!oort Productive land Should Con

proved j Increasing Amount of
TliU Organic Mutter
ity w. i powkus
(Supt. Demonstration Farms.)
Organic mutter In soils Is decayed
and decaying vegetable and animal
fragments. When In a thoroughly
decayed, gelatinous form It Is called
humus. Growth and decay of plants
Is the principal agency In the for
mation of humus. It becomes incor
porated Into tho soil by various mix
ing agencies.
Good productive soils should con
tain two to six per cent organic
matter In tho surface seven Inches.
Very few sections of the county have
such an abundance of organic matter
In the soils that Its maintenance may
to ncglectod, while most of our soils
may be greatly Improved by Increas
ing the amount present. Tho only
method by which we can change
the physical composition of our soils
Is by Increasing the organic -matter
content. Organic matter Is highly
valuable both for its physical and
chemical effects.
Chemically organic matter Is the
chief source of soil nitrogen. Most
of our soils seem rather too low -in
nitrogen when compared with many
other Oregon soils. Humus In arid
soils contains about fifteen icr cent
nitrogen wh.Uo the humus contained
In humid soils Is only about five per
cent nitrogen. Being the residues
of decayed plants humus contains In
fairly available form, all food ele
ments required by plants. Moreover,
the formation and decay of organic
matter is associated with great bac
terial activity and the formation ot
acid substances which In turn re-act
on the mineral particles In soils to
release potash and phosphorous.
Physically organic matter, through
Its flbroui. or gelatinous nature Im
proves the physical condition or tilth
by causing the soil particles to stick
together Into crumbs giving a good
mellow soil condition.
Organic mnttor Improves tho mois
ture content of soils because It nets
ns n sponge or hbsorbaut mid be
cause It kvops tho soil loose nud
easily mulched, that Is, It holds tho
soil particles together In clusters nud
prevents "puddling" or "running to
gether" and crusting.
YcKotnhto matter In tho soils les
sens the eroding effect or honvy rnlus
by holding tho soil partlolos In place
and by loosening up tho soil so the
water will bo absorbed to n greater
extent.
Humus generally Is associated with
dark color In Bolts and It Is well
known that dark surfaces nbsorb
heat while light ones reflect It Hx
perlmcnts have been tried In which
differences of soveral degrees were
obtained whore part. of a soil was
darkened with organic matter.
Itun down land moro frequently
lacks organic matter than It does
chemical fertilisation. Darning
straw or stalks should bo avoided for
this destrova tho organic matter and
releases the most costly of plant foods
(nitrogen) to tho nir, leaving out)
the minerals In tho nsh.
Farm manure furnishes n limited
amount of organic matter nnd this
should Ik? supplemented by green
manures, such as rjo In tho south
east part ot tho county nnd especially
clover, alfalfa nnd field peas whoro
they can be grown because they are
nitrogen gatherers.

THE PIGS IN SUMMER.
Importance of Furnlihlng Forsgs For
ths Qrowlno Porksrs.
Tho lalo summer season Is n trying
time upon pigs. Orceti iwsturngc is
likely to Io nt Its poorest at that time,
writes II. II. McCartney lu tho Nation,
al Stockmnn. Crops that are most sifc
culent nnd appetising early In the
spring nnd lato In tho fall h.vvo n hnblt
or practically dying down durlug tho
summer time. On tho wtltor's homo
farm n largo blue grasi iwsturo was
used for years. For about six weeks
each summer It was about ns bare of
green feed as the stubble Holds adjoin
ing It.
There are several different crops that
will supply summer feed. Alfalfa that
grows through tho wholo season Is no
doubt tho peer of nil otbor permanent
crops- A mixture of oats, peas nnd
rape or oats, clover nnd rape has prov
ed to bo about the most wttlafactory
when tho ability to furnish green feed
during tho summer Is considered. The
writer recently read of an experiment
station test where tho amount of gain
mado on hogs from different kinds of
foraco wos compared. Very surpris

crop of oats, clover and rape More

reimrted.
There 1 another strong reason be
