Old Saw Dust Now in Use
The problem of what to do with
old saw dust piles has been solved
Six or seven years ago Mack
Rice, R-4, Marshall, had a consid
erable amount of timber cut and
sawed into lumber on his farm.
As usual, when the saw mill oper
ator moved out, he left a large
stack of slabs and a huge pile of
saw dust on the old saw mill site,
as firewood.
Evehtually Rice used up the slabs
The saw dust has now begun to
decay. Rice is spreading it over
scr'e poor, thin land which he is
putting in pasture. The decaying
sawdust, he believes, is a/ good
soil conditioner and will. add much
needed organic matter; oir humus,
to the land. t

John E. Ford, assistant exten

recent studies by several experi
ment stations show that raw, fresh
saw dust, when added to -the soil,
requires the addltionf-Pf" extra
amounts of nitrogen a£'lhe rate of
about 60 pounds of 'nitrogen to a
ton of dry saw dust. The organ
isms which cause the saw dust to
decay require large amounts of
nitrogen. However, this extra
nitrogen is returned- to the soil
again when the sawdust has com
pletely rotted.
Ford says mixing saw dust in
soils loosens heavy soils, and rain
water is much more likely to seep
inte them than run off. In sandy
soils the humus derived from saw
dust helps increase the water-hold
