The manure and fertilizer left over
from a crop can be lost during the win

For this reason II is recommended
that no field be left bare OF growth.
II the land must be plowed In the fall
the work should be done not later
than September. The manure may be
spread and worked into the soil. and
rye should then be seeded on the land.
The rye must not be regarded as a
crop, however, as 1t may be plowed
under In spring. Such a crop is known
is cover crop, and holds the plant
foods during the winter, as well as
preventing damage from heavy rains.
