Md.  NURROGEN‘*IN: MUCK SOILS. 
Mutck soils consist largely of the products of decomposition 
of vegetable matter and, in comparison with ordinary soils, are 
usually very rich in nitrogen. This nitrogen, however, is not 
generally in a form readily available for use as plant-food, butt 
may be made so in various ways, among which may be men- 
tioned the application of lime in moderate amounts. The 
figures in the analyses given below represent the amount of 
nitrogen in the air-dried material. It is seen that the nitrogen 
varies from 0.47 to 1.96 per ct.
