AMOUNT OF FERTILITY REMOVED FROM THE SOIL 
BY CROPS. 
If we burn any of our feeding stuffs there remains a portion 
unconsumed, which we call the ash, or mineral matter of the 
plant. This ash is distributed unequally throughout the different 
parts of the plant, there being less in the seed than in the stem, 
and less in the stem than in the leaves. There are also great dif- 
ferences in the amount of ash in different classes of plants; that 
is, plants botanically different, although cultivated plants of the 
same family usually do not differ greatly in the per cent of ash. 
Succulent plants, such as the foliage of roots like beets, turnips, 
etc., sometimes contain as much as 15 to 18 per cent or more ash,
