resting forms or sclerotia will survive 

 even though the soil acidity be corrected 

 by applications of ground limestone or 

 ashes. Evidently some sort of soil treat- 

 ment will be required and is required to 

 meet the conditions which are brought 

 about in the forcinghouse. 



Special soil treatment to destroy para- 

 sites is seldom practicable in outdoor cul- 

 ture. In cases of clover-sick soils we 

 are able to overcome the soil sickness by 

 applications of lime, preferably in form 

 of ground raw limestone. We do find soil 

 treatments necessary in plant beds of 

 many kinds. In tobacco growing dis- 

 tricts where the same plant beds are oc- 

 cupied from year to year or in any plant 

 growing business where similar methods 

 are followed and even in hotbeds, the 

 conditions which prevail are essentially 

 those developed under glass. Under 

 these circumstances methods of soil 

 treatment have been used with great ad- 

 vantage. These methods, for the most 

 part, are merely adaptations of those em- 

 ployed in greenhouses. One exception 

 may be noted, namely, the old practice 

 of burning the brush heap where cab- 

 bage plants or tobacco plants, etc., were 

 to be grown. This is probably the old- 

 est method of soil treatment and it is of 

 historical as well as of practical value. 



Special Soil Treatment Required. 



Our friends, the florists, with their sys- 

 tems of raised benches have developed a 

 practice of changing soil each year. In 

 this, both the rotation and outdoor freez- 

 ing of the soil help to keep down soil 

 parasites. However, all will admit that 

 this method is impracticable in vegetable 

 forcing. The soil parasitism brought 

 about by the continuous, intensive cul- 

 ture may be met profitably in the green- 

 house. What is the object of such green-

house soil disinfection and how may it 

 be secured? Obviously, we first need the 

 correct principle to guide us. I wish to 

 impress upon you that this correct prin- 

 ciple is really an important thing. The 

 methods to be followed in securing re- 

 sults will vary according to the particu- 

 lar needs and appliances available. The 

 principle will never vary — it it the law 

 which underlies the practice. 



In this case, soil disinfection means 

 that some method of destroying soil para- 

 sites must be employed. At the same 

 time these methods must leave the soil 

 in the proper condition to yield profitable 

 crops. Soil disinfection under these cir- 

 cumstances is just as essential as the dis- 

 infection of rooms that have been occu- 

 pied by persons ill from scarlet fever, 

 diphtheria, smallpox, . etc. The end 

 sought is the same, namely, the destruc- 

 tion of the injurious organisms with a 

 minimum injury to other things.
