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. Sand from granite or limestone contains a considerable amount of plant food, which, under the influence of air and cultivation, will be slowly given up in avail- able form for the plant.
