OREGON CITY COURIER FRIDAY, JUNE 18, 1909 Making Money On the Farm II. Maintaining Fertility By C. V. GREGORY. Author of "Home Course In Modern Agriculture" Copyright. 1909, by American Pnu Association fV TOT all lands need tile drainage, J but there are none on whlcb I l the problem of maintaining fertility Is not an Important one. Fertility of tbo land in its broad est sense means its ability to produce large crops. One of the important factors influ- enclng fertility is the amount of plant food in the soil. Ten elements, car bon, hydrogen, oxygen, calcium, mag nesium, iron, sulphur, nitrogen, potus slum and phosphorus, are necessary to the growth of plants. From 00 to 05 per cent of the dry matter of plants la made up of carbon, oxygen and hy drogen, whlcb are obtained from air and water. Of the others only three, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, are used in such large quantities that the supply in the boII is likely to become exhausted. These three are usually spoken of as the essential plant foods. Amount of Plant Food In Soili. . These plant foods are present in varying amounts In all soils, in many cases it is necessary to increase the supply by the use of ebmmerctal fer tlllzers. The real need of most soils, . however, is not the addition of more of these materials, but the Judicious use of those already there. It is esti mated that there is enough phosphor us in the upper seven inches of soil In the Mississippi .valley to raise hundred bushels of corn to the acre every year for Blxty years and enough potassium to last 000 years at the same rate. Much of this phosphorus and potassium is combined with otber materials in such a form that It Is un available for the use of the plants. One of the principal problems of tbe farmer, then, Is to make this stored fer tility available. One of the most effective means of doing this is by keeping the soil plen tlfully supplied with humus. Humus Is the name given to decaying organic matter in the soil. It Is the humus that gives the dark, rich color to soils. It leaves that "brown streak In tbe furrow" that farmers have long re garded as an indication of fertility, Humus gives the soil a spongy texture and greatly Increases Its water holding capacity. It also makes the soil lighter and warmer. Soils which contain large mounts of humus do not -bake or become cloddy easily. Tbey are mel low and respond readily to cultivation. Humus contains considerable nitrogen and furnishes a home for bacteria, which aid in making plant food avail able. Certain acids are also formed In tbe decaying of humus that aid in making the phosphorus and potas sium available. It might almost be said thnt the chief problem of main taining fertility Is the problem of keep ing the soil supplied with humus. Maintaining the Humu 8upply. Probably the best way of maintain ing this humus supply is by the liberal use of barnyard munure. The surplus straw should be used for bedding, so as to save all the liquid portion and add to the bulk of tbe manure. Shred ded fudder is also good for this pur pose The manure should be hauled JHO. Ill AOOTTMULiTION OF UANUHB. to the land as fast as formed. When it is allowed to decay in tbe buruyard much of the nitrogen 1b lost, and ralna falling upon it also wash out other ele ments. The manure spreader Is an Implement that should bo found In every barnyard. The manure can be loaded direct from the stables to the spreriler at almost all seasons of the year and spread in an even layer upon tbe Held. With a spreader (ho manure can be inado to cover twice as much ground, so that the whole farm can be gone over oftener. While barnynrd mnnuro is undoubt edly one of the best means of main taining fertility, It canuot always be had. Many farmers, because of their location near markets which demand certalu crops, flud it more prolltable to supply those crops than to raise live stock. Others prefer grain farming because it is less confining. Such farm ers must have some method of main taining fertility which does not depend primarily upou manure. The Vlu of Clovtr. The best substitute for manure Is clover. Clover supplies an abundance vt ultrogeu, the most rapidly ued of Handling Mail at the Largest Electri cal Plant. In all large plants the handling of mall matter, blueprints and shop or ders is of very great Importance, npoed and safe delivery being essen tial. Boys cannot be trusted with this work and for men to carry tho mall from building to building is too la borious and slow. Overhead carrier systems are out of the question where the plant is spread over a large acre age. At the Schnectady plant of the Gen eral Electric Company, where tons and tons of mall are handled every the three essential elements. Three flonrtbs of tbe air Is made up of nl Jrogen. Clover and other leguminous trops are able to get nitrogen from this source by means of bacteria which live on their roots. These bacteria change the nitrogen of the air Into ni trates, a form in which it can be used by the plants. Fully one-third of the nitrogen collected by the clover plant Is left In the soil in the roots and stub ble. One crop of clover In a four year rotation will furnish nearly enough ni trogen for the remaining three crops In the rotation. This Is a much cheaper form of ob taining nitrogen than by purchasing in commercial fertilizers at 10 'to cents a pound. It Is much more profit able to keep the nitrogen supply fairly constant by the continued use of a ro tation with legumes than to add large amount at one time. Nitrogen the form of nitrates Is readily soluble, and every rain washes some of it out of the soil. This is not true of tbe otber essential elements to any marked extent Too liberal a supply of nitro gen at one time tends also to promote too rapid leaf growth at tile expense of fruit or grain. The stubble and roots of the clover, together with the cornstalks and otber rubbish, will do a great deal to keep up the humus supply. In addition to VIO. IV LOADING MANURK BPBEADEB. this, If no manure at all Is available, some humus may have to be supplied from some other source. This Is espe cially true If tbe soli Is naturally poor in humus. One of the simplest ways to supply this Is by green manuring. This means tbe turning under of green crop, such as clover, cowpeas or some otber legume. This supplies both humus and nitrogen. The best time to plow under such a crop is In the fall, so that it will have time to decay be fore spring. A large mass of unde- cayed material plowed under In the spring checks tbe upward movement of moisture and Is liable to make the land Bour. Another method of adding to the .hu mus supply is by mowing a crop of clover about baying time and letting It lie on the ground. The second crop can be cut In the same way or used for fall feed or for seed. "Clover SicH" Boll. After clover has been grown for a considerable length of time, especially If much has been plowed under for green manure, the land Is liable to be come "clover sick." This is caused by an excess of acid In the soil. This acid can be neutralized by tbe applica tion of ground limestone. Caustic or quicklime Is not bo good as limestone, since It burns up large quantities of humus and In general Is too violent in Its action. Lime has another advan tage on clay soils In that It causes the particles to adhere together In larger masses, thus making the soil more porous. Tbe usual rate of application Is from twenty to forty bushels to the acre. With the application of lime, as well as with the adoption of any other new method, It is best to try it on a small scale flint. Then If It proves profitable its use can be extended. The Judicious use of clover or some other legume will effectively solve the humus and nitrogen problems. There remains tbe question of tbe potassium and phosphorus supply. Clover also aids with these. Tho humus formed from It helps to dissolve tbe unavail able materials and prepare them for the uso of the plant As stated before, there Is enough potassium In the upper soven Inches of tbe average prairie Boll to last 000 years under tbe most Intensive culture and enough phos phorus for fifty years. Clover changes this seven Inches Into twice as many feet Clover roots go down ten or a dozen feet or farther. Alfalfa roots go down twenty feet or more. These deep roots bring up minerals from the lowor layers of soli and leave them where the shallower rooted grain crops can get them. Making Fertility Available. Gypsum, or land plaster, has a con siderable effect In making potassium and phosphorus available. Applied at the rate of 500 or 000 pounds per acre, It will often Increase crop yields con siderably. It also has a beneficial ef fect ou alkali Bolls. Vse one or two bushels to the acre. l'robably the most effective way of making phosphorus, potassium or otb er plant foods available Is by tillage. Yeiiieut and thorough cultivation, keeping tho soil fine and mellow, fa- ors tho chemical processes by whlcb locked up plant food Is mado available. It must be remembered, however, thnt the faster these materials are lib erated tbe sooner will the supply be come exhausted. When rotation with legumes, tillage and the application of, lime and gypsum no longer produce satisfactory results It Is a sign that there Is a lack of potassium or phos phorus, or both, lu the soli. Phos phorus Is more liable to become scanty In amount since the supply Is smaller. Bonemeal and ground phosphate rock are the best forms lu which to apply this material. The former is quicker lu Its notion, but considerably more ex pensive. Potassium Is usually bought tn the form of muriate or sulphate. month and the shop orders and blue prints for 16,000 employees run up In to millions, a pneumatic tube system "shoots" the mall from the different oflleos to the mailing department and to the various buildings throughout the works. Large automobiles hurry tho mall matter to and from the city postnilleo. The steel tubes are laid under ground and the carriers are shot through them by compressed air. small motors keep a continual supply of compressed air on hand. The speed with which shop orders can be de livered in this method Is astonish- COUNTY COURT Conlinued from page 3 p. J. Holm 14.00 Perry Stager . . , 2.00 H. B. Davis 9.00 N. M. Tracy 13.00 H. D.
