“Soil Fertility”
“The soil is composed of small pieces of rock and
small particles of partly decayed organic matter called
humus.” To be productive the soil must contain in
proper quantity all the elements of plant food.
A twenty bushel wheat crop will remove from the
soil: ,
38.4 pounds of nitrogen,
6.4 .pounds of phosphorus,
28.2 pounds of potassium,
4.2 pounds of calcium.
These four are the most important elements. How
much has been removed by the twenty years of good
crops in this Elk City district?
“Think on these things.”
