The element next to nilrogo-n in impor.ancu is phosphorus. Nitrogen can be got from the air by legum- inous plants, but the phosphorus supply in the soil can be supplement- ed only by adding some form of ma- nure or fertilizer. The supply in the soil is comparatively small. and is naturally held in an insoluble form, so that losses by leaching may be reduced to a minimum. So tirmly is the phosphorus held, that in our study of the soils of the Province, we tInd that after nitrogen, no plant food constituent that may be added will give so decidedly good results as phosphorus. This is especially true when applied tor the cereal grains and turnips. On fall wheat, 400 pounds ot 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 no need at supplementing the gen- eral manuring with anything but the phosphate, the exception being when tall wheat has wintered poorly and is having a hard time to make growth in a cold backward spring. Then an application ot nitrate ot soda at the rate of 100 to 150 pounds per acre on the poorer parts ot the field will usually pay Well. Turnips have "Uh'eulty in absorb- ing phosphates, hence although the ground is usually well manured for this ctop, it will pay to add throo The decaying vent-table mutter, however, does more than furnish ni- trogen; it improws the physical con- dition of the SJ”. thus nulling it easier to work.

A legume naturally is the best crop, but where this is not possible, or too expensive, grow no. rape, or some crop that mil furnish organic matter to the soil. Phosphate Also a Necessary Food. The Soil Must Have Nitrogen. Fortunately. while there are quite a. number ot essential parts to the btilatteed"diet of a plant; there. are only three or tour that it has dith- culty in getting. and, of these again there are two that are more fre- quently detieient than ohms. Those are nitrogen and phosphoric acid There is a great store of the f..r mer in the gaseous form in thc air around us, as much as appri-xnnutui; 70 000,000 pounds on: we!) idrr of land.
