loss by every article sold from our farm
hay, grains. roots and stock. they supply
this deficit by the purchase of mineral
manures and by manures imported from
other countries, even from the United
States.
We can see. through this view OF the
case. why our soils are deteriorating
while others are improving. While we
are losing part of our manares and not
bringing into requisition the materials
nature has SO kindly and abundan,ly plac-
cd about us, and allowing part OF our
crops to GO from our farms and not re-
turned. we need not be surprised that our
soils are becoming exhausted. And when
we consider the procura,ive and protect.

the lower part of a field that has been
constantly under the plough accumulates.
