TIE DUST MTLCH-FARM
PHILOSOPHY.

Some farInerS may not snow Just what
the term "dust mulch means. III -. they
should study the wisdom Of Banker
Charles II. Pea~e of RaymondvilIe. He
can explain 10 them how q dust mulch j.
merely a puIverized surface dirt, which
fills the cracks and crannics of the plowed
ground and preserves, or conacrvcs, the
moisture IN the earth.
Some farmers think they have per
performed their entire duty when they
plow the ground, and leave II IN great
clods, with wide spaces between. through
which the penetrating air creeps in, dry
lng up whatever Of moisture there may
have been ~ the earth before the farmer
exposed II thus.
But nowadays, the farmers are com
'ng To reaiize the folly OF that method.
They are learning that their work ~ pre-
pairing the soil i not finished unnl the
clods are broken up and the surface dirt
pulvcrIzed 50 ~ 10 form a dust mulch to
retain the moisture IN the soil.
BY tins method the farmers have learned
that they can produce crops with a mini
mum of ram and with even more sails
factory and certain result than ~ the old
method.
= This ! the simple philosophy of the dust
mulch. Ask Mr.. Pca~c II thi~ isn't 80.
