The rc\ olutionai j pait of the

In most feitilizci manufactui

Thcie aie manj misconceptions
about organic matter
Dr. Firman Bear, USDA soil
scientist, savs, ‘Plants aie the
ptoduceis of oigame mattei not
the useis ol it They teed pri
marily on the inorganic matter
that is leloased by (he soil and
the decay of oiganic matter and
not the organic matter itself ’
He adds that one of the best
w<a s of increasing the supplv of
oiganic matter ,s by the use of
chemical feitihzer
When laige amounts of strawy
nianuie are added to a field, oft

will be lowered The bacteria
which break down the stiaw and

But if added nitrogen is appli
