Solis must contain more than a ldozen elements to meet: the re- qulrcments necessary for growth and development of plants which include nitrogen phosphorous, pot.- ash, calcium, sulphur, magnesium,

i sodium, iron. chlorine, silicon. bor-

ion, traces of copper and iodine,

zinc, manganese. The plant also utilizes carbon,

‘obtained from the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide, and also uses hydrogen and oxygen obtained from the sol] moisture by its roots, in the form of water.

green coloring matter of plant cells and ls a. very complex magnesium compound. It is green because the green part of the spectrum ls least absorbed. Magnesium is an es- sential constituent of chlorophyll, .and iron is in some way essential for its formation. Without it. the higher order of plants, such as the potato, are not able to feed upon inorganic matter. Iron ls ln some way associated with its formation and it is well known that when green plants are deprived of iron, the leaves turn pale green or yel- low,.—hut health may be restored by adding iron to the soil or by spraying the leaves with salts of iron.

Prof. Wlllstatter of Munich has made the interesting discovery that the chlorophyll of plants, and the hemoglobin of human blood may be regarded as being derived from‘ a common substance namely — aetloporphyrln.

Chlorophyll ls a complex mag- nesium compound, while hemoglo- bin contalns iron.

The sottof P. E. Island has a large iron content, which explains why, when considered in combina- tion with all the other valued con- tained factors, the P. E. Island potato is of so high quality as to its food values.

Calcium (lime) may sometimes be deficient, especially where there has been heavy rain fall, and if deficient must. also be supplied to the soil.

It formerly was regarded that. these four elements, above. nam- ed, were all that ever became de- pleated in the soil by cropping, but. lately it has been found that at least three more elements fre- quently became deficient to meet the needs for the development 0i’ certain crops, and when so de- ficient must. be supplied to tho soil. These are boron supplied as borax or boriiclc acid, zinc and manganese.

Each of these essential elements has a separate function to per- form ln the growth of the plant and this ls especially noted in the potato.

If one element is deficient, plant growth will‘ be restricted by the lack of a. supply of that. element although others may be present. in ample amounts and form, for maximum production. If the soil contain ample amounts of potash and phosphates but be very de- flclent. in nitrogen, plants will not grow ant‘. develop until the de- dlclency in nitrogen has been sup- plied in ample amounts for the needs of ltlant. growth. Nitrogen is an essential constituent of all proteins and therefore of pro- toplasm the active material in every living cell.

All these elements must be sup- plied to the soil-in part by stable fertilizer, which is very rich in humus and which serves as the storehouse for nitrogen-and by chemical fertilizers.

Tile function of each of these and the important part each fills in the growth arid development of the potato will be discussed furth- er on.

The food requirements of plants are rather simple as compared prtrsc for long-London Dally Ex- press.
