Expanding On The Inside

"A four-ton clov.r crop on one acre
is more valuable than four ton of
weedy grass harvested from four
acres Running the moving machine
half day to get grass enough for
one good two horse load is respon-
sihle for more poor farms and poorer
farmers. and for he lack of food
stuffs to feed our population than is
the scarcity of land suitable for crop
production"
Every man who has run a moving
machine under the conditions named
will have warm spot in his heart
for the editor of New England Farms,
who coined the expression. III is
wearisome job and one not calculated
to enhance the respect Of man for
himself or his Job.
Why do We do it, We love to har-
vest big crop and late to fool with
poor one. 1t is easier to improve
the hay crop than any other crop
grown Experiments have proven that
by simply top dressing the meadow
with fertilizer the CROP production
may be doubled or tripled
II is hard to understand why We
do II. unless ii is because of our de-
ftghtfui American habit of expand
ing--expanding beyond ourselves at
times. This is a habit which we will
have to overcome New conditions
FASTENED by the great war. will COM
