§ 6. Valne of Sand, Clay and Humus.
169. Sand. — The value of sand in the soil depends on the kind of rock from which it has been reduced, and the size of its particles. White quartz sand con- tains no plant food, and soils containing it in large quantity are not usually fertile.
To determine the
...character of the sand, mix a por- tion of the soil with a large amount of water. After allowing time for the sand to settle, pour off the wa- ter, which will contain most of the clay and humus.
By repeatedly washing the sand which remains, it may be obtained pure. If it is white, " sharp" and coarse, it is of little value in the soil.
