and  Doty  with  the  aid  of  most  ex

T he  evidences  on  which  the  pre 
ceding  statements  were  based  were 
then  presented.  Most  of  the  work 
done  by  the  Bureau  of  Soils  or  at 
least  a  large  part  of  it  has been  done 
with  aqueous  extracts  of  the  soil. 
In  these  water  cultures  it  was  found 
that  where  crops  were  made  to  suc 
ceed  themselves  and  the  yield  was

the  soil 
could  be  restored  to  its  virgin  fertil 
ity  by  shaking  it  up  with  carbon 
black  or,  with  pyrogallol.  Neither 
in 
these  materials  add  nothing 
of 
the  way  of  plant  food  but  they  do 
remove 
the  excreta.  So  manure, 
especially  green  manures,  when 
plowed  under,  do  not  add  much 
plant  food  but  they  do  remove  the 
excreta  of  the previous  crop  and  in 
that  way  make  a  somewhat  worn 
out  soil  more  and  more  productive. 
To  further  prove  that  soil  exhaus

twice  would  sometimes  increase  the 
fertility  of  that  solution.  And  so
