The rain water asit percolates throu'zh‘ the soil has a tendency to carry the‘ soluble plwnt foo-1 downward and out‘ of the reach of plants. Consequently: an attempt should be made to delay! the downward progress of plant food instead of acsisting it by plowing the manure in deeply. Then again, nitri- fication In most active :near the sur- face of the soil. Therefore, manure kept near the surface is under more favorable conditions for having its plant food made available and conse- quently gives quicker remns. When a heavy application of man- ure has been plowed under deeply it is ' no uncommon thing to see lumps of ' manure brought to the surface by sub- sequent plowing, showing that. it had, never become properly intorporated iwith the soil. It is quite probable. too, l {that this deeply buried manure has} lost considerable nitro ten throu'zh denitrification. Economical Inanuring ‘ consists in obtaining quick returns: over as large an area of the farml as possible, and this is accomplished by 2 moderate applications in'orporated '. with the surface soil. Shallow rover- ing of manure also increases the hum-. us of the surface soil. As a result, the'l soil does nOt bake and crack in dry? weather; it absorbs and retains water' much more sati‘factorily and works up ‘ intoafine tilth more easily. HOW TO CARE FOR MANURE.
