seed in the ground, First, what crops
his soil is best adapted To raise. To
try to grow that which is not adapted
to the soil Is Il waste of time and labor.
Next what does he understand the care
of best? This Is less important because
II he Is not very stupid agricultural pa
pers and books of some kind neighbor
may teach him enough to make him
successful with a crop OF which he has
had no previous experience. Third,
what crop can he tind a good market

not all may sell well In his own neigh
