SOIL CHEMISTRY.
By !rfeor H. V. Tartar. Oiwwm Agricultural
Colli-ns.
Chemical investigations have shown
that all substances are made up of cer
tain simple forms of matter, such as
iron, aluminum and carbon, which are
called elements. In moat substances
these elements are combined in a more
or less complex form. Although some
eighty of these elementary forms of
matter have been discovered, only
about a dozen of these are found in
any quantity in plants. Carbon, hy
drogen, oxygen and nitrogen make up
about ninety-five per cent of the total
weight of all plants, i. e., their or
ganic portion, and are derived either
directly or indirectly from air and wa
ter, the nitrogen being assimilated by
the plant after fixation in the soil.
The remaining five per cent , of the
plant consists of mineral matter or
ash, the portion left when the plant is
burned, and is composed mainly of the
elements of iron, aluminum, calcium,
magnesium, phosphorus, potassium,
sodium, silicon, chlorine and sulfur.
These are all taken up by the plant
directly from the soil. Much investi
gation and experience has proven that
only four of these elements are' likely
to be deficient in a soil, namely, nitro
gen, potassium (generally expressed
as "potash") phosphorus, (usually ex
pressed as "phosphoric acid") and cal
cium, (or "lime," as it is generally
expressed.) These are often termed
the "critical" soil elements, and ra
the actual basis of all rl'mct fui tiliz
ers. It is singular to note that only very
small quantities of these plant foods
which are so essential to plant growth
are Soluble even in strong acids. Rich
soils contain approximately 0.20 per
cent of total nitrogen. Analysis of
the acid soluble mineral substance
will show about 0.10 to 0.15 per cent
of phosphorus (phosphoric acid), 0.30
per cent of potassium, (potash), and
0.50 per cent of calcium (lime). , The
figures show plainly that proper and
scientific methods of farming must be
practiced for the maintenance of the
fertility of even our richest soils.
The most important of these critical
soil elements is nitrogen. It is com
bined jvith other elements in the soil
humus (decaying animal and vegetable
matter). In the free state nitrogen
is a gas and in this form constitutes
three-fourths of the air. The total
nitrogen supply in the air over each
acre of the earth's surface, if avail
able to plants, would meet the needs
of a hundred-bushel crop of corn every
year for half a million years. Never
theless nitrogen in available form is
worth 18 to 20 cents a pound in the
fertilizer markets. The organic mat
ter in the soil is the nitrogen store
house from which plants derive their
supply. Constant removal by crops,
oxidation of organic matter in clean
cultivation as well as waste through
leaching, all assist in depriving the
soil of this essential element. Exper
ience has shown that under exhaustive
systems of farming the soil nitrogen
supply is easiest impaired. To add
available nitrogen to the soil in the
form of commercial fertilizers costs
from 18 to 20 cents a pound, which
make it too expensive for use on a
general farming scale. Experiments
have shown, however, that leguminous
crops, such as clover, vetch, and al
falfa, have power to obtain free ni
trogen from the air through the inter
vention of certain microscopic organ
isms which live in tubercles upon the
roots of these plants. Such crops add
nitrogen to the soil, and hence rota
tion with a leguminous crop is an in
expensive and efficient means of sup
plying this element to the soil and one
that is applicable to general farming.
The mineral plant foods, potassium,
phosphorus and lime, exis-t in the soil
in variuos forms: potassium often in
combination with quartz in the min
eral feldspar; phosphorus in combina
tion with iron, aluminum and lime as
phosphates; and lime often in the
form of silicate and carbonate (lime
stone). . These compounds are by
chemical processes, which ure encour
aged by tillage, converted into soluble
or available rorms wnicn can De as
similated by plants. The plarit can
only obtain these mineral elements
from the soil and when the supply be
comes deficient they must be furnished
through the addition of appropriate
fertilizers.
The fact that ordinary wood ashes
are so rich in potash as to be valuable
as fertilizer indicates that certain
plants withdraw large amounts of this
element from the soil. Six tons of
well cured alfalfa hay contain 150
pounds of potash, which would cost
about $7.50 if bought in the form of
a fertilizer in the open market. Pot
ash is usually stored in the seeds of
plants in relative abundance. During

plant growth this clomont looma to
aid materially in the building up of
the starches and augnrs of the plant.
Potassium may be supplied to the soil
by applications of muriate of potash,
sulfate of potash, or kainite.
Phosphorus is a chief component of
the seed and fruit of the plant. A
ton of wheat bran contains about 24
pounds of phosphorus. The nucleus of
every living coll of plants is rich in
phosphorus. This element is taken up
from the soil in the form of salts
called phosphates, but within the
plant it enters into the composition of
complex organic compounds. It may
be supplied to the soil in the form of
bone meal or phosphate rock. Dis
solved bone and acid phosphate are
readily soluble forms of phosphorus
obtained by treating bones or rock
phosphate with sulfuric acid and are
used when quick acting phosphate is
desired.
Lime is absolutely essential to the
normal growth and development of all
agricultural plants, but for grain
crops the amounts positively necessary
are not large. Legume plants are
heavy lime feeders. In the form of
carbonate, lime plays an important
part in keeping the soil neutral by
combining with the acids which devel
op in the decay of vegetable matter.
It is also a prerequisite for the proper
bacterial activity of the soil. Heavy
clay soils are made more friable by
lime applications, and on the other
hand, through its cementing action,
sandy soils are rendered more compact
and less leachy. Lime in the form of
carbonate seems to aid materially in
making other plant foods in the soil
more available. Land plaster (sul
fate of lime) has the property of ren
dering the potash in the soil more
available, hence the benefit generally
noted on applying this substance to
leguminous crops.
Concerning Oregon soils it may be
said that analyses of several hundred
samples from various parts of the
state prove them to be rich generally
from the chemical standpoint. A
table showing the average total nitro
gen and acid soluble plant tooa con
tent of our soils is herewith submitted
classifying the results of analyses
made at this station up to 1910 under
three divisions.

The soils of Western and Southern
Oregon are generally rich in nitrogen
because of their high content of or
ganic matter which, is due to climatic
conditions favorable to humus forma
tion. These soils are almost univers
ally rich in phosphorus. The lime
content of Southern Oregon soils is
usually high while some of the Wil
lamette valley soils are apparently de
ficient in this element. These soils
are in the main quite well supplied
with potash. The semi-arid soils of
Eastern Oregon, on the other hand,
do not have the good supply of humus
and nitrogen of the soils of the West
ern part of the state. This fact is
due undoubtedly to the difference in
climatic conditions. The Eastern soils
are rich in their content of mineral
plant foods.

H1FLKS In fashion count
for a good deal those days.
It (h nt the h on so n of the
year when nil maimer of
clever tulnKS are Invented
to catch the eyo of thono
who coiiKiatuliito tht'iiiHelvea that
tholr shopping In finished. This Is a
ruse of the merchants to empty the
purse of the buyer.
Business, uuist proceed, even though
the weather Is hot and vacation ttiuo
Is at hnud. Also the dreHHiunkers
swing the fashions around, here and
there, to Interest their patrons and to
get away from routine. In the first or
the ocasoii, when the new clothes are
brought over from Purls, the models
are copied by the hundred to an
alarming extent. Now It Is time to In.
trod nee Innovations, and ho we see
quaint nnd attractive things In every
gathering of women. It might be said
with truth and emphasis that the pub
lic Is rt'sponalbla for this variety of
fashions more tnnn the dressmakers.
It Is hard to got one of the latter
to depart from the French models or
the crinoline patterns which she bus

her own resources Bho enn do remark
ably good designing, but for ine rea
son that she does not explain sho
never gives herself a chance for Indi
vidual experiment. No matter how
many patrons she tins, she follows (or
each a model Hint she brought from
abroad, If she Is a big Importer, or
she copies a sketch In n fiifhlon book
If sho Is a little dressmaker.
Blue Serna Gowns.
It Is rather wonderful to observe
the popularity of the one piece suit of
thin blue serge. It has been amazing
ly developed In the last four weeks,
and has all manner of Indlvidiinl
touches that make It worth while. ' It
Is a good kind of gown for every
woman to Include In her wardrobe.
It may not stand for any one occasion,
but may serve for half a hundred. It
la Just this kind of gown that Is avail
able for all changes of climate and
unexpected tripfi.
It can be worn with or without a
coat, and In many ways pays fur Itself
over and over.
The favorite model Is an Empire
skirt, more or less wldu at the hem,
according to our new measurements,
which run from a yard and a half to
two yards and a qunrtor. The pnnol
down the back Is rarely eliminated
and the fastening Is In front. There
may be folds of tho serge or surah or
taffeta, either In blue or black, to cut
off the length, and If one Is averse to
a narrow skirt, fashion allows an In
serted box plait at each side from
hips down.
The skirt, rising moderately on the
bodice. Is stitched to It with throe
rows of machine niching. It Is hung
on a four-Inch band of r,llk belting,
which Is fastened with hooks nnd eyes
In front. The bodice Is also attached
to this belting, which preserves a neat
look around the waist, although the
skirt does not curve In to fit. Tho cut
of the bodice Is much fuller than It
has been. The short k'mono aleevos
are used and the under-arm senm Is
long, but there are tucks or plaits that
run over the shoulder, or begin at tho
waist and make for fullness over the
bust nnd under arms. The arrange
ment of the neck Is a matter of Indi
vidual preference, and there Is ftl
ways an undersleeve, or the simulta
tion of one at tho elbow.
One of the most attractive of these
sultB worn by a girl who knows how
to dress has a plain skirt with panel
down front and back, nnd a flve-lndf
hem of the material finished with
rows of black silk stitching. It is
about three Inches higher than the
normal waist line and curved very
slightly at the sides. The bodice is
folded in to It, stitched down, and has
a long wedge of white mallne net In
the shape of a vest that runs Into a
bfgh-boned stock.
Cotton-Figured Net.
One of the materials that have come
into being at the beginning of the hot
weather Is the figured cotton net that
we bad with us several seasons ago.
It Is usually In blue and white, ak
though one can find It In two or three
other color combinations. Blouses are
made of It to wear over low silk
slips or fine muslin corset covers run
through with colored ribbon.
These net blouses, you know, are
quite the fashion and are Immensely
popular for warm days, with suits
that have a dressy atmosphere. Some
women wear them In the morning
with plain linen suits, but they look
more fit In the afternoon or for lunch
eon. The coarse-figured ones are made In
kimono style or with the revived
armhole and shoulder seam. They
have a double-plaited frill down the
front, finished with a hem of blue net
or cluny lace, and are fastened with
white crochet buttons down the front.
The high collar Is made in folds with
a turnover band at the top of heavy
lace. The sleeves are finished with a
tight folded cuff fastened with cro
chet buttons at the back.
The net la also used for over
drapery. It takes the place In soma
gowns of chiffon cloth or marquisette,
lino good-looking gown Is of very thin
blue mesHallne made with a plain em
pire slip with the nut draped Into a
long tunic which opens In front, tin
the light side crossed well over the
loft, and Is bordered with a half Inch
plaiting of blue satin ribbon, which
matches the figure In the lift.
The short-wntsted bodice I unusii
nUy full for thexa days, has n deep,
round gutmpe of thin French lace
which only extends to the collar bout).
The empire girdle la made from three
hnmlM of box plaited ribbon finished
with a twisted circle of blue ribbon In
front and two long ends. There ars
undursleevus of Inco which bung free
of the elbow nnd are shaped to a
rounlod point at the backhand tho up
per sleeves of the figured net ars
edged with the plaited blue ribbon.
As an economtcnl suggestion It
would be well to think of this not a a
covering for an evening gown tliat
needs repairing and that has seen Its
best days. Stripped of Its gewgaws
and reduced to a simple slip, It could
mm
be covered with figured net nt small
expense. One email point would be
wise for every woman to remember,
that tho rlrnpery of today does not
come to tho foot lino of tho lower
skirt. It mops about six Inchon
above. It Is usual y looped up in some
IiikIiIoii at the side and Is often fin
ished with a three-Inch band of col
ored or figured lloral satin or a rucfi
int. White Wash Frocks.
It has been repeated so often thnt
all white wash frocks are not In first
fashion, that one Is apt to become
tiresome by referring to It. However,
it seems worth while to say that a
compromise has been effected be-,
twoen fashion and tradition by the In
vention of charming gowns of whits
voile and marquisette which have all
the earmarks of the best lingerie
frocks and are trimmed with dashing
lines of color to give them a novel
effect.
There seems no end to tho fashion
for eyelet embroidery, and It Is used
more on vollo and marquisette than
on muslin, possibly becauso one treos
more of the former fabr'.cs than of
the latter. Plain white wash material
Is not even used for everyday frocks.
It has glvon way to striped muslins
In violet and white, brown and ecru,
black and white, blue and white.
There are many other combinations,
both in stripes, In pin dots and In
circles, and one sees a dozen of these
gowns to one of the old-fashioned
plain white lawn.
A dainty style is shown In the IN
lustration, made In -cambric; groups
of fine tucks with strips of Insertion
in between form trimming at top of
.bodice; lace is used for edging, and
ribbon Is threaded through Insertion
and finished off with bows.
A piece of insertion is taken round
at about the knees, ribbon is threaded
through and arranged In loopy bows
at the right side of front; pieces of
Insertion Dolhted at the ends are let
In at Intervals; a frill of soft lace fin
ishes the foot.
Materials required: Four yards 88
inches wide, about live yards Inser
tion, six yards ribbon, 2 yards wlds
and 2i yards narrow lace.
