Is much
variation In yield per This Is
due partly to the farmers themseh cs some
cultivating thoroughly well and some
not so well but It Is mostly explained by
the fact that some of these crops were
grown on sod giound that Is ground for
the llrst time turned by the plow and
some on ground which had been culti
vated from one to two years before On
sod grounds the crops arc usually light
and they grow better every year after
