One OF the Most Desirable Crops in Va
rious Respccts. ~
We frequently call the attention Of
the readers of the Pioughman to this
crop. because we believe it to be one OF
the most desirable to grow; few crops
are so certain to yield well every year.
and few that bring so much money
draw so lightly from the land. The
land can be prepared and the seed sown

is not as busy as in the spring, and
there is the advantage of being able to
SOW it Immediately after most crops are
gathered One great advantage of this
crop, it covers the ground with good
coat of vegetation during the winter and
spring months; this protects it from the
heavy winds Of winter and spring.
which often blow away large quantit es
of the finest and best portions of the
soil that is left exposed after the sum-
mer crops are gathered. Not only does
the rye protect the soil from blowing
away, but by growing until very late in
the autumn and beginning to grow very
early in the spring it is gathering sub.
stance from the air in large quantities
at time when few other crops can do
it; thus by the protection it affords and
by the accumulation it makes it saves
and gathers up nearly all of the fertili-
ty it needs. so that soil after produc-
