In no other year in the histo

such vital Importance to farm

The scarcity of fertilizer aud
the high price which will be

every means in conserving his
soil fertility, and increase crop

stock combined, fill the condi.
tions Of soil conservation and
farm prosperity.
Ground limestone or burnt
lime can be had in sufficient
quantities for farm purposes at

your crop of lcgumes should
