FIRST ARTICLE SOIL CONSERVATION.
By W. J. SPILLMAN. ArrlcullsrUI la Chirp of Firm Mansremtst, Bares al
Plant laduitry, Department 61 Apiculture.
OW to restore and maintain
nth productivity of tb soil la
tlit oioat important phase of
tbe conservation problem, in
many of onr older couimunltlea soil
fertility baa been reduced below the
point of profitable production. Nation
wide effort at the present time,
through federal and atata agency, la
directed toward the restoration of fer
tility In these localities. In the older
countries of Europe, where farming
baa been followed for many centuries,
the problem of antlsfuctory yield of
farm cropa bos been solved. The ag
riculture of Germany la similar to that
of the United State, but the yield tier
acre of wheat In Germany la mora
(ban twlct that In tbe United States,
the yield of rye nearly twice aa large,
tbe yield of barley nearly a third lar
ger and tbe yield of onta mora than
one third larger.
Tbe proportionate area of cereals
grown In Germany la about one-tlftn
leaa than In tbe United mates, while
tbe proportionate area of bay and for
age cropa la one-balf greater. In addi
tion to that, the iwrceutage of tbe total
area which la planted to root crops la
enormously greater In Germany than
In tbe United States. These root cropa
conalat largely of potatoes and sugar
beets, and the beat German authori
ties estimate that at least one-third of
tbe products of the area of these two
cropa ia avallaole for stock feed. They
lao estimate that one-third of tbe
products of Ibe area devoted to cereals
Is devoted to tbe feeding of domestic
inlmal. Oermany therefore devotee
very much more of ber soil to the pro
duction of feed for live stock tbsn
does tbe United States.
On the ssine area of farm land the
German farmer maintains on tbe aver-
ago from 30 to 78 per cent more live
stock than does the American farmer.
Tbe manure from these animals la also
better cared for In all European coun
tries than It la In this country. Not

only that the United Statea exports
vast quantities of cottonseed meal, lin
seed oilineal and other J-lcb nitrogenous
feeding stuffs, while Uermauy Imports
vaat quantities of these umterlnls. Ger
man farmers not only conserve their
own natural resources, but they draw
on other parts of tbe world to main
tain tbe fertility of their hinds. Amer
ica baa been mining ber soil and ship
ping the products to Europe. In addi
tion to the sources of fertility above
given, Qermauy uses annually on ber
soli 550,000 tones of nitrate of aoda,
275.000 toua of sulphate of ammonia,
1.200,000 tons of auperphosphate and
1,400,000 toua of basic sing In addition
to large amounts of potash salts.
We are now confronted by the same
necessities that compelled the adoption
of sound systems of agriculture In tbe
old world. Ilow shall we meet this
problem?
The Solution of the Pfobl.m. J
In tbe first place, we must Increase
the number of domestic animals on
our -farms. Where land la farmed by
renters the leases must be made for
longer terms, and where the renter has
not the capital to provide the proper
number of domestic animals these
must be supplied by the landowner.
Tbe effect of live stock on the fertility
of tbe soil needs no demonstration. It
is well known to every Intelligent
farmer. Up to the present time, at
least, no system of agriculture has been
permanently profitable without the use
of domestic animals as a means of
maintaining the productiveness of the
soil. Whether such systems are possi
ble remains to be seen.
In addition to Increasing the number
of domestic animals on American farms
our farmers must pay more attention
to leguminous crops and to other crops
which provide supply of humus for
tbe soil. Legumes, such as clover.
peas, alfalfa, etc., are especially Im
portant because of tbo fact that with
the aid of certain soil bacteria they are
able to draw their supply of nitrogen
irom tbe air. Having thus an unlimit
ed supply of this valuable plant food
constituent, they become very rich In
nitrogen. Tbe stubble and roots of a
leguminous crop frequently leave In
the soil auflh'lent nitrogen for tbe
needs of the crop that follows. Ueceut
Inveiitlgatioua by tbe department of
agriculture In Kansaa and Nebraska
abow that the average Increase In tba
yield of corn grown after alfalfa, com
pared with corn grown after non legu
minous crop. Is 75 per cent. A good
crop of clover baa a similar effect on
tbe yield of cropa which follow It In
stances ar known where the practice
of sowing bur clover In cotton fields In
the fall of the year and turning it un
der in spring In time for another crop
of cotton haa In three years doubled
tbe yield of cotton. Crimson clover
sown lu a similar manner between
crops of corn bus In a few years In
creased tbe yield of corn 50 per cent
or more.
Tba reason these leguminous cropa
have, aucb a marked effect on fertility
In many canes on depleted soils Ilea In
the' fact that nitrogen la not con
stituent of tbe soil proper, but only of
the decaying plant and animal matter
In tbe soli. Wben soils are farmed for
many years without any attention to
their fertility tbls organic matter Is
rotted out snd tbe nitrogen disappears.
Hence nitrogen la nearly always tbe
first plant food constituent to become
deficient In tbe soil.
Tbe fact baa already been referred
to that we export a large proportion
of our cottonseed meal, oilmen! and
other rich nitrogenous feeding stuffs
TbeNe materials are all exceedingly
rich In nitrogen. Tbey abould be kept
at borne, fed to live stock and ' the
manure returned to tbe land.
'v
D.p.nd.nc. en Our Own R.sourcaa.
There Is thla difference between oui
situation and that of tbe older coun
tries of Europe: Hitherto we have been
exporters of our feedstuff rich In fer
llllfcer couHtltnents, while tbey bave
been Importers. They bave been draw
ing on tbe newly settled regions of tbe
world for materials with which to feed
tbelrcrops. The American farmer Will
be making a long atep forward when
be qulta exportlug these material and
returns them to bis own soli. What
ever abortages there may be most be
made up by tile intelligent use of com
mercial fertilizers. There Is no danger
of a nitrogen famine. We can grow
leguminous cropa to supply nitrogen.
We can also, by Judicious use of tbe
refuse from grain and other crops and
by the use of Intelligently planned crop
rotation with occasional catch cropa
for green manure, keep np an abun
dant supply of humus. Even if we bad
no other resources for maintaining the
fertility of the soli tbsn leguminou
plants and bumua making crops we
could on much of the land in this coun
try maintain a much higher standard
of yields than obtains st tbe present
time.
Example, of Succ.ful Farming.
In New York, slate tbera are iargs
arena of land wblcb formerly produc
ed satisfactory crops, but which In re
cent years have been reduced in fertili
ty to tbe point where their cultivation
la no longer profitable by the methods
In vogue In that section. A few years
ago a representative of the department
of agriculture Induced a farmer In that
section to- grow four acres of potatoes
nudor his direction. This Carmer had
been growing potatoes for many years,
using seed which bad been grown for
sixty years In that locality without se
lection to maintain Its quality. Ills or
dinary yields of potatoes, were about
forty bushels per acre. lie was Induc
ed to secure new and improved aeed
and to cultivate in the most thorough
manner. As a result these four acres
produced a yield of "250 bushels of po
tatoes per acre. Similar results have
since been secured by a number of oth
er farmers In tbe same locality. ' ' V
An Illinois farmer a good many years
ago established on bis farm. a rotation
of corn, corn, oata. clover. .' Tbe corn
and oats were fed to bogs, wblcb were
allowed to graze on the clover. Very
little feed was purchased, but every
thing raised on the farm was converted
Into manure and returned to tbe land
At tbe beginning of thla system of
farming the yield of corn was about
thirty-five bushels to the acre. Ten
years later It had risen 4a eighty bush
els per acre, tbe average yield for four
consecutive years being 80.4 bushels
per acre.
A Missouri farm which bad been de
voted,, to corn and wheat for seventy
years and on which the yields of wheat
were about eight bushels per acre and
corn about twenty-five bushels was
subjected to a system of farming simi
lar to that Just described for an Illi
nois farm. In six years the yields or
this farm were more than doubled. In
work of this character the following
points are emphasized:
Deep fall preparation of the soil.
rinnting of well selected seed.
' Mainly shallow and frequent cultiva
tion of the rron during the growing
season and especially after a rain.
The Judicious use of commercial fer
tilizers and the Increased use of home
produced . fertilizers and the growing
of leguminous crops.
