It so seems to us. But howare we to do it? There are j -j many little details to which n caretu! attention should be given; j t but there are a few fundamental v roles which must be observed. | ( 1 ) We must not permit our o lands to wash. Whatever will J prevent this, deep plowing, ter t races, cover crops, is a thing not e to be neglected. n (2) We must not expect to'd lalro Irnm .It. ..11 I I.? * - ? ~ 1 ?"v "in 'wiKin mi i-iir tiiur i; without returning something. We have the fertilizer habit, s and so we are not as likely to at- d tempt this as are farmers of, a some other section.-; hut? rt (/I) We must keep up the sup- ^ ply of humus as well as of plant i food, and this we have shame- ^ lully neglected to do. This means c ?ver crops as tin, and green crops to turn under, and the w feeding of live stock. * (4) We must rotate our crops. 1 The growinir year after year of e one crop will inevitably deplete i the soil. i (5) We must have in this rotat ion a liberal number of legnm- ^ inous crops. With the legumes J we can increase the fertility of our l lands and make Southern agri- j culture the prosperous calling it t " ' \ f hould be.
