According to Agronomists, o-e of r!te most im-

is its effect on the water-holding capacity of
the soil. Organic matter has about 4 times the
water-holding capacity of clay and about 3
ti es that of a sandy soil. This is one of the
many reasons why soils are benefited by the
addition of organic matter—crop stubble. The
