(Contributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto.)
The effect which the various field•.
crops have on the physical and'chem-
ical properties et the soil is very dif-
ferent. An undertsanding ' of the
peculiarities of the common farm
crops and soils is very necessary to
the man on.the land in order that
he "understand and realize the ad-
vantages in rotating the grain, grass
and cultivated crops.
Crops Vary Greatly, in Root System.
�.« Inconsidering the common crops
with regard to their growth, effect
on physical texture of the soils and
tee • supply of available, plant food
to the soil, we must give attention to
:he following groups of crops; --(1)
Deep rooted crops; (2) Shallow root -
ad crops: (3) .Gross feeding crops;
(4,Z Delicate feeding crops; • (5) Ni-
.rogeu-gathering crops; (6) Humus
producing crops; (7) gumus de-
stroying crops. SheIlow, and deep
rt;u;.ed crops are best illustrated " by
s.uupering the root systema of wheat
nerd entail:a. Wheat as a shallow
rooted plant exerts an entirely differ -
.,.,t inauence on the physical condi-
ciaa of the soil than does the alfalfa
,,ant with its heavy deep reaching
:outs. Continuous cropping with
.,..eat, barley or oats on a field will
eeeelop a bard pan condition just be-
eet.i the furrow slice,. Such will
serial the absorption and storage
.r moisture necessary far full crop,
.•reduction, in contrast to the shat -
ere -surface sea condition we can
orate the effect on the soil oe the
,.keep rooted plants, such as alfalfa,
red clover and sweet clover, and see
-.ore open porous moisture and air-
etnitting condition of the subsoil
..lade by these tap rooted plants.
•dress vs. Delicate Feeding Plants.,
cross and delicate feeding crops
.:aur be illustrated by comparing corn
with barley ,or oats. The corn plant
:,y means of its strong root system
.an thrive under more severe condi-
tions than can the barley or oat
plants' with their slender root Lys -
terns. The strong 'root system of the
corn plant can prepare its own plant
food to a greater extent than the
weaker types of crop plants, hence
we see corn, potatoea and similar
plants flourishing where shallow,del-
icate feeding grains do not do' very.
well. The gross feeding plants will.
'save the soil in better physical con-
dition than the delicate feeding
.ypes, and for that reason should
recede them in the rotation. Gross
:Fading means a big, strong, vigor
urs root system, which can only :,e
appreciated by examiningthe entire
root of the plant. There is as muem.
of the growingplant beneath the sur-
face of
ur-face•of the soil` as there is above, but
wince it is more difficult to see teat
;hart below the surface we do not.
realize the extent of the humus reset-

Nitrogen -gathering crape are gen-
erally beat known as the clovers, peas
.ard beans. All such are very valii-
.ale since they add to the stock of
soil nitrogen, andmake possible the
.ecumulation of nitrogen' salts. Ni-

he will probably figure largely in the dog race featuring the Winter Sports
Program.
QUEBEC is again to have a real, live carnival that shall
be truly representative of the wonderful sporting
attractions of the ancient Capital. The success of the
dog races held in Quebec last year has encouraged the
organizers to sponsor a very much bigger prograra for
tilts year, and a comprehensive series of sporting events
will be held on February 21, 22, and 23*in which all the
sports for whicb Quebec is so naturally adapted will be
represented, and culminating in a grand masquerade ball
at the Chateau Frontenac.- In addition to the interna-
tional races for the Eastern Dog Sled Derby Trophy,
there. will be events in snow -shoeing, skiing, ice racing,
curling and skating. The whole of these events will take
place within the Exhibition Grounds, and it is proposed
to once again give Quebec an ice palace,
"The people of Quebec take, and naturally, a great
pride in their wonderful old city, and the ancient capital
is not solarge that its people cannot get together on
occasion to fete en masse. A carnival in-Quebee is not to be
forgotten, for the whole populace absorbs the spirit of the
•
•
season, drawing its visitors into the gay vortex, so that
even the walls which rang to laughter centuries ago lose
their aged atmosphere, and lend themselves to the fete.
By reason of its even and exhilarating climate, its
accessibility: and natural and artificial opportunities for
sport, Quebec is the home of the winter sports for the
continent. Each wintry season, more people are at-
tracted to it, rind for long periods it becomes the social
centre, as well as the -sporting centre of North America.
Practically everything that is carried on is on an open
scale—Quebec is the soul of hospitality. A hundred rinks
invite you to skate, as far as you can see, fir -clad hills
invite you to ski through their myriadglorious glades, of
toboggan slides there are not a few, and there are many
excursions whit;h simply must be made on snow -shoes,:
As for evening entertainment, the ball room of the Cha-
teau Frontenae is the scene of a dance nightly. There are
moonlight excursions, events on all illuminated rinks,
music, song and dance, --a thousand things to do.
