T By Marshall Pottenger.â€" â€" Alt forms of â€"matter known to man are composed of about ninetyâ€" four different chemical _elements.‘ that 1s, of substances which cannot, by anv known means. be separated into two or more kinds of matter.

So far. »u;.we_gdett.m!y know, it is probably true that only ten chemical elements are really essential to plant growth under ordinary conditions. â€"~Although there are thousands of different kinds of plants growing the following fourteen are commonâ€" 1y found in â€"plants: calcium, carbon, chlorine, hydrogen, iron, magnesium, from comi);;';tively‘nfew eie_nielits.. manganese, nitrogen, oxygen, phosâ€" phorus, . potassium, â€" silicon, sodium and sulphur. These elements occur in very unequal amounts in the vegâ€" etable world. â€"For example, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen alone make average of all plants. to plant life. It has not been satisâ€" factorily demonstrated that chlorâ€" There are other elements, in no way. essential. to plant life that ocâ€" cur under special conditions more or less frequently in plants; among these may be mentioned aluminum, arsenic, barium,, boron, bromine, copper, flourine, fodine, lead, lithâ€" ium, nickel, tin and zink. Their occurance is more a matter of genâ€" eral interest than of any. actual value to the person interested in growing plants,. Such substances may be regarded as straying into a plant without purpose or plan simply because they happen to be in solution in the neighborhood of growing plantâ€"roots and go into the plant in company with the plantâ€" food proper. . f * . The elements required by plants are divided into two quite distinct classes, which show rather marked differences. These two classes are airâ€"derived elements and. soilâ€"deâ€" rived or mineral elements. : The air derived elements are: carbon, hydroâ€" gen, nitrogen and oxygen. The soil derived elements are: calcium, iron, eir variation GARDEN HOME earth, and sulphur (chlorine, anganese, silicon, sodium). These two classes differ aboutâ€"as follows.. The airâ€"d»rived elements come exclusively from the air (thisâ€" may be directly, or it may the soil}. The soil derived elements come directly and exclusively. from the soil. When a plant is burned, the airâ€"derived elements disappear, for the most part, in the form of gases; the soilâ€"derived or mineral elements, usually much the smallâ€" est part, are left in the form of unâ€" since some oxygen is always foundâ€" in ash, while a small amount of chlorine, ~phosphorus â€"and â€"sulphur may be driven off in the form of gases during the operation of burnâ€" ing. Airâ€"derivedâ€"elements make up moré than 95 perâ€"cent of â€"the whole vegetable kingdom, while the soilâ€" derived ~elements. occur in . small amounts varying in different plants and in different parts of the same filan% from a fraction of one per 5 per cent, or even in so cases, taking the plant as a whole. elementsâ€"occur in such small â€"proâ€" portions, does not mean ‘that their importance is Slight. _ Without them plants would notâ€"grow. > This fact directly â€"through â€"theâ€"â€"soilâ€"derivec elements. (In other words, by conâ€" trolling. under certain conditions any appreciable extent, directly conâ€" trol, at least economically, most of in enabling. us â€" to influence the h of plants. â€" We cannot, .to cent. ments that enter into the composiâ€" tion of plants,â€"we can, in a large measure, control the other 95 per The chemical elements do not commonly exist separately from one another as pure elements. While we are familiar with impure carbon in the form of coal and charcoal, and with nitrogen and oxygen as they are mixed together in the agr, we never find under ordinary condiâ€" tions elements like hydrogen, phosâ€" phorus and potassium, etc., existing separate from other elements. Difâ€" ferent elements combine to form compounds somewhat as the different letters of the alphabet combine to form words. The few chemical eleâ€" ments used in plant growth exist in the air and soil in the form ofâ€" comâ€" pounds; some of these compounds aré used as food by plants; after beingtaken into the plant they are worked ~over into a great variety of new compounds, and these new compounds, which have been formed within the plant, are more or less regularly grouped or_ mixed together in a great variety ofâ€"ways in the process of plant growth.~. The eleâ€" ments may, therefore be reégarded as the raw materials from whiql} plantâ€"foods come. rned residue or ash, upon which of plants, is not perfectly sharp, but we can do so inâ€" ..; 3| 1 the soil, 2 the large phosphate wholly prevent plant growth, is a sense in which some of the soilâ€" derived elements are of much greater importance to plant growth than others. Certain elements @are more extensively used by certain plants and sooner or later the soil may nsed special attention in the way of increasing the available supâ€" ply. of a certain element for a cerâ€" tain type of plant. Other elements are used in such small amounts, reâ€" lative to the available supply, that thsy rarely need attention. â€" The eleâ€" ments of . special importance are: nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium. Nitrogen occurs in nature chiefly in the following forms: 1. atmospheric nitrogen, 2 ammonia, 3 in animal and vegetable matter, and 4 as nitrate. ‘ > â€"| may break a window occasionally, :\ they may tear their clothes, or borâ€" ‘\ row dad‘s pet golf clubs without leave, or show any of the other | mischievous traits that are common, | to children everywhere. â€" But there | is one thing they are notâ€"they are. , | not hoarders. > \ ,| _ You don‘t find them stuffing their ; | money in the old sock or:under the ,| mattress.
