 is too wet, as more injury is apt to occur than can be ovei'come in a 

 year's work. Cultivations should be made as frequently as is con- 

 sistent with the maintenance of a proper moisture content in the soil. 

 The soil type will of necessity determine the frequency and depth of 

 cultivation. The .system of cultivation which permits of a rest during 

 the winter and the growth during this period of a winter cover crop, 

 gives evidence of being the most satisfactory method in vogue at this 

 time. Tlie winter cover crop should be of a leguminous nature in 

 order that nitrogen as well as organic material may be added through 

 its incorporation in the soil. The practical adaptation of any principle 

 will of necessity require individual study, since conditions of soil, 

 climate and humidity vary within relatively short distances. 



In short, the grower who will benefit by the work of the experiment 

 station is the one who studies the principles evolved through the work 

 of such a station, and uses judgment and common sense in the appli- 

 cation of its principles to his own conditions.
