
these fertilizers that we pay for.
Therefore. it is obviously advan-
tageous to thoroughly mix Or
CHAIR Conditioning Charcoal with
fertilizer before putting it into
the soil.
I'm addition to its ammonia
absorbing qualities, Or-Charr
charcoal absorbs and neutralizes
toxic gases and obnoxious odors
in fertilizers and prolongs the
benefits of any commercial ferti-
lizer."
Charcoal for stock feeding and
for camp-stove cooking is also
marketed by the Auburn firm.
