Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on Soils and Fertilizers We have already learned that the soil con tains mainly two classes of materials, humus and mineral elements. We have defined humus as decayed vegetable matter, such as the re mains of plants that were not used by man, but left upon the soil. The elements of a mineral nature are just as essential to the welfare of the plant as the Organic matter, or humus. We will discuss these mineral ele ments from a chemical point of view in our next chapter, but we will now consider them briefly from a phy'sical standpoint.
