W *o¿M w Hall, Friday In an article written some time ago the causes o f decreased soil fertility in the Willamette Valley were’ explained, and now we come to the remedies. The causes were given as follow s: Constant cropping, loss and improper use o f stable manure, failure of the soil to hold the proper moisture supply, loss o f fertile surface soil by washing, etc., exhaustion o f elements favorable to the devel opment o f necessary soil organ isms and loss o f nitrogen by drainage water or denitrifica tion. The remedies will be dis cussed in the follow ing para graphs. The evils o f constant cropping may be elimated by a system of crop rotation. Farmers are rap idly coming to realise this tact, which accounts for the increased nse o f clover in this region. Clo ver is a legume, like peas, beans, alfalfa and vetches, and these legumes have the power o f fixa tion o f tree nitrogen from the air, thus actually providing the soil with this valuable fertilising ele ment. Aside from this im port ant consideration, the roots o f m ost legumes go deeper into the soil than d o the roots of other plants. This enables them to obtain moisture and plant foods which the shallow-rooted plants cannot reach. Since leguminous plants are themselves composed CALL TO INDIANA Some time ago the Graphic t nounced that a book tor tering Ion been opened at this office and an invitation w as extended t o afl to come in and enroll their names.

Of course, these plants remove certain other plant foods from the soil while snpplying nitrogen; hence they should be rotated with other Crops, such as grains, grasses, vegetables, etc. When grass is sown for a year or tw o, the effect is very beneficial, since the sod formed helps to prevent the loss o f moisture and plant foods through evaporation. It is a dif ficult matter to give a specific table o f rotation which will ap ply to all conditions, for each farmer best knows the peculiari ties o f his own soil, and for that reason is best fitted to work oat the best system o f rotation for his own particular needs. Although many fanners are realizing the value o f sthble ma nure as a fertilizer, a large part o f them do not, and as a consequence it is left to waste and to rpt the barn.
