phosphate will enable farmers to
grow clover and clover is always an
indication of good farming
DR.. Stephenson also recommended
that the farmers grow more legume
crops and turn them under to en-
rich the soil and to plant cover
crop to protect the fields during the
winter to keep them from washing

Anon Farris and a few other farm
ers of Grays will order a car load of
phosphate to demonstrate it's use i'm
