Dry summer usually follows wet
winter. If this rule holds good this
year, the farmer who does not pre-
pare, his lands for dry season Will
get left. Preparation of lands by
deep blowing not only prepares the
land for drought, but it also makes
the best preparation to stand heavy
rains of long wet spells.
