A Question Worth Considering.

The real question IN regard TO en-
riching the land by deep blowing is
whether we can furnish better ..pas.

,eloping on the one hand the latent

other hand. by thorough working and
nanuring the surface soil, six or eight
inches deep. There can be no doubt
that many of our subsols contain
large qualities OF latent plant.tood. =

they contain any more than the sur.
face soil. The reason thal orr soils
are not as productive as We couh wish
