Improving: Poor Laad.
A North Carolina N correspondent
writes : "I have read somewhere that
land that was originally rich cannot be
made poor, but can only be exhausted,
jo to speak; can easily be brought up;
but land that was poor in the beginning
cannot be made permanently
rich." I have frequently given it as
my belief that land that was originall.v
fertile, ana is or a gooa mecnamcai
texture; can never be really worn out,
though by bad farming it may be
brought into a very unproductive coniition
whilestill having in it an abundince
of plant food which its condition
renders unavailable. The scientists
of the Department of Agriculture
who have been studying soils announce
as one of their discoveries that
ill cultivable soils have in them about
the same average amount of
soluble plant food, and that tbe only
iifferenbe Id their productiveness is in
:heir mechanical condition and the
readiness which they supply water
for the solution of plant food. If this
8 true, then the fact that the chemist
inds more nitrogen or phosphoric acid
>r potaan in oDe sou man iu auuiuei
aaa nothing whatever to do with the
aeeds of that soil as to additional plant
food to be supplied in fertilizers. If the
imount of soluble plant food in all soils
.s the same, then all soils need the same
treatment as to additional plant food to
ae supplied in fertilizers. The soil that
was orlgiually fertile had in it abuDdirice
of humus. A long series of years
n which the soils have been cultivated
ind crops taken off from it has completely
oxydized this humus and used
t up, aDd the mechanical condition of
:he soil is very different. Its clayey
natter has run together and the air is
ihut out. It dries out rapidly and fails
:o furnish water to the roots and to dissolve
plant food, and though a laboratory
experiment may show that it still
contains the average amount of soluble
plant food, the water is not present for
its solution by reason of the rapid drying
off of the soil. It has also gotten
jolderby reason of the loss of humus(
ind absorbs and retains less neat, ana i
:ieat is essential to the growth of plants. I
Thus, while chemical analysis may
ihow that it has an abundance of plant
food, the food is locked up and plants
:annot get at it. This is just the condition
of large areas in the South. But
? say that no soil originally poor or unproductive
cannot be made permanently
fertile and productive is hardly true.
There are thousands of acres in the
South which, when first cleared, were
n an unproductive condition by reason
>f a lack of humus. The red-clay upands
of the South have naturally less
lumus than similar lands in the North,
>r in our open woodlands the leavest
ire blown away to the hollows and
jottoms in winter, while in the North J
% ' kw on A TT7 QnH
ney are paui&eu uunu UJ ouw.,
aela to rot where they fell, and thua a
arger amount of humus or vegetable
leeay is found there. But when these
ed-clay soils, by proper rotation of
;rops and the use of legume crops, are
itored with humus-making matter
:hey rapidly increa?e in productiveness
>ecause of their improved meobanical
condition. I once remarked to a
xiend, a good farmer in an improving
lection, tbat I thought a certain field
>f corn was poor for a piece of new
ground, "Newly-cleared land here,"
3e said, "is the poorest land we have,
ind we work it a few years and get
li. 99
some Clover orpeasuu n.
I have never forgotten the remark,
:houghitwa8 made years ago, and it I
>et me to thinking about the matter, j
md I became conyinced that so far as
;he clay uplands of the South are concerned
he was right, and that the first
itep in their development and permanent
productiveness must be the getting
into them of the humus that improves
their mechanical texture, their
inoisture-retaining capacity and their
warmth.
It is true that there are in the South
ind in all other sections of the country,
lands that were originally poor
which cannot be made permanently
Fertile, but must be continually aided
ay manure or fertilizers. These are
;he sandy barren soils where there was
originally but a small store of plant
bod, and where the plant food added
in fertilizers is rapialy oxydized and
leached down because of the loose mechanical
condition of the sand and the
absence of food-retaining clay. On

srops, and their warmth make9 them
ivailable for early garden crops, but the
plant food is soon lost and must be continauliy
renewed. But it does not follow
that a sandy soil that was originally
poor cannot be made permanently
fertile if just below the sandy surface
soil there Is retentive clay subsoil that
can be reached by the plow to ameliorate
the. surface, or even when out of
reach of the plow to serve as an arresting
force to retain moisture and plant

food. Now, having land that i9 called g
"worn out' on our red-clay hills, and j
the soil scientists tell us that it shows ^
just as much soluble plant food in it as c
land richt alongside that has been well n
worked, and well treated and is pro-I q
duetive, while no treatment at present L
seems to avail to make it produce good i
crops, we want to find the reason. f(
You will see on a very casual examina- 0
tion that tbe productive land of the ^
same natural charaoter is darker in j
color, is more mellow and less inclln ed p
to bake and dry out. 5
In a dry time you can stir up t]
moisture in it with the toe of o;
your shoe, while on your worn-out
land you can hardly stir it at all when ^
dry. What makes the difference in ?
these two fields? Simply the differ- ?
ence in humus or vegetable decay. 5,
This has all been burnt out of the v
worn-out land, and while a laboratory a
solution of tbe soils will show the same ^
average amount of soluble plant food,
the worn-out land has not enough ^
to make the solution naturally, and ~
hence cannot deliver food to the plant jy
roots. The very first thing then to be ^
done in its improvement is to get this Vl
moisture-retaining humus back into ol
tbe soil. It will be unproductive even w
of the crops that will do this. ' 5,
You may sow peas on it and the ^
drought will make them a Very poor a.
crop, for you will find that, while the jj
burning out of humus, the microbes in
the soil that breathe the nitrogen from a,
the air have been starved out and no
I nodules form on the pea roots. Men
[say that such a soil is too poor to grow a,
clover, and it is true that clover will w
not thrive there for the same Reason ^
that the peas do so poor'iy. On such
a soil the thoughtless cotton-farmer, or, a]
rather, cotton-planter, will dribble, a Ja
little complete fertilizer in the furrow, a,
and, if tbe weather is favorable; may a
get some increase in the crop, but for y
from what even the same little appli- o1
cation would give on the better field, y
It has been shown that if tbe peas ai
can get plenty of the mineral elements gt
of plant food they will get the nitrogen g
for you if the soil is inoculated with ^
the microbes that live on their roots w
and enable them to do this. Scatter a
little soil from a field where peas do ^
well on the old field. Then give the al
land a dressing all over in a liberal way ^
of a mixture of acid phosphate and pot- jt
ash, say 1000 pounds of acid phosphate a,
and 400 pounds of muriate of potash. a
Put this on at rate of 400 pounds per a]
acre a week or more before sowing the r(
peas and harrow it in repeatedly with 5,
the cutaway, chopping the soil as fine cj
as possible, for next to humus the fin- ^
ing of th6 soil is the important point in g(
retaining moisture. Once get a good ?{
K i-iooa onH vnn have that
KlUVVlu vi vug pvMu wmm ?
land where you want it, and its after u
improvement is easy. It will pay for a,
a while to use the whole growth to turn
under after all the growth is completed
and the peas are dead, and then to sow
a winter cover of rye or crimson clover
on the land.
The very first crop thereafter .will
show the effects not only of the nitrogen
the pea* have gotten into the soil,
but the mechanical texture of the soil MR
| will be improved and its moisture-re
taining capacity at once improveu.
Tben if you return the peas there every
third year you *ill soon find that there
is no longer the difference between
the worn-put land and the improved,
and, being a good clay loam, it will
deliver it to the plants. In short, use
the cheaper forms of commercial fertilizers
to enable the plants to get the
most costly nitrogen, and then, when
its capaoity is improved, use the legume <c
crops forage and get more humusmaking
material in the manure from
feeding them to cattle.
Stop dribbling a little complete fer- (T
tilizerinthe hill or furrow, and give
the same value in a larger amount ot
the cheaper plant foods in phosphoric (x
acid and potash to the crops that feed
the land and feed the stock at the same
time, and let them do the rest. 2(

Jot long ago one of t^ese dyspeptics
tegan a crusade against potatoes, and
iot content with that sacrilegious onlaught,
actually laid her unholy haDds
