Unfortunately 1t is during the same
period that the growth OF summer
plants declines and they absorb less
and less OF these soluble nitrates. The
result is that these valuable nitrates
are very apt to be leached out OF the
soil and be lost. To counterfeit this
great loss all land possible should be
covered with some crop which will
grow through autumn winter and
spring. absorb these soluble nitrates

be given by seeding down the land in
