GINN Traveler: at Biggs A definite relation between the amount of humus, or vegetable matter in the soil, and its crop- producing power is given in fig ures just issued by the department of agriculture. The department advocates the use of various methods to introduce the required humus into the soil. Experts of the forest service state that the soils of the whole country, and particularly of the west, have lost and are losing immense amounts of this source of soil fer tility through forest fires which apparently do little immediate damage but rob the soil of ac cumulations of humus. W here land is being cleared for farming, and where such forest land has not been burned, there is a large percentage of vegetable matter, which provides considerable fer tility and a good texture. M ore over, this soil has a greater capac ity to absorb and retain moisture, and thus is leu likely to be washed and gullied under heavy rains. For these reasons, leaving out of account the damage to sta tid in g timber, the department’s authori ties are agreed that fire should be rigidly kept out of woodlands. but also a oonvenienoe In bis home transactio ns where very often J.
