cultivated fields after every rain. 1t

This crust shuts out air from the soil
beneath it, and it is very important
that it be broken. Hence some stir
ring of the soil is needed after every

While these crops are small, dragging
over the surface breaks this crust and
prepares the way to more thorough eul-
