EXPERIMENTSTATIONBULLETIN Results of the Analyses of Many Samples of Nebraska Soil Taken at Different Depths. Tho Nebraska Experiment Station has Just Issued Hullotln No. ill, en titled, "Changes In the Composition of tho Loess Soils of Nebraska Caused by Cultivation." Tho bulletin Is Issued as a prelimi nary answer to the often aBked ques tion: "To whnt extent has tho fer tility of the soil of Nebraska been de pleted and what will bo the result of the continuance of tho present methods of farming?" Tho analyses reported In the bulletin Indicate wherein tho chief changes In compo sition have taken place during tho past thirty to fifty years of cultivation and also wherein the most rapid changes of the future nre to be ex pected. Tho term "loess," while still moro or less unfamiliar to the farmers, will gradually become well known to them, as it Ib the name of the deep, uni form, stoue-rree, heavy loam soil which covers nearly all the southeast ern half of the state. Tho bulletin gives the results of tho analyses of many samples of soil taken at different depths ' from tho surface Inch to the sixth foot. It also shows tho composition of the surface soil of prairie Holds compared with that of adjacent long cultivated Holds the history of which Is known. It would appear from the analyses that tho only form of plant food that has as yet shown a diminution suf ficient to he detected by chemical ana lysis Is nitrogen. The only Import ant soil constituents, whether used as plant food or not, that have de clined appreciably after thirty to fifty years of cultivation, aro the nitrogen and the organic matter. These two constituents fall and rise together. They decrease rapidly In amount from tho surface downward. Accordingly tho washing away or blowing away of the surface soil will niako the soil poorer in these constituents. The greatest losses In tho past have been caused by washing or blowing. The content of the other forms of plant food Is rather higher in the subsoil than in the surface soil and, accord ingly, Is not injuriously affected by the removal of surface soli. To maintain the supply of nitrogen and organic matter, it will be neces sary to prevent tho removal of sur face soil by wind or water in so far as possible. Further, the burning of straw nnd statks should be avoided and all barnyard nianuro should bo returned to the land. Even it' these precautions be observed there will be a steady decline In the cultivated fileds unless legumes (clover or alfalfa) be grown or tho produce of other fields be fed and the manure ap plied. Uy growing clover or alfalfa tho nitrogen and organic matter may be increased at the same time that a profitable crop is obtained. Residents of Nebraska whose names are not on the Station mailing list may obtain this bulletin free of cost by applying to E. A. HURNETT, Director. Agricultural Experiment Station, Lincoln, Neb.
