INSURE A CROP IN DRY YEAR

Many farmers even in the dry
years raise good crop. An examina-
ton Of their methods shows that they
use moisture conserving methods as
raising corn and potatoes or summer
following. Two things are accomplish
ed in this way. Some moisture is
stored in the soil, weeds are killed,
and weeds rob the crops Of moisture
and the soil is put in better condition.
A part of the farm put into potatoes,
corn or summer fallow will insure an
increased return the following year
