HUMUS ACTS AS A SPONGE
The Soil Is a Vast Workshop In Which Billions of Tiny Germs Called
Bacteria Are Working to Bring About the Making of Plant
Food How. to Improve Sandy Soil
Written for the United States School Garden. Army
I You have often heard of soils so
poor that they would scarcely grow a
hill of beans. Generally such a soil is
a good deal like a sand hank. It is
light in color and is made up of fine
sandy particles.
Such soils have several faults when
you try to grow garden crops in them.
The chief faults are the fact that
water runs through so quickly the plant 'and holding the
roots suffer in dry weather and the fact J through the soil.
that there is very little plant food pres

sorb. Now, plants are like humans in
T this respect to grow well they need a
T ! continual supply of water and food.
1 ne one important -way to improve
; a sandy sou is to add humus to it.
As compared with ordinary, rich, dark-

colored garden soils, the great lack of
these sandy soils is humus.
So the first thing to do to improve
a sandy soil is to add humus and work
the soil over and over again to get the
humus thoroughly mixed with the par
ticles of sand. When this is done the
soil will hold moisture better, because
the humus acts as a sponge in catching
water as it filters

will be taken in
more productive.
The plant or animal materials
leaves, lawn clippings, manures, com
posts that you add to the soil to make
humus are generally not in condition
to be used immediately by plant roots.
For the soil is not simply a mixture
of fine rock particles and dead' leaves.
j It is rather a vast workshop in which
billions of tiny germs, called bacteria,
are worKing to nring anout tne matcing
of plant food. Even the wisest scien
tists do not pretend to understand all
alxiut how it happens, but they assure
us that the humus is the basis of ex
istence of a large proportion of these
helpful germs.
The practical lesson from all this
study of the bacteria in the soil is that
it is well worth while so to rtreat the
land that these germs will be free to
develop under as favorable conditions j
as possible. They live in dead plant or i
animal forms or executions, so these '
must be furnished. They require oxy
gen, so the soil must be drained and
tilled. They do not thrive in acid
soils, so lime must sometimes be ap
plied. In short, the better the agricul
tural methods, the more completely can
these tiny organisms carry on their
beneficient work.
May crops are planted every year on
clay soils which have not lately been
used for gardens. To insure success.
follow these suggestions:
1. Be careful not to work the soil
, lit ..!..
wnen it is too wet. wait unin it is ary
enough to crumble between the fingers.
2. If well-rotted stable manure is
available, plow in or spade in a good
dressing of it. Or turn under a layer
of old leaves or -almost any kind of
vegetation that you can jet.
3. After the garden is plowed or
paded, and before it is harrowed or
raked, spread lime evenly over the sur
face. If it is lime carbonate, spread
it on to a thickness of at least half an
inch. Then work the lime thoroughly
into the soil.
4. After the lime is thoroughly raked
in. spread on a light dressing of com
mercial' fertilizer, and rake it in. Or,
if preferred, work in a little commer-

drill or furrow just before sowing the
seed.
5. Select these crops for such soils:
Lettuce, Swiss chard, sweet corn, beans
and tomatoes. The root crops are not
likely to do well until the garden has
been worked over a season or more and
a large amount of humus has been
thoroughly worked into it.

IT PAYS YOU IN SATISFAC

tion from what you buy and you
