says Wallace's Farmer, the value of
manure Is likely TO advance from
year to year. because farmers are
learning better and better every year
that nothing else is SO effective In
restoring actual fertility TO the soil
and improving It's physical condition.
The farms that are manure factories.
and where the product Is handled
with reasonable care, are growing
rich and richer from year to year:
and the farms from which all the
crops are sold ON the market or tn
