The leading factor In making the faru pay Is the maintenance of crop-produclni power. In a state of nature the soil doei not wear out. Nature's crops decay 01 the land that produces them, and eacl year there Is added lo the soil a smal amount of plant food from the weather lug of the rock particles of the soil. There ate two general methods in res toring soil fertility: one consists In feed Ing a large proportion of the crops ti live stock, returning the resulting man lire lo the soli; the other. In Rrowln) crops that add nitrogen an . humus ti the soil, combined with the use of com mercl.il fertilizers. Generally these twi methods can be combined to advantage. The most universal fault with Amerlciu farmers Is the lack of appreciation of thi value of good agricultural literature, Th successful man In any calling Is alwayi .v .student. In addition to this, he I practical-minded and 't close observer. The farm has always been and will al ways be the bulwark of national ehro ler. The teachlnt of science are Uklni the drudgery out of farm life and lift Inr it to a higher plane. There it 1 distinct euncnt settlnc In from city t country, il is a healthy movement. I.e. It grow.
