Remarks on Present Soil Conditions and Fertilization
An article from the agricultural presses argues that soils must be studied to restore fertility lost from repeated cropping. It explains soil formation, the essential nutrients, and the need to fertilize with nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash. It warns that return of nutrients is necessary and promotes mixing barnyard manure with fertilizers for crops. It also notes grinding corn for hog feed to improve efficiency when corn prices are favorable.
