Poor Plant Growth Without Nitrogen ~--Phosphate Also Required for Best Results -- The Dieting of Plants Explained, Agriculture, Toronto.) Plants, like animals, require food. Their food consists of simpler sub- stances, but it is none the less ne- cessary. In general farm praclice we do not feed plants; but we grow them in a soil, from which and the surrounding air, we expect them to gather their food. In nearly every instance there is an abundance of food around the plant, but it is not always in a form that it can be ab- sorbed, Sometimes there may be an abundance of some of the food constituents and very little of others. We recognize the importance of a balanced "diet for man, but fail to realize that it is just as important for the plant. The Soil Must Have Nitrogen. Fortunately, while there are quite a number of essential parts to the balanced diet of a plant; there are only three or four that it has diffi- culty in getting, and, of these again there are two that are more fre- quently deficient than others. These are nitrogen and phosphoric acid. There is a great store of the for- mer in the gaseous form In the air | around us, as much as approximately [70,000,000 pounds over every acre {of land. Yet, because the plant | takes its nitrogen in a soluble form through the roots of the plant, this inert, gaseous nitrogen is of no use until it is taken into the soil and rendered available. = Among other methods of getting this nitrogen into the soil, nature has provided that if we grow legumes, such as clover, Peas, etc, we will get some of this nitrogen built into the plant. Then on the decay of the accumulated Vegetable matter from these and other plants, the nitrogen is left in the form that is of use to plants. This means that decaying vegetable matter in the soil is the main source of nitrogen as a food for farm crops other than legumes. We may be Quite sure that if the soil is low in decaying vegetable matter there will be a small amount of nitrogen. With- out plenty of available nitrogen we cannot get the abundant growth of leaf and siem that is necessary; ne- cessary, because it is in the leaf that the carbon dioxide taken from the air is bullt up into sugars, starch, and other compounds of like nature, and that anything that limi's the size of the leaf just as surely limits the plant's ability to make and store these compounds. Nitrogen forces big leaf and stem growth, hence its great value in crop production. The decaying vegetable matter, however, does more than furnish ni- trogen; it improves the physical con- dition 'of the soil, thus making it easier to work. It increases the abil- ity of the soil to Bold water, thereby Insuring better returns in dry wea- ther, and in its decay furnishes acids which help to bring insoluble plant food | into' an available condition. These are strong s.atements to make about any constituent of the soil, but they show the importance of growing catch crops to plough down as frequently as possible in the rota- tion. A legume naturally is the best crop, but where this is not possible, or too expensive, grow rye, rape, or Some crop that will furnish organic (Contributed by Ontario Department of | Finest Wor Greatest Value in the World, PLAYER'S NAVY CUT CIGARETTES FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1022, Zs oh 10 Inch Double Sided Phonograph Records - 65¢ | duit binok Ja Ake a sieiking at The instep. ig yl tke those matter to the sofl. ico n, » noting a pair satin pumps wit thers a ecessary Food. {street shoes on the shelf below the | buckle on them," and she pointed to Phosphate Also 4X { i e element next to nitrogen in | satin pair, the lowest shelf on the cabinet.. importance 1s phosphorus.

So firmly is the phosphorus held, that in our study of the soils of the Province, we find that after nitrogen, no plant food constituent that may be added will give so decidedly 800d results as phosphorus. This is especially true when applied for the cereal grains and turnips. - On fall wheat, 400 pounds of acid phosphate per acre has doubled the yield, and basic slag on heavy soils has given even bet- ter results. On soils fairly rich in vegetable matter, and thus well sup- plied with nitrogen, there is usually Do need of supplementing the gen- eral manuring with anything but the » the exception being when has wintered poorly and Is having a hard time to make growth In a cold backward spring.
