PAGE FOUR --\ OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1922 Sour, Worn-out Soils By E. G. HOGARTH, BSA. Re sani Experiments, investigations and results conducted in Canada, United. States and Europe show conclusive- ly that soils, like people, become tired and worn out. Every crop raised takes certain essential ele- ments from the soil. Every erop taken from the farm carries with it--lime, which must be replaced if succegsful," profitable crops are to be raised in the future. Alfalfa, which gathers nitrogen from the air to enrich the soil, at the same time depletes the soil of lime to the extent of several pounds for each ton of hay produced, Other crops remove a lesser amount of lime Another important cause is the leach- ing out through rains and drainage, of the limestone originally in the soil, Common evidence of this is hard water in wells, caused by water draining through the soil and taking the lime with it. A third cause is the large quantity of sulphur in our coal which is released in smoke when the coal is burned and is carried to the soil by rain and snow, This sulphur, forms sulphuric acid in the s0il which neutralizes the all import- ant lime, It is easy to understand that when enough of this limestone has ben removed from the soil by these different methods, the soil reaches an impoverished, finproduc- tive condition. Scanty and poor crops are the certain result, Dr. Cyril G. Hopkins of the Agri- eulthiral Department of the Univer- sity of Illinois says: "The three things which we need derforms other funetions in the soil, | the importance of which is scarcely | secondary to that of directly feeding | the plant. When the land begins to | need lime it is a waste of time, en- 'ergy and money, to continue cultiva-| tion until the need is supplied, for, the economical use 'of every other fertilizer material depends on the | the lime supplied." | Professor R, Harcourt, Professr of | Chemistry, Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph, states: "The longer the land has been under cultivation, the more likely it is to need Jime. During the past season's work on soil survey, wi have had abundance of evidence that these changes have progressed far | enough to render the application of | lime a necessity in many districts." The above statements are from the hest agricultural authorities in Canada and the United States while in England nearly every land lease, stipulates that limestone must be applied to the soil each year. Sour Soil is Common, It is estimated that eighty per! dent, of the soil in the Eastern part | of the continent is more or less sour. | Sour soil is readily detected and | the surest indication is the failure of a clover erop. Other signs are the | growth of sheep sorrel, daisies, wild | strawberries, sour dock and moss. | Sour soils may be easily ascertain- | ed hy testing the soil with litmus] paper. When the soil is moist after a rain or thaw, make an opening | with a clean knife blade and insert a strip of litmus paper. Close the! for the improvement of our soils are not nitrogen, phosphoric acid and | pottash, commonly sold in commer- | cial fertilizers; they are, first or-| ganic manures, produced on the farm, second, natural ground Time- | sfone, and, third, natural ground rock phosphate." Prof. Charles E. Thorne of the Ohio Agrieultural Experiment Sta- tion, says: "Not only is limestone one of the essential constituents of every living cell, without whieh there can be no life, either plant or animal, but it soil around the paper and allow it to! remain five minutes. If the paper hecomes pink, either in spots or al together, it indicates sour soil, Remedy For Sour Soil, Agricultural limestone is the cer- tain remedy for sour or acid soils and its cost is very moderate, { Ground limestone of the highest | quality is available in unlimited quantities in the vicinity of Dundas, Ontario, where limestone crops out of the side of the mountain and Is being prepared for agricultural use under the name Agstone, | News of Nearby Places | (Continued froin page 3, se stances which make it necessary ver these relations, As a small token of our regard, we ask you to accept these® little zifts, and trust that they, though 11, may be an expression of the ndship and esteem which prompted the giving.
