When the stomach can't do it, you must take something that will help the stomach. The proper way to do is to eat what you want, and let Kodol digest the food. Nothing else can do this. When the stomach is weak it needs help; you must help it by giving it rest, and Kodol will do that. oa's i- always from September sowing, as they have ? good season for tillering and getting strong enough to winter well Oats drilled iu well in September will beaf all the open turrow ?>ats sown late.
