Excerpt from An Introduction to AgriculturePlants on the surface of the ground wither and die and gradually become a part of the soil. In some places in the woods the fallen leaves have lain undisturbed for centuries. They have decayed and made a dark colored substance in the soil. The roots of plants that have died, rot or decay and add other vegetable sub stances to the soil. These decayed parts of plants give to the soil some material that is very valuable for the growth of plants and improve it in other ways by making it light so that light and water will circulate through it readily, causing it to warm up earlier in the spring. Animal matter also enters into the soil and helps to make fertile soil. The decaying plant and animal matter in the soil is called humus.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
