and fraser menabb new presidents of nokval junious drains to work effectively in heavy soils the destruction of the crumb structure of heavy soils is indirect ly responsible for their lowered productivity this is recognized elsewhere as well as here a recent report from some stud ies in ohio points out that on much of the most fertile land in that state crop yields are limited- by poor physical condition of the soil the authors of the report write the future of agriculture of many of our soils depends largely on how well favourable structure can be maintained or increased with loss of humus and the breakdown of the crumb structure the soil be comes more plastic and sticky when wet puddles more readily if work ed at too high a moisture content and on drying bakes into massive blocks or large clods which arc pulverized only with great difficul ty using more powerful tillage machines does not really solve this problem the- true solution lies in restoring a desirable granular

the flood lights which arc light and heavy soil goes back to i now in the course of installation- the problem of soil organic matter i at a meeting of the county execu- maintcnanoe j tive of the hallon federation or fertility supply i agriculture held in mjlton last a third important factor in the wcck plans were laid to moke this soilbuilding progrom is the pro vision for an increasing supply of available plant food in the soil where there is an abundance of livestock manure availablo for the land this problem is much simpli fied where crops are fed to live stock on the farm about three- quarters of the nutrients removed from the soil can be returned to the land in the form of manure thus manure has a two fold value in supplying both nutrients and or ganic matter however its effect iveness in supplying nutrients is due more to the quantities used in even normal applications rather than a high concentration of plant food in the manure also it should not be overlooked that manure made from crops grown on poor soil will be poorer in qualify and lower in plant nutrient value than manure made from crops grown on good land if the fertility supply is to be built up rapidly additional nitro gen and minerals may need to be provided from sources other than farmyard manure cortolnly soil fertility must bo maintained if the organic matter content is to be kept at a dcslrablo level thus in addition to the nutrients supplied by manure the amount of other fertilizers used in the rotation will have a significant bearing on the maintenance of organic matter in proportion to the annual losses from the soil anything less than this must load inevitably to bank rupty of the land desirable soil microbes a healthy soil is one that ft teeming with millions of microor ganisms or
