doned. It was also shown in a recent 

 article by former Director Hall of the 

 Agricultural Experimental Station of 

 Bothamsted, England, that at least 

 wheat and barley plants, after grow- 

 ing in the soil for sixty years con- 

 tinuously, have not thrown off toxic 

 excreta capable of accumulating in the 

 soil. It is stated by Mr. Hall, as a 

 result of these and further experi- 

 ments by him, that fertilizers have 

 been returned to their old category as 

 plant foods and that the theories ad- 

 vanced by the Bureau of Soils in 

 Washington concerning them are falla- 

 cious. 



Mineral Food Stored in Soil. 



Mr. Hall has also shown that where 

 mineral fertilizers are added to the 

 soil in excess of the immediate needs 

 of the plants, they are stored in such 

 forms as to be subsequently highly 

 available. It was even found by Mr. 

 Hall that barley throve better in ex- 

 tracts of soil in which barley had been 

 grown for sixty years than in artifi- 

 cial solutions containing the same 

 quantities of mineral ingredients. This 

 be attributed to the possible benefit of 

 small amounts of soluble organic ma- 

 terials, which had accumulated in the 

 soil. 



In the experiments which I con- 

 ducted in Bhode Island, where about 

 fifteen different kinds of plants were 

 each grown on a separate area for two 

 successive years, with like fertiliza- 

 tion, it was found that when onions 

 followed the third year on all of the 

 areas, the yields ranged from twelve to 

 412 bushels per acre, according to the 

 crop which had preceded. The continua- 

 tion of this work by Director Hartwell 

 has shown that buckwheat was able to 

 thrive better where onions had failed 

 than elsewhere. These results show 

 that in the plan for treatment anc" 

 fertilization, one must take cognizance 

 of the previous manuring, fertilization 

 and cropping of the land as well as 

 the kind of crops which are to follow. 



Poisons Developed in Soil. 



The fact that certain poisonous sub- 

 stances develop in soils was long ago 

 recognized in Holland by Mulder, and 

 in other places in Europe by other 

 investigators. It was even found more 

 than twenty years ago in connection 

 with the experiments in Rhode Island 

 that ammonium sulphate, which had 

 proved at Rothamsted, England, to be 

 a good fertilizer, was immediately 

 poisonous on the highly acid Rhode 

 island soil. After liming, however, it 

 became highly effective. 



Even nitrate of soda, highly es- 

 teemed as a fertilizer, may seriously 

 injure the physical condition of cer- 

 tain soils and such injury is capable 

 of being corrected upon the applica- 

 tion of sulphate of ammonia. Such 

 facts, as well as the possible loss of 

 nitrates by drainage, illustrate certain 

 advantages of ready-mixed, commercial 

 fertilizers in which the nitrogenous in-
