From the very earliest times, however, farmers have assigned a very high value to humus as a factor of soll fertility and this be llef was strengthened by the ob served facts that soils rich in humus were, as a rule, highly productive and that such materials as animal ex- crement or barnyard manure, which supplied the soll with an abundance of humus, possessed a marked fertiliz. ing power. Although many of the old theories which were supposed to ac count for the value of humus are no longer tenable, recent experiments have shown, that there are sound solentific reasons for ascribing to hia. mus, a high value as a factor of soll fertility and have demonstrated that farmers are wholly right in attach ing great importance to the preserva. tion of humus In thelr solls—~W.
