ROTATION OF CROPS FAVORED
Intelligent System Of Legumlnous
Plants VIII Restore Fertility Of
Exhausted Soils.

Agricultural science is maintaining
an equitable parity with other pro
fessions. In fact, the science Of hui
man maintenance is receiving appro-
pirate recognition by all enlightened
governments, The possibility Of pop
ulation increasing beyond the capa'
bility of agricultural production is a
problem that confronts the Inhabitants
Of all quarters Of the globe, says Good
alEs Farmer Probably the present
decade is characterized by wider ex-
perimentation in agricultural problems
than any era OF the worlds history.
Civilized nations are aroused to the
necessity Of increasing the productive
ness Of the land and enlarging the
sources OF supply Of foods obtained
from the river, lake and sea. Eng
land has practically increased its pop
ulation beyond the limit Of sellman-
tenance and is annually dependent on
other nations for large percentage OF
her food supply. It is not mat
ter Of voluntary philosophizng, but a
strenuous affair of economic necessity
that directs scientific experiment to
the development Of agricultural re-
sources
Exhausted soils need their virgin
fertility restored The former wastes
Of fertilizers are now eliminated and
the land is managed to increase rath-
err than diminish It's productlyeness,

SECURING THE BEST RESULTS
