This bulletin is written for he puirpos- s of putting before the armer a statement of our present :nowledge of the factors which infiu nce the fertility of the soil and of the elation of these factors to each other. d rho agricultural plants require for rowth a favorable temperature, !;ght, nd a supply of material including car on dlioxide, water and certain e-hem cal elements derived from the soil. c rhe chief of these elements are nitro- * ren, phosphorus, potassium, calciumn and magnesium, Since oxygen is used it every point of the plant where t growth takes place, it is needed at the ops of the roots, and therefore soli t nust be aerated. All these condi ions are dependent on the climate, on he physical and chemical conditions >f the soi, and on various changes ;oing on in the soil.
