ffredients are introduced in several 

 Forms so that losses from leaching may 

 be avoided, and so that the supply 

 necessary to plants may be continuous 

 throughout their growing season. 



Sometimes Poison, Sometimes Food. 



Certain of the so-called plant poi- 

 sons, which develop in soils, appear to 

 be both food and medicine for certain 

 other groups of plants. An instance 

 of this is afforded by the fact that 

 under conditions where onion plants 

 will die, cranberry plants thrive better 

 than if the soil is corrected so as to 

 meet the needs of the onions. Simi- 

 larly, mignonette cannot be grown on 

 soils which are nevertheless ideally 

 adapted to Silene orientalis, asters, 

 and many others of the flowering 

 plants. 



Recent investigations at the Indiana 

 station show that in some cases where 

 the tilth of the soil has been improved 

 by the introduction of vegetable mat- 

 ter, and where there is an abundant 

 supply of ordinary plant food, crops 

 failed to thrive because of the pres- 

 ence of aluminum nitrate. It was 

 shown, however, that upon the addi- 

 tion of lime, the alumina is precipi- 

 tated, the nitric acid combines with 

 lime, and the plants then thrive 

 splendidly. 



Soil Disinfectants. 



Interest has been awakened in the 

 subject of the treatment of soils by 

 the fact that carbon bisulphide, 

 toluene and various other soil dis- 

 infectants have been found to be 

 highly beneficial. According to the 

 results at the Eothamsted Experi- 

 mental Station, this is due in some
