severe n code of sumptuary laws that

their crops last season but through
out the whole county. With the

be disced as soon as cut, in fact follow
the binder with the disc, which loosens
the surface soil and kills weeds that
take large amounts of moisture. This
will save a good deal of moisture.
Organic Matter is also necessary for
the germs to do we'll. It furnishes
them food and enables the soil to hold
more moisture.
Deep Flowing is one of the most
effective ways of keeping a good mois-

the germs more space to work in as
