j hea^.... eSoil.
?ply *■$/
> the basis of opera
agricultural work,
e s’*#!, or the dirt, of which
your land is made, contains
those elements of nature re
quired to make vegetable mat
ter or plants grow. The soil
then is a repository or store
house for plant food. The soil
itself does not grow plants. The
dements of nature are stored in
the soil. The moisture or water
and warmth in the soil germin
ates or sprouts the seed, and
the plant “comes up”, so to
speak. Sand would serve the
same purpose. When the seed
sprouts, the seed itself seems to
decay and pass away. In doing
so it gives a certain amount of
plant food, sufficient to sustain
life in the young plant until its
small roots begin to develop.
Then the plant draws food from
the soil and gets its sustenance.
If a seed sprouts and comes up
in clean white sand it will look
healthy and vigorous at first,
but soon die, because there is no
plant food for it. If it sprouts
in the soil it will grow and thrive
in proportion to the available
plant food in the soil, if proper
ly cultivated.
There are ten elements of na
ture in the soil on which plants
feed and live and grow. Heat,
light and air also are necessary.
These are drawn from above. Of
the elements of nature in the
soil, all soils contain enough of
each one except four, namely—
nitrogen, phosphorus, potash
and lime. If only one of these
elements were absent the plant
would not grow. If there is a
small amount of any one ele
ment in proportion to the others
the plants, no matter what they
are, will not do well. This will
explain why some soils will make
good crops and others will not.
Different crops also require dif
ferently proportioned quantities
of these elements, known as
plant food. Thus a soil may pro
duce a fine crop of grapes and a
poor crop of corn, cotton or oats.
The plants gather their own
plant food through their tiny
roots. To gather the plant food,
there must be moisture. The
plants require a great deal of wa
ter, but to thrive the water must
contain plant food, or elements
of nature. Too much water pre
vents the plants from getting the
proper proportion of plant food,
or enough of it. If the plants
grow too large and rank and do
not put on enough fruit or seed,
it is an indication that there is
too much nitrogen in proportion
to phosporus and potash. If the
plants are small and scrawny un
der favorable conditions it
means a lack of nitrogen. If
you use fertilizer remember
__
these facts when you buy or use
'it.
The land should be plowed
1 deep in the fall or winter, and
made loose in the spring before
planting, so the ground will hold
plenty of moisture, and so the
'small roots of the plants can find
their way in all directions in
'search of plant food. If manure
'is used it should be thoroughly
1 mixed in the soil. The small
' roots will find their way to it and
gather the plant food. The
| plant food is taken up by the
! small hair-like roots. Remem
' ber that these roots extend out
'and away from the plant. So
'you see that putting manure or
'fertilizer in the hill where the
| seed is planted is not the best,
j In cultivating a crop the weeds
and grass should be kept out, be
' cause theyr take up the plant
food that the plants should have,
land shade and choke them too.
! The soil should be loose and mel
low at planting time so it will
1 not be necessary to stir it deep
|and break up the roots that are
later on gathering plant food.
I The soil should be cultivated
shallow to keep the weeds and
'grass out, and to keep the top
(soil pulverized, so the sun will
| not draw out the moisture from
j below. Moisture will not evapor
ate through dust. When the
(surface is allowed to become
nornll o vines will -Fm^m Sinrl
moisture from below will evap
orate, and without moisture the
plants cannot live and thrive or
gain those elements of nature
necessary to make them grow
and make fruit or seed. By
keeping these things in mind and
applying your own good judg
ment coming from experience I
trust the readers of this will be
|benefitted in making their crops
the coming season.
