Summer crops still require 1lltgeat

One az the greatest antidotes against
drought is an abundance Of humus in

half bushels per aore; if seed are
scarce, plant in drills two and n half to

Will induce So -mnoh more vigorous
growth that the drilled peas will make

the rapid drying OF tho soil in summer
