(d) A potato crop is often the first necessity, in ortlcr to provide 

 ready money for other farm operations. In tliat case a small field 

 which has lain idle for two or three years and so accumulated some 

 humus should be planted with good new seed and thoroughly tilled. 



(3) After the soil has been improved any one of several systems of 

 farming, such as dairying, sheep raising, fruit growing, etc., whichever 

 is suited to the given locality, can be built up on this foundation.
