THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, OCTOBER 26 1898

_ _— _

This important subject is treated of iv Bulletin 32 of North Dakota station, which opens with the following statement :

“The matter of humus in the soil is attracting the attention of all thoughtful farmers, and maoy are asking for informas tion and how to prevent its-loss, or how to increase soil humus, An attempt will bere be made toexplain what ie meant by the term soil humus, and in what way its presence in the soi! is beneficial, Our statements are based in part upon our own investigations and in part upon results drawn from data of other etations.” A few defiuitions and explanation’ may assist in better understanding what may follow.

That portion of the earth that ie culti- vated for plant growth is the soil. It is made up of mineral and organic matter. The mineral consists of lime, potash, phos- phates, iron, magnesia, aluminum and various other minerals of less importance.

The organic matter includes everything that once existed as vegetable or animal matter.

Volatile matter consiaia of the moisture gaees and organic mater, all of which can be driven off from a epadefull of soil by heating it or burning it.

Humus is that part of the organic matter in the soil which bas partially de- cayed, auch as leaf mould, rotten roots, and blades of grass, clover or peas. Rot- ted manure is rich io humus. Unrotted manure or green crops plowed in soon make humus by rotting down in the soil.

The opinion seems to be gaining ground that much of the available plant food is the portion in the bumus, and as the bu- mus increases in the soil the potassium, phosphoric acid and other mineral products existing in the soil in insoluble forms not suitable for plant food are taken up by the bumus to form new compounds better euited to nourish the growing plante.

In eight determinations of North Dakota soila, 41 per cent. of the phosphates was found in the humus, and the proportions ranged from 10 per cent to 81. Of the nitro ¢ gen fro+ 46 to 80 per cent of the to'a! was found in the humus, and on an average 61 per cent.

What becomes of this nitrogen when the bumus is destroyed by decay. It goes back into the atmosphere, or is washed into the rivers, and so carried out tothe ocean. In these ways five pounds of nitrogen are lost for every pouad used by the growing crops

If then, the mineral matter taken up by the plants and the nitrogen are drawn largely from the humus ofthe soil, it will be seen bow importantit is to maintain well the eupply of organic mat- ter in the soil, that it may be transformed into bumus as needed by the plants under cultivation. Continuous wheat-growing i @ process destructive of humus and of all organic matter in the soil. Not that the wheat uses up such large quan- tities, but, under conditions of wheat- growipg a generally practised in this state, the eis agrapid decay of organic matter, nitrification under these conditions being very rapid, and the products escape as gases go intothe air and are washed

Egypt's Rights

Lonpon, Oct 25—An additional Blue Book, iseued yesterday, contains interest-~ ing letters from Moustapha Fehey, the re- pr of Egypt, to General Kitchener, and sord Cromer, the British diplomatic agent, respectively, showing Egypt’s attitude, He wrote to General Kitchener, warmly thanking him for taking possession of Faskoda, and thereby reconquering for Egypt the provinces whioh assure her ex~ istence and from which ebe only retired provisionally.

The regent in writing to Lord Cromer protested against “the French violation of Esyptian territory,” sod maintaining that Egypt had never lost sight of the re- occupation « f the provinces of the Soudan, which are the actual sources of the vitality ft Ezyp’,sou trom which she only with- drew owing to“force majour.” He aleo suid that the reconquesst of Kbartoum

would fail to bave its effect if the valley of the Nile was not restored to Egy pt.

Moustapha Frchey concluded with re- referring to the Anglo French discussion | on the subject of Fashods, urging Lord Cromer to use his good offices with the Marguis of Salisbury, ‘‘in order that the incontestible rights: f Egypt may be recogs nized and that all the provinces occupied up to the rebellion of Mohammed Ahmeu be restored to her.”

Good Advice.

—_—--

L‘fe is short and full of care and sor- rows for one to be the cause of adding one feather’s weight of trouble to another’s load. Will Carsetoo, the poet, in the ‘First Settler’s story,” we believe it was, makes the old man say, io speaking of his wife, that ehe used to stand around aod bose tte job, and by her kind woeds lifted whole tous. Kind words have the same effectthe world over. They lift a fellow out of the slough of despond; they break the stiffened, set jfeatures of the worried into a pleasant, bopeful emile. And how much better it is to cultivate the habit of treating everyone as though a time would come when we should lay down the mortal form; avd to leave behind a character and reputation of fairness, truth, and honor is the most enduring of riches.

out of the soil, or in case of the mineral producte, phosphates, etc, they combine | in such forms as tobe no longer readily } available for feeding the plant.

An acre of soil tothe debth of one foot weighs about 3,225,000 pounds or 1.609 tons, and some eoile as much as 1,800 tons per acre. Experiments bave shown that soils containing the most humus bold the most moisture, are warmer, looser, mellower, most easily worked, and mos: fertile.

Following is a summary of this impor- tant bulletin on soil bumus:

1. By twenty years of wheat-growing from 40 to 60 per ceut of the organic mat- ter of our soils have been lost.

2. For every pound of organic matter that has gone to furnish its nitrogen to wheat five pouads have been lost.

3. Manyor our soils that originally contained from 8,000 to 10,000 pounds of nitrogen per acre to the debth of one foot now contain from 3,000 to 6,000 pounds.

4. By the loss of humus our soila have become less retentive of moisture, and give it up by evaporation sooner than when t bey were well supplied with humus.

5, Bare summer faliowing and burning of the wheat stubble destroys large quan- tities of organic matter abd humates.

6. To keep the supply of humus i1 the soil we murt imitate nature and grow for the present at least one year in five agrass crop on our land.

7. By keepingup the supp'y of bumus | in the soii, the crops will feel the effects of drouthe less than in soils pure in bumus.
