Abstract

I SOILS earth or that compound substance which furnishes nutriment to plants, or which is particularly adapted to support and nourish them.Soil varies in depth from a few inches to several feet.Clay soils were produced, in part, by the wearing down and decomposition of rocks containing aluminous minerals, as granite.Sandy soil consists of fine particles of stone placed where found, by the washing of water.Muck soil is produced by the decay of large quantities of vegetation.Clay and sandy soils were originally improved and made rich by the addition for centuries of vegetable matter such as leaves, weeds and other vegetation.We agree with him who said "that the condition of the soil is of more importance than its character."Any kind of soil, whether clay, sandy or muck, can be made 'MOld DSIG V HLIM 'SNTIVLS NYOO GNV HOLOA 'AALLVN JINVDYO YAGNN ONIMO'Td CHAPTER III ORGANIC MATTER
