HUMUS AND LIME

Humua may be defined roughly as vegetable matter in an advanc- ed stage of decay. ff well drained soils are to be highly productive they, must contain about 4 per cent of this active organic matter_ It supports the microorganisms which are so important in releasing the

tilth and renders its surface more resistant to sheet erosion.

The analysis of 400 samples of soil taken from many parts oi the Province shows that 80 per cent of Island soils under cultivation are low in humus, and that some are very iovl.

‘ To maintain this humus coxltmit at the desired level. not only rc- gular applications of organic mal- ter are required, but good cultural practices as well. Summer tillage of soil hastens the decay and dis- 'appeal‘ance of 0r:;:lnic mallcr
