PRODUCTION DEPENDS ON IN
CREASED SOIL fertility

Probably OF no time in the history
of this country has there been a
greater need for increased fertility
of the soil than now The soil is
wanting humus. The one crop sys-
tenn has greatly reduced the supply
of it. These were some of the points
brought out at the West Tennessee
Farmers Institute. A good system
of crop rotation will put needed hui
mus in the soil. Some OF the cover
crops that might be plonted are:
Crimson clover, rye, OF turf-oats.
These crops should be plowed un-
der the spring after they have been
used as a winter and early spring
pasture.
For nearly five years the world
was busily destroying the accumulo-
ton of centuries and during that
time many ordinary things were left
u1done. Now, every man in some
way must help replace this loss. A
large percent of the men who went
to war were taken from the farms.
This, of course, lessened form labor.
This shortage of labor and food
supply must be overcome by increas-
ing the fertility OF the soil; lessen
the number of acres per man and
mule; and by practicing good cultiva.
ton.
One acre properly cared for and
fortified will produce os much or
more than four acres not made rich
in plant food. In other words one
man can make as much on one acre
of rich land as on tour acres Of poor
land.
Sow a part of your land in clover
or other soil building crops. Grow
more livestock; pasture some OF your
land, and look after proper drainage.
Enrich and deepen your soil and
make greater yield of crops.
