C., under the Act of March 3, 1870. Sawdust Piles Used For Humus The problem of what to do with old sawdust piles has been solved by a Madison County farmer. Six or seven years ago Mack Rke, Route 4, Marshall, had a considerable amount of tin^)er cut and sawed into lumber on his farm. As usual, when the sawmill operator moved out, he left a large stack of slabs and a huge pile of sawdust on the old sawmill site. Eventually Rice used up the slabs as firewood. The sawdust has now begun to decay. Rice is spreading it over some 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, or humus, to the land. rate of about 60 pounds of nitrogen to a ton of dry sawdust. The or ganisms which cause the sawdust 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 sawdust in soils loosens heavy soils, and rain water is much more likely to seep into them than run off. In sandy soils the humus derived from sawdust helps increase the water holding capacity of the land. Sawdust is not only a good soil conditioner, but it also has limit ed value as a fertilizer. Its value says Ford, is roughly equivalent to that of a 4-2-4 commercial fer tilizer. 0 »>■ I Socials-Personal Items ... COBLE - Mtl^EAN ^ NUPTIALS HELD IN ABERDEEN CHURCH John E.
