harm soil 4 most farmers are convinced from their own exm rlence iit the value of chemltal fertlltiers in maintain ing sol productivity and for in creaking crop vie ida there are still some who believe that chemical frrtillicrs are ruining our soils no our will suggi it that organic matter and humus are not impor tanl in our soils says o w michael fertilizer specialist iomlnion de partment of agriculture to add earn post material to build up the humus rontent of the soil is an expensive method nut humus can tie put into the sot by ploughing down refuse crops sods green manure crops and animal manures humus i n proves the texture and structure of the soil regulate soil temperature serves as a source of nitrogen and other plant foods in creases the water holding capacity of the soil prevents the top soil from washing and blowing away and stops the loss of mineral in the solution two things are necessary to maintain soil fertility organic matter ind plant food and they should be partners organic matter can be maintained by good farm practices of rotating crops use of jitjtiturt both green and animal and ploughing aown crop residue the pr ence of organic matter increases soil bacteria and fish worms which are beneficial to pro ductlve soil since most crops re move more plant food thsn the average farmer returns to the soil it is necessary in addition to use chemical fertilizers to supply the plants requirements thus produc ing more vigorous crops and re turning more organic matter to the soil in crop residue no experiments have rver shown that the use of chemical fertilizers are in any way detrimental this is borne out by a 05 yesr experi ment on wheat in england where chemical fertilizers were used against manure the plot receiving- 1301 pounds of complete fertilizer annuslly outylelded the plot re ceiving sn annual application of is 7 tons of manure during the last five years the fertilized plot outyleldod the manured plot by 4 4 bushels per acre it would not aeem that this soil had been poison ed after receiving chemical fertili aei niiually for 03 years in reviewing the facts there is no scientific evidence that the use of chemical fertilizers causes any deterioration of the soil or has any injurious effect on plant growth the use of chemical fertlllxers increases yields thus lowering pro duct ion costs it makes poor land good and should be employed to make good land better v local stores are offering quality merchandise w wkl m our col umns president amos mason who re crnlly returned from a visit in florida gave the club an interesting
