IMPROVING SOIL FERTILITY
( _ .
Agricultural prosperity can only be maintain
ed by returning to the soil those elements •
of plant food which ai’e removed by cropping.
Soil fertility, moisture, and suitable tem
perature determine your success in Apicul
ture.
Keeping your land fertile while you ir.-'ke a *
living from it present many difficulties. An:
materials which help to maintain fertility
cheaply and efficiently are important. M-- n
ure, fertilizer and lime are the three most
reliable materials, and manure offers the
greatest range of helpful qualities with the
most lasting effect.
Manure provides not only the essential elem
ents, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
and a minute amotint of other elements. These
minor substances, though necessary for healtl
growth are used in such small quantities by
plants that they are classed as trace element
If these trace elements are lacking in the
cror,s used as feed, livestock often develops
deficiency diseases.
